I am convinced and been telling some of my close friends, “Forget about money, status, fame, creativity, everything. For our generation, it will be a miracle to be sane when are are 60.”
There is so much external pressure and the world is changing so fast, most of us prefer to bury our heads in the sand, which opens us up for leveraged rigging.
We are also making ourselves more numb than conscious.
Pleasure and hedonism instead of connection, contentment and love.
We have also reached a stage where we want to be able to work numb, have pleasure while working, and we think that is our right. That is such a load of bullshit. There is work and there is pleasure, separate from each other.
