It seems that we are always in motion, whether we will it so, or are even aware of our movement. If we are consciously oriented to self-improvement, then we track and measure, as alert, ambitious loners, our progress over time. Then, we are not only aware of our movement, but demand and extract it from ourselves by self-application and willed hard work. We are ascending, growing better, more loving, more skilled, more artistic, etc.
Where we are nonindividuators, group-oriented slugs, lazy and without ambition, we are below what we were ten years ago, poorer and shabbier than we were at 18. We will not decline much below this average mediocrity of existence, but will muddle through being nothing, hoping for nothing, living without dreams to be chased after, until we take our last breath.
