Is Being Awake Doing Us More Harm Then Good!
Is Being Awake Doing Us More Harm Then Good!
Lately I've been questioning the whole "being awake" thing. For my entire life, well at least as long as I can remember I never really understood life. What is the purpose? Why are we here? Why do I have to go to school? How come everyone is so happy (or at least seems to be) with there shitty jobs? How come we work so much for nothing but a piece of paper?
As I look around I see that perhaps these people are somehow and for some reason better then me. They seem so content with spending all there time at work to buy a house to put things in. Then buy a new car so they can get to work so they can get more things to put in there house. It reminds me of something Geroge Carlin would say.
A few George Carlin quotes!
If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.
Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
So would it be better to just be asleep and be able to live like a zombie? Sometimes I really think so. Instead of thinking about my new sofa I'm going to buy or my trip I want to take next year, my work days are filled with why am I doing this? What's the fucking point? I hate working for a piece of paper!
I'm not lazy at all. In fact I have a lot of energy and I have no problems working extremely hard. Both physical and mental work I can pretty do for hours upon hours. I've always been a very hard worker. The problem is the monetary value associated with the work that I feel is the problem. Somebody decides what your energy is worth in a dollar amount and rewards your energy with a worthless piece of paper which you then trade for material items, disgusting GMO foods, antibiotic injected shit meats and not to mentioned give a large percentage back to pay for taxes.
I feel I would be way better off using my energy to farm land or build shelters for my family, village or tribe. Not for a piece of paper for better living for my family, villiage or tribe.
So with this thought process I find it hard to continue along awake beside my sheep like co-workers and the rest of society. I feel that if I somehow was dumbed down like the rest would I enjoy this adventure more? Would it be any better? It's hard to exactly say because once you become awake I'm sorry to say but you won't be turning back.
Money is supposed to be a tool for you to exchange goods/services you otherwise cannot produce yourself. Over time, we've specialized so much to the point that we can do nothing without money because we don't know how to do things.
There are more I can say about GMO and overuse of antibiotics, but that's beyond the scope of this comment.
What a great quote from Dalai Lama. I agree with you on the money thing. I'm sure it made things easier at the beginning. We are a terrible mess now though.
Just looking at this platform, the reason why there are so many abuses and exploits is because of money.
Nearly everyone wants a slice, at any cost.
There are many days I wish I could be concerned with brands, sports, plasma TVs, and gossip. I think I would be a lot happier. Unfortunately, I can't make myself a normie. There have always been people like us; sometimes we're vindicated only after death by people who would never agree with us in life. Sometimes we're regarded as mad and utterly ignored. Sometimes we start to change the world and get assassinated. Sometimes we become hermits and get a reputation as a "reclusive genius." I seem to be on the "mad and ignored" path.
well I have generally have been called crazy and delusional. frankly I am looking at that as a compliment in the highest regard.
you have a choice what to spend your slave tokens on - we try to avoid the really nasty stuff, and grow some of our own food too.
everyone gotta work, contribute, pay the bills - unless you live on a commune in which case you still gotta work and contribute..
i've recently gone back to working full time while being fully awake and i love it. i don't miss 'working' on social media to try and raise awareness, it was a constant battle and made me very poor.
hope this helps. peace.
Nah, don't be a zombie. In the end you will have tons and tons of stuff, and your life will be about all the stuff your kids donated and threw in the dumpster, and your kids will resent the time and effort of getting rid of your mountains of stuff, and you wont understand anymore what the big deal is, cuz your still concerned about your stuff and then you will become ash and either sit on the mantle or be tossed in the ocean. Make life meaningful around the working, work only to live, and never live just to work. Life is supposed to be about the journey and not the destination. Where did the world get so fucked up anyways, it used to be so simple.
haha your topic's quite funny! If you check out my most recent post and you go down to where I got the info from Joe Rogans podcast it literally explains how bad it is to not get enough sleep etc haha.
There are always sheep that leave the comfort of the farm. They usually get eaten not long after, but for those brief moments between being livestock & wild food they are free to graze, relax & contemplate if they made the right decision. It’s during these contemplative moments, when defenses are down, that they get eaten. There is no room for reflection in the wild, flow state or be food 🐑
oye tio porque no a puesto mas el concurso de beisbol de los picher
Wow this is something I think about often. I am at that point too where there is no turning back. We have a lot on common. It will be nice to discuss these things in person
Ignorance is bliss
