Thought 7 - Milton Lim October 27th

My name is Milton Lim and this is my seventh thought residency dedicated to the wandering minds. During my undergraduate psychology classes, like many other students, my friend Mateusz and I would have a ritual of cramming, sometimes hours before our exams. It always seemed like he was worse off than I was, but maybe that' s just my hindsight bias. One of the days in desperation, I said "why are we so lazy?!" and he remarked, "HEY, it takes EFFORT to be this lazy." I wouldn't choose those words, but I like that empty space was framed as a conscious decision, similar to meditation but without taking itself seriously. I like to think that he knew the necessity of carving out room to be inspired, for his creativity and his passions. Or we were just lazy.
