Taoism

On that subject of Taoism which I predictably abandoned, I have a few words. I find it extremely difficult to stop thinking. Relaxation has become increasingly difficult as time goes on. Even as I wish for the ability to find peace, I desire still to achieve the discipline to maintain focus constantly and not procrastinate on things until I have to struggle to complete them. For this reason, and my desire to be physically fit, as well as to know how to tie knots, I'm thinking about joining the military. Another attractive factor is my rank of Eagle Scout, which will automatically win me a higher rank and higher pay in the military simply because I am an Eagle Scout. I also think that the military will drill some respect into me and make it easier for me to work on a team. This, combined with the leadership opportunities and training the military would give me, makes military academy a very attractive school option. I also understand that there is a war going on, which makes attending a military academy a difficult proposition to swallow. I just hope that if I choose that option military action in the Middle East will have died down in five or six years.
