Adequacy is perhaps subjective, but at the moment I can't quite help but feel kinda inadequate. I guess it's the kind of feeling one gets when one encounters external sights/phenomenon that reminds one of his humanity and smallness. Like when one watches one of those documentaries which sadistically portray a person trying to escape from an erupting volcano perhaps.
Such reminders are no doubt harsh ones; they do great damage to one's esteem and pride. However, I guess it's good to have something remind oneself that one is not alone in this competitive environment. Perhaps I'm influenced by what I've been reading, (the 'who moved my cheese' book), but I thought that book actually made some sense. If we don't notice how our surroundings is changing all the time, we are going to get phrased out sooner or later. I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly wouldn't want to wake up one day and find all my cheese gone.
So yup, call me a go-getter of some sort but I guess it's better to be conscious of the surroundings and actively attempt to better oneself than to be informed of what's going on, but passively remain in a deceptive state that nothing has changed.
Sighs, what a depressing day.
