D.o.W getting all existential an sh i t. You guys really should read The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F u ck. You are wired to be unhappy with what you have, long for what you do not have, and look back on what you used to have with rose colored glasses. It’s the evolutionary f u ck you that keeps us rodents spinning the wheel.
I’ll try not to think so hard next time to satisfy the linear thinkers on this forum, GOAB. As for the book, I like it already. Reading a book like that, it allows you a sharp and clinical clarity that you experience only when reading the book (“Yes, yes, of course that’s right…I’ve been doing it all wrong and I can see that now…”), only to put the book down and later revert to doing the same s#!t you were doing before you read the book. But at least you had that moment of clarity.
As long as you realize that there is a choice, you just choose to continue on with life the way it is. Perhaps that is best, a man is meant to make his own decisions and thereby define his own existence. However, the way you whinge about your current state of affairs It sounds like you are chained to the wheel or “floating with the tide”, see Hunter S. Thompson letter to Hume Logan (has been mentioned here before I believe). If that is the case and you are indeed unhappy you may wish to consider a course of action that would lead to a different outcome (which may inevitably prove just as dissatisfying). But maybe you just long for simpler times and that is fine just the same. Have a beer and enjoy the company.
Thanks, buddy, but I think you may be reading way too much into my situation. I require no psychoanalytical advice; I am merely philosophical about a way of life that I know I’m not alone in having these feelings about.
I’m going to give you guys a little advice. There’s a force in the universe that makes things happen. All you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.
