Thought

I think there’s always been something to numb our existence. This way just happens to be modern and an anomaly from the others in how much corporations are pushing it rather than it being our own free will to choose a suboptimal choice.

There’s the aspiration to touch what we care about everyday, but when do those touches become meaningless? If it’s a habit with no passion does it have any value? When is it okay to let that system go for 24 hours, a couple of days, a week, a month, even a year? Commitment and determination towards a goal is great and other people respect that, but when are you chained by the appearances you give off to others? When does their help on the road to those goals, that is influenced so heavily by how they perceive your ability to get there something you need? How many people actually need to believe in your goals for them to actually happen? If the work to keep up those appearances is such a sink and distraction to the goals themself when do you abandon them completely and for how long before public perception actually matters? Does anything really matter so long as you have the ability to live out the life you envisioned to keep yourself and your inner circle going? Am I thinking too deeply about this or does it really become this nuanced the higher your station becomes? I’m not sure.
