Spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm.

-- John Muir

[philosophybits]

The world is much too serious, but seriousness is nevertheless a rather rare phenomenon. Seriousness is the opposite of play. It has a particular purpose, the most important of all possible purposes; it is incapable of trifling or of deceiving itself; it pursues its aims tirelessly until it has achieved them. For this it needs energy, a mental power of absolutely unlimited extension and intensity. If there's no absolute height and breadth for man, then the word greatness is superfluous in the moral sense. Seriousness is greatness in action. Great is what simultaneously possesses enthusiasm and genius, what is both divine and complete. Complete is what is at the same time natural and artificial. Divine is what wells up out of love into pure eternal being and becoming, what is higher than any poetry and philosophy. There is a kind of serene divinity that lacks the crushing power of the hero and the creative activity of the artist. Whatever is simultaneously divine, complete, and great is perfect.

Friedrich Schlegel, Athenaeum Fragments

mint oh no

a corny interpretation of Minto from Shining Force: Final Conflict, who does not ever actually do this in the game, but does engage in gratuitous tail-wagging when casting magic attacks which is similarly difficult to take seriously.

[thepersonalwords]

Drinking caffeinated drinks including high potency energy drinks, and consuming other enablers, we do not need to develop an internal source for the energy, effort, endurance, and enthusiasm needed to confront each day.
