when i found out what the world is really like and i unplugged, it put an end to the importance of what this society tells people how to act, think, and behave. the majority of the people do not know who controls all of todays society and world and the learned behaviors that come with it. when one has unplugged from this world and its expectations, then a person can be at peace. especially given the fact that society right now is a mess. so why would i want to do what society says when it is in the condition it is in.
At 54 I've only now sorted contentment. Never married or have kids. Battled mental illness for 30 years. I still cop other peoples opinion and treat it like water off a ducks BACK. Just want to have a good life, with the time I've got left....aka No time for BS ! Cheers huMAN. Love ya Volgs !!!
One cannot discover what one wants without a powerful risk of loss and failure. We are not born knowing what we want let alone what we need and certainly not who we are. All of this understanding comes from experience and mistakes, finally leading to some clarity and direction. Culture and parents rubber stamp generic set of expectations up on us- usually not values our parents hold but rather those they wish we did- and society tell us what is good for the purpose of keeping us useful to the state. None of this is useful unless we also happen to be ultra generic and naturally conformist. This is almost certainly not the case. In a world that changes fast it won’t be the case for long. The road is rocky. One must learn to love the bumps.
