People are disconnected from their own thoughts and feelings, reject them entirely, with zero empathy. “Life’s easier that way”. There is something very fundamental missing. I couldn’t imagine living with zero empathy or insight or emotions, or awareness of my emotions. Those are the things that make life worth living ime. Appreciate suffering for the experience, but don’t let it stand, get to the point and keep pushing. Evolution is a slow process, and I think we are a bit behind the times we’ve created for ourselves.
That’s a big part of what makes me feel so utterly disconnected these days. This utter and complete, not just indifference, but active disdain for empathy and insight in every fucking matter possible. Freedom dies when I’m not allowed to make somebody’s life worse for fun and/or profit. Also, anyone who considers another’s needs is an emotional snowflake but they’ve allowed themselves to be taught that rage, anger, and hate aren’t emotions? Way more “snowflake” IMO.
Well said. It’s really surreal, sad, and part of me thinks, if I’m allowed to get metaphysical for a moment, that there is some greater force at work tbh. Like an eternal dance of life and death creating existence itself like positive and negative on a battery. Perhaps when, if possible at all, one side wins out, there will be a singularity beyond my comprehension. A consciousness singularity, and I believe that is what we are striving for here, and will alow humans to climb to the next level of understanding, being, and ability…to live peaceful and beautiful lives. I am an idealist tbh. I find it hard to get real into the material world, and perhaps that is the larger picture of indoctrination taking shape within me, that life is suffering, no hope…but I refuse to quit, and will make any small progress, and appreciate experience itself, and the experience of my fellow humans, animals, and everything. I believe appreciation is what is lacking in the collective human phsyche. Education may even be able to tackle that, but I believe such a time is far in the future, and we are seeing echoes of it in our minds, of what to strive for as a person and as a small part of the whole. There is something opposing this future. I hate conflict. I avoid it altogether. This truth, I feel, is abused by lesser men than I. It feels weird to say lesser, but you know what I mean. Sorry for rambling, I was in the mood to wax poetic, as I’m prone to do. I’ve only really lately started getting into actual political theory and omg is it boring af, almost like I’ve been trained to be utterly disconnected and apathetic to our current situation, and hateful towards my own self.
