I read the article, and basically, what it seems to say is, it's a mystery.   I want to know why.   The article just says, "dunno."  

 

To me, Blackmon comes across as a man without a spine.  He doesn't seem to have any backbone.  No core.   No drive.  Just a bunch of jelly.   No willingness to engage in struggle.   Empty on the inside.  I don't think he could tell you why he's doing what he's doing, or more importantly, why he's not doing what he's not doing.  

 

From the time we're born we struggle.  Against rules, against our parents, against our school teachers, against fate.   We struggle for something.   Some people call it drive, motivation.  

 

I once met a guy who appeared to be mentally and physically capable, nothing appeared to be wrong with him, but apparently, he just preferred sitting in a little tiny apartment and living on some sort of welfare.   There was some mysterious ingredient missing in his inner being.   That's the way Justin Blackmon looks to me.  You read that article, for example, and there's nothing really wrong with the guy except he doesn't have much desire to better himself.
