Annie – I'm feeling like you DO know me!

You raise another area of thought – or the same area but another perspective of it – i was not considering (before).

That of Efficiency.

How much do we or should we use of our ability?

At first that might seem like a dumb question and many would say we always or should always 'give' 100%

2 things there. 1. there is no such thing as a 100% efficient machine – even a simple lever loses efficiency. If this was not the case man could have invented perpetual motion and we would have 'free energy' from a source that never runs out.
2. Watching Tennis matches i have heard it mentioned that to win a tournament you don't need to play your best every match, you only have to play better than your current opponent. So a Roger Federer or Serena Wiliams does not have to play at their best to win every game; if they play one of us for example they would not hit their best winners every time but would play as if they were in a training warm up -and would still win ( i am assuming like me you never made any final of a junior tennis world championships in your tennis career?)

Still even if we cant or don't have to be always 100% efficient ( true to our initial potential) is 3% a 'reasonable effort' on the majority's part??

Is 10%? 30%? 50 %? How much could any of us actually DO 'better'? How much of an effort would it actually take to double our 'efficiency'?

What would the world be like if we all doubled it from 3 to 6 %?

What if there was a fairly simple way for us to 'free ourselves' from all the stress, worry, deceit, ignorance and general BS we have put up with in our lives and could then become 60% efficient, perhaps as much as 20 times what we have at present???

That's something worth thinking a little more about i reckon.

On another point you raised… i am very sure God has built a lot of 'waste' into the system. If every seed produced by every plant grew into maturity we would need the entire galaxy of stars and planets to provide enough land area to support it and where the water would come from to service that life i cannot guess. Still i am quite sure God makes EVERYTHING to serve a purpose and nothing ever 'goes to waste completely but is used in 'other' ways than we might see.

I don't see Him being pleased with a family of kids that lets the gifts he gave them, that hold SUCH great promise (we believe we are made in HIS image, male and female, right?) gradually being forgotten and let go to disappear into unusefulness for us – and for Him.

Would you be happy to see the kid you raised and gave every opportunity use only 3% of it, slacking off and on the whole being miserable as a result?
