Regarding Stair Escalating

I consider myself prideful, and this is just one evidence of such a statement.

I take the stairs two at a time. Not occasionally, or when someone else does, or when I am in a hurry. I always take the stairs two at a time, (Except when carrying very heavy objects or team carrying)

The stair, like the wheel, is one of the remaining artifacts used in the ancient days as a remarkable tool. Today people find them a nusance. Humans, who are obsessed about speed and comfort in living, have developed more modern day tools to combat this ancient friend and foe. The Elevator is a wonderful invention for escalating objects, people, and ideas up several floors in little time in comparison to walking, especially in extremely high buildings. However if that extremely high building only has one elevator, it is usually faster to simply walk up, or down the stairs. Why? because you sit there, sedentary, at the floor you are waiting on, for up to a minute. In that time you could be almost there! When the building has only one or two floors, it is usually 100% faster to simply walk up the stairs. 

Obviously there are times where the elevator is completely needed. For example, when the company I belong to had to move several racks of servers up to the second floor. Those things are around 500 pounds each...bringing them up the stairs would be the job of six men.

Another note I would like to attach to this thought is that "modern man", in its quest for simplicity and rapidity, have become lazy. And most are overweight from taking the elevator instead of the stairs. They are unhappy because they are overweight and they do not think themselves able "to take those blasted stairs." When, in most cases, if that person were to shun the elevator, they would find, at the very least, themselves aliviated of what ails them.

As always, my blog posts are opinion and not aimed at any person in particular. I love everyone and accept the way they are, with and without flaws and blessings. As I expect everyone to accept me.

Regarding the name

As I sat there, pondering what name of a blog would best fit me, I began to be introspective. My introspection yielded great results. In life I search for peace, it is my drive and my hearts target. Most everything I do resides around the fact that I want my mind and body to be at ease.

 

For example, in high school, I would do homework, not for the fun of it, not to complete the assignment, and not for learning either. I would complete the assignment simply to have it off my mind, to be at peace with myself. While doing the assignment I would place all of my effort into the task, so that I would not be agonizing over it later. A job done poorly is the same as not doing it in the first place in my head. 

Perhaps this was borne of my childhood growth, perhaps my parents' rebukes hit me hard, and that has driven me to always been doing things just to relax. It is possible I lived in fear of others disapproval at what I was doing. I might have been mischievous in my younger years, which caused me to tread lightly around my relations with others. Whatever the cause, it is who I have become.

Another aspect to this name I truly enjoy is the hyphen. What a delight-full way to separate a word into two, and change the meaning enough to emphasize the target of your explanation. My mind, like many minds, is full a great portion of the time. It is busy with the concerns of everyday living. And it is filled with thoughts, theories, assumptions, plans, reactions, worries and statements. 

It seems I have become a giant book. I use some of the pages often, those pages become torn, tattered and stained. Other pages are bright and barely used; and I place new ones in often. The pages that become tattered and soiled are the ones I eventually discard. Some of these easily spotted pages are the sayings I always seem to use. "Be right back" for example, is a classic statement people use in order to portray the longer thought. "I've got to go, but I will come back here at some time in the (near) future." that page is tattered. I replace the page with a different one, perhaps of an old nature like, "I shall return." I might go to a more modern approach, "See you on the flip side."  I am an advocate of the older returning so I often will go with "I shall return."

With my heart and mind topped off with peace, and with my mind growing like an ever-expanding book. I am content in life. Thus the title "Peace-full Mind."
