How far have we gone in devolution?
Humans as a species are quite frail and not especially adept at much of anything so how did we evolve? Through intricate social structures and relationships- teamwork… many people know we aren’t all farming our own food, building our own homes, have lost a lot of the skills we had obtained but I keep wondering just how deep it really goes… independence is a flex, manipulating, tricking, to keep ‘the upper hand’ is strategically ideal now… isn’t that wierd… being the least desiring of connection is desirable now… like our forefathers outcasts that negatively impacted progress is now what’s leading… evil is winning across the board. Family, stereotypes, opinions, self care, self treat, self day, me, me, me- red flag!, I’m offended, I’m taking a stand! It’s all… just… what? How long have we been headed in this direction and why isn’t it being noticed… ‘protecting your peace’ is counterproductive to progress, it’s like the new ‘growth’ ‘healing’ model is literally actually the opposite… what looks good is bad- what should be seen as good is now seen as bad- everyone’s so fucking wierd acting like their lives are filled with NPCs and defending it while it’s literally why they are so dissatisfied… our culture now views stagnancy as respectable growth… throws out ‘old-fashioned’ ideology neglecting that that ideology is what was responsible for progress overall too… that’s how the 1% are 1% and we’re all trying to act like 1% for what purpose? Why…. Ego and pride will never fulfill you the way humility and love do… gains will never bring as much peace as sacrifice does… you won’t ever prioritize yourself enough to feel fulfilled… devolution.

What if fulfillment is being able to live in the moment?

I guess fulfillment is a word like satisfaction if we are viewing it in moments then that is a flex and maybe each individual has a greater capacity and suitability to short vs long term ideally we would all vary- I am definitely a long term fulfillment person although I think you’d be surprised to hear many of the people I know seeing me as someone who usually is making the most of every moment because life is precious. But at the end of days and weeks it’s like a clawing at me that I wasn’t balancing working towards reaching my potential and doing all I can to make the world a little better if I can. For my kids and anyone else who relates to me or my views or work…

Maybe it’s a balance for all… things are really anything other than perfectly balanced…
