The New Race of "Why Bother?" People

Why bother. That’s the attitude I have met up with on occasion. In fact, I know many people who wake up to the world of “why bother”. They describe their lives as “ok”, “fine”, “all right”, but never really have the pizzazz for life, the enthusiasm.

I suspect a number of things. First of all, these people may actually be hurt. The disappointment in life has led them to lead a life that is like a stone wall. Talk to them, and rather than receiving you, they turn their back on you. This kind of person is asking for something, but may not know how to ask it. As a result, the problem spirals into a vortex of problems. Second, these people may be fearful. They aimed to achieve something before, but failed. As a result of poor personal programming, they lapsed into stonewalling so that they won’t have to face the reality of the possibility of success. After all, success seems so difficult, why should they do it? I figured that many people who are in this mode are afraid and therefore put up a front.

So how do we turn things around? Well, we don’t. People who are not bothered won’t be bothered by listening to you. Sometimes, you need to allow life to run its course, and let them realize that in spite of their skepticism, there are people getting hurt and succeeding in life anyway. That people in reality are facing up to fears and going out to achieve their dreams. No matter what, we all experience failure, we all make mistakes. I know I do. But the sad thing about “why bother” people is that they are going to hole themselves in and not wake up to the reality that they claim is so painful, without really experiencing its joys by truly participating in Life.

Let’s live Life to 100%, and play to win!
