I Hate the Word Languishing

When something attracts attention, it sparks a bunch of dialogue. And i felt like a reaction to languishing was just over and over. But there were definite exceptions to this. I love the critique that austin cleon wrote. He said  it is ridiculous to expect that when the world is standing still, that i'm going to flourish. As a plant like you don't try to thrive in the dead of winter. You wait for spring. Even though i'm dormant right now, quiet things are happening inside me. That was the kind of dialogue that i wanted to start with languishing.And i think he was right. It's reasonable to say, world really is stagnating
