Repose

re·pose

1[ri-pohz] noun, verb, re·posed, re·pos·ing.
noun
1.
the state of reposing or being at rest; rest; sleep.  (from www.dictionary.com)

I think this approach to life is used by many.  They are in a nearly constant state of being asleep.  They don't notice what's going on.  It's not that they bring their preconceived notions to reality.  They have few, if any notions, preconceived or not.  Rather, They prefer to sleep through life, avoiding as much of the pain as they can.  Or perhaps they just want to avoid it all.  "What a drag!" seems to be their mantra.

Of course, it catches up at some point, whether they are conscious of it or not.  (Not conscious:  stepping in front of a speeding truck and being killed on the spot!)

What about you?  What do you think about the "repose" approach to life?  Share your thoughts with us, please.
