On the context of attainment: its eluding structure fools us. Attainment itself leaves as quickly as it comes once we realize we have it. The trick is not to realize we have it. The trick is to bask in its gifts and let go once it slivers away. #meditation
One of my favorite things in this day and age is the fact that media conglomerates have to go against small independent creators for the attention they once had total control over.
@Fw_street I agree, and that’s the part that I don’t like! I don’t want to tolerate and be complacent to the fact that I have to pay bills. I want to rebel against it! But weed says nah chill lol
@Izteller@readswithravi I agree. Fine line between ignoring your mood and ignoring the evidence that your plan is ASS. Fine tune as you go along. It doesn’t feel good? Revisit the plan, coordinate, etc..
Pursue your passion until your passion creates a more interesting problem worth solving. Nevertheless, do what you want to do right now. Not what you wanted to do yesterday.
Do you want to continue high school? Do you want to begin an apprenticeship? I understand that a complete and detailed overhaul is needed to get here, but I’m sure that more freedom at an earlier age than 18 is the correct path forward.
My room became a safe space where they would vent their frustrations against this expectation. As they would discuss what actions got them in trouble, I started finding myself siding with them. After a certain age, young people should be given the freedom to choose.
@Minaskates@QuoteJung I try to refrain from telling someone what they might need to change, especially if they haven’t asked for my advice. You might take away the only thing that was keeping them afloat, and I wouldn’t want to live with that in my consciousness. Agency is key.
@DimitriVallein Right on the money. Just think of how SpaceX got to where it is today. No one believed at first, probably many quit on the way, but eventually that shared hallucination became a real reusable HUGE rocket.
However, mainstream media, traditional schooling/parenting, and a plethora of other ideologies continue to try to hold us hostage to whatever they want.
I think that more and more people are becoming anxious because it has become evident that compliance and accepting old societal structures aren’t the best way to live.
