[written during a family law unit meeting]

Staying awake must be the goal. Vibrance and vivacity will be the emotions of the day. Despite just a few hours of sleep, we must continue to consciously participate in the world around us. And do so in such a way that our attitude is positive and outgoing. The day is young. Live life to the fullest: every day and every minute of every day. It is important to continue smiling in order to set the ideal example of positivity and vibrance. By writing these thoughts and sentiments down on paper, I can outwardly appear to be engaging myself, while inwardly continuing to utilize my mental capacity. The funniest part of this whole charade is that observers will wonder and ponder what I could possibly be writing. Actually, more likely than not, no one gives a shit. Apathy and social disengagement are wonderful qualities of a personality. If only these qualities could be developed in every person throughout the whole world at the same exact instant. What could then possibly become of the world? Would each human eventually wither away in utter ignorance? And if in fact it did happen, would the world be (at least perceptually) a much better place? If everyone just didn't give a shit. And for that one poor soul observing this worldwide spontaneous mental/emotional stultification, would the event be seen as a complete tragedy or the ultimate comedy? My prediction is that that person would laugh their ass off to the point of choking, and then quickly find a way to commit suicide.
