From The Do It Yourself Issue
This has been one of the harder introductions for me to write. Mostly and
ironically due to my own laziness. Sure there are plenty of excuses, but
really there are never any excuses - only doing or not doing. But enough
of the Yoda stuff. What I really mean to say is welcome to the Do It Yourself
Issue...
This was really Spackle's (the Anthros Art Lackey) idea. I am more the
person of passion or apathy. Spackle however has the consistent feeling of
responsibility to the world - or at least the people around him. Part of this
responsibility is teaching those around him and encouraging them to greater
achievements (by showing them how to Do It Themselves, of course). And
if he isn't fulfilling his responsibility in some fashion or another he feels
guilty. So he gets the kudos for being the driving force behind this issue.
However, I feel the same way as Spackle sometimes. I think to some extent
everyone does. That desire to just to do something for anyone, especially
anything creative or synergistic, anything taught, anything that inspires or
shows someone how to achieve through himself. And if we don't feel such
a responsibly to other people or society as a whole, then at least we owe our
thoughts a life outside of our heads and dreams a place other than bed -
that is to say - learn how do to something ourselves. To learn to stop living
vicariously and soft spokenly, to put ourselves to action.
So this issue is about that whole Doing It (what It may be) Yourself. 'Cause
you can't really rely on anyone except yourself to accomplish you goals,
can you?
