Life is fucking crazy. Sometimes I struggle to get my daily writing started because I feel like whatever I write has to come to some eventual conclusion, and must have some sort of message or lesson to it. Why would that be the case though? Fuck it. I’ll just say what I have to say and that’s it. Life is fucking crazy. Seeing posts of young people struggling through illness, saying they finally understand what’s truly important in life. It reminds me of Terence McKenna’s experience when he was diagnosed with cancer. Why must we wait for tragedy to strike in order to realize what life is about, and to actually live according to what we believe? Greed and the pursuit of profit have created a world in which we are all simply trying to get ahead. We have no time to be free, we have no time to truly grow. Vincent Van Gogh wondered if he was too sensitive, or if life was just completely unbearable. If he felt like this back in his day, I wonder how he would feel today. Life and the world just keep getting crazier and crazier, and although there is a lot about life that I love, I feel like humanity as a whole is becoming more neurotic, and the possibilities for disaster are growing and growing by the second. We all have to work, and none of us are interested in what we do. We go through life in a constant struggle for survival, a battle against monotony, while we see all kinds of crap going viral every day. Garbage that serves no purpose at all, which is only created by people who are desperate for views and attention. Everything is polluted, and everything seems to be harmful to us. Maybe I’m just venting. I didn’t even feel like writing today, but my amazing wife convinced me to keep going, if for no other reason than to continue the project I originally started, of posting here every single day for as long as I’m able to. I have a headache since I’ve been dealing with sinus congestion the entire day. The worst part is that it seems to be a constant occurrence these days, and I suspect it may be linked to my acid reflux. I know this is not a major health issue like some other people are facing at any given moment, but it’s the only experience I can speak on. This post is not only about me though, because life really is crazy for everyone. We all think we can handle life and its cold uncertainty, but maybe we overestimate our abilities. I hope it’s not the case, but I have no idea. Maybe we are strong enough to handle whatever comes our way, but it seems to me like humanity is headed in a direction which can possibly lead to a lot of unforeseen challenges, some of which we may be totally unprepared to face. Technology is advancing faster than our wisdom and emotional intelligence. Anyway, again, life is crazy.
I appreciate you reading.
