achievement, or the purpose thereof

We can do more. We all can. Ever watch an uplifting episode - whether well written or cheesy or anything in between - of a thoughtful television show? West Wing for instance, or any Sorkin-written script can have a little thoughtful insight. Something to make you stand up and think you can make a difference. And then the feeling fades and you work and play and waste more time doing absolutely nothing. Until of course the next thing you see or read or watch or hear. It's endless and it leads to nothing good or nothing really at all but nothingness. Is it just me?

That's oddly melodramatic. Still true though.
