I wish I had a dollar for all the times I said I wished I were able to care less and now here it is, simple instructions for doing just that. Even if you don't intend to read the article or aren't interested, click on the clink to see the image on the post. It's priceless and if I were able to cop it for this post I would've in a heartbeat. Instead, here's an excerpt from the article...
The
point is, most of us struggle throughout our lives by giving too many
f--ks in situations where f--ks do not deserve to be given. We give a
f--k about the rude gas station attendant who gave us too many nickels.
We give a f--k when a show we liked was canceled on TV. We give a f--k
when our coworkers don’t bother asking us about our awesome weekend. We
give a f--k when it’s raining and we were supposed to go jogging in the
morning.
F--ks given everywhere. Strewn
about like seeds in mother-f--king spring time. And for what purpose?
For what reason? Convenience? Easy comforts? A pat on the f--king back
maybe?
This is the problem, my friend.
Because
when we give too many f--ks, when we choose to give a f--k about
everything, then we feel as though we are perpetually entitled to feel
comfortable and happy at all times, that’s when life f--ks us.
Indeed,
the ability to reserve our f--ks for only the most f--kworthy of
situations would surely make life a hell of a lot easier. Failure would
be less terrifying. Rejection less painful. Unpleasant necessities more
pleasant and the unsavory shit sandwiches
a little bit more savory. I mean, if we could only give a few less
f--ks, or a few more consciously-directed f--ks, then life would feel
pretty f--king easy.
What we don’t
realize is that there is a fine art of non-f--k-giving.
OK. I get it now. Thank you, Mark.
