FAIL TO RECKON: SERIOUSNESS

FAILED TO RECKON: SERIOUSNESS
Every where was silent, cool and all I could hear is my heartbeat in the room. All alone but cool breeze lasing silently offering the medicine of sleep but in the city street people of different variance walking, pushing themselves, pairing themselves while some jumping, jubilating, dancing, singing, clapping and giggling under artificial moon light of different colours they are not "called to bar" but they are celebrating at the bar. During this fateful dusk when the clock clique 10, suddenly a message pops up on WhatsApp saying our lecturer has given us an assignment that should be submitted the following dawn which is 8am oh! Now I can imagine students at club picking race those sleeping waking up to work but some students like me procrastinating it till morning saying " after all I should make it to school tomorrow morning by 6am and before 7:30am I will be through devouring the questions or why should I disturb myself just because of 10 questions ".
People with different attitudes to their life, purpose and future but the following morning it was a surprise that some people actually miss the submission this prompt question in me which is " how come? I think everyone of us is aware of this ?" Because we already have the information 24 hours before it was given, that the assignment would be given to us and this brought just one word to me which is "seriousness" though it is good to be serious and discipline but then I realised that seriousness is in two perspective which is the physical  ones attitude and discipline to situations and circumstance also the psychological perspective which is the discipline of the mind to control oneself and to be able to force the physical nature to response immediately when respond is needed. But before I proceed let's see what seriousness is and what it does in the following.
According to Wikipedia "seriousness is an attitude of gravity, solemnity, persistence and earnest towards something considered to be of importance. Some notable philosophers and commenters have criticised excessive seriousness, while others have praised it. Seriousness is often contrasted with comedy as in the serious comedy in the theory of humour and a sense of seriousness to distinguish what is suppose to be taken literally or not, or of being important or not...". According to the above statement, it is the attitude of gravity that is, before someone can be serious he/she must know the level or gravity of what is on ground let's imagine a man who his daughter collapse and fainted and the man keep laughing, smiling saying I pity you if your mother suddenly come in you will be in trouble for sleeping on the floor. Oh! Oh! you are also thinking his psychological imbalance is under the influence of drugs ,no it is just that he is not aware of the gravity of the ground. Seriousness takes over when we try to figure the negative and positive impact of situations or how can we abandon our assignment for self pleasure if not that we have failed to realise why we are in school and what education is to us . Also, it is persistence and earnestness towards something to be of importance , how are we viewing what is before us , do we see it as something that needs urgent attention seriousness as to do it with our reasoning faculty even a mad man is always serious with its own display and values it earnestly. Seriousness when used in it right manner is one of the keys to success.
The English dictionary is of view that seriousness is the state or quality of being serious. I.e not taking things with levity. It is that which can help us achieve beyond our dream : how do we perceive it, and what attitude or how do we respond to it.
I would like to end on this note " Anything worth doing is worth doing well".
