Most of us interpret the phrase - The mind is willing but the flesh is weak - as an expression of innocuous weakness - something that is purely temporary, something like writer's block, or the loss of appetite. I disagree. As a disciple of modernism, I feel that the phrase is an expression of an evil rusting....oh yes, an evil decay that cannot be reversed. Why? Because lost time does not come back.
If your mind is willing, but the flesh is weak, you have lost focus my friend !
And focus once lost is lost for good. Even if it means the loss of that one moment, a moment that you could have channelized better and achieved something, miniscule nonetheless. That one moment, is a moment of great triumph for someone across the world. That one moment, is surely going to go down in history as a moment to be remembered...by someone across the world. No moment is worthless, and yes, conversely, every moment is priceless. Modernism's little lesson.
The world is yours, to you belongs this vast and boundless sky...only if you respect every moment of your life for the sheer pricelessness it carries with it, and only if you use that priceless nature to do something better for yourself. Live for the moment? No way! I say, live the moment!
May every moment of your life be a defining one, a revolutionary one.....a modern one.
