Independence, differences and a plateau.
These past few days have been complete disaster as far as my plans are concerned, and to some extent have not been very fruitful to my reading as well. In a way, it has been somewhat a plateau but perhaps it has given me some time to reflect back on a few things.
One of the most important things to come to light was this, there is always something that you are suppressing just because you don't think that you have the time. For example, I waste a lot of time on my phone and then later on, I like to blame it on something else, such as the weather or maybe even that I'm not just feeling good. With this, I would not give enough time to reading nor my studies, and in the end I would feel being pushed against the wall, fatigued and mentally drained, and all the while I refused giving time to what was really simply knocking on the door for me. This is the worst thing of all, simply saying that there's just not the time for this, but to put things into perspective there's always time, just that we don't realize.
There are people you don't get along with, whether be it ideology or simply stupidity, just for a second think this through, what does this person have to offer me? Most honestly, the answer is nothing. See, apart from making you understand that you have to cut people out of your life just cause they simply aren't the company you need is, they don't have anything to offer. And retrospectively, you will find a lot of people who just do that, so it's good that you simply stop having them onboard at all.
John Kaag in his book, Hiking with Nietzsche mentions one really beautiful statement. "It's no coincidence that parents celebrate their child's first steps- the first, and perhaps the greatest, signs of independence. This is important, the first sign of independence is being able to walk on your own, the ability to carry your own weight. Building on this I would like to add that this is something that is cherished simply in that time frame only. Instead people should be taught to value independence, it's not about being cooking or washing your clothes, independence is sustaining your mental health and leaving a good impact on the society. When you talk to people you realize that a lot of them live in a bubble, a world from where there's no window to reality, and when you debate something with them it merely feels like talking to a wall. Refer to the third paragraph, these are the sort of people you don't need in life, but nonetheless they give you an invaluable advice, "don't give them your time and energy"
Being alone is a gift, we aren't taught to appreciate it, and a lot of time we run after company and simply fail to understand that you just need time for yourself. I refrain from making comments on religion and am trying to limit myself from political observations as well, the idea behind it quite simple and comes after reading the Mark Manson book, the subtle art of not giving a fuck. And that is, just how many fucks can you give about everything.
Reading about Nietzsche is interesting, it stimulates the mind and focuses on the yielding effects of suffering, in a way suffering is indeed beautiful because it gives you the energy to develop yourself and your abilities. Suffering comes in various shapes and forms, the most critical is not physical but the mental one. It helps to develop your mindset, the feeling of being let down not only provides you with a stimulus but also shines light on being independent and self improvement. However, it is not the easiest route to be on.
