The thoughts and feelings that I relay here, while seemingly incompatible with the large scale goals of the ministers of currency, are not completely irrelevant to personal development within the greater republic.
Although my views may be at odds with the ends of our decidedly oligarchical authorities, there is still a point to be made about the importance of personal development within the individual.
<|eot_id|>
We must not allow ourselves to be reduced to impulse. There is a depth of human experience which is easily lost to our innate desire for approval and attention.
Specifically, social media targets these desires and reduces them to their most basic form. Driven by these forces, we now seek the like, the comment, the follower.
It is a profoundly desperate state in which we find ourselves, on a daily basis, sharing those aspects of our lives which will assuage the ego and provide us that dopamine rush with which we have begun to associate happiness.
It is difficult to wrap one’s head around the dangers of the promotion of such a system, but we are seeing it now play out in the political arena. People have become so dependent on the acceptance and approval of others that they will go to great lengths to validate their own neuroses, even at the expense of critical thinking.
But why would any individual, or more appropriately, corporation, invest so much money and effort into engineering such a regression of consciousness?
Control is the only reason.
Please bear this in mind with every like you collect today, with every engaging comment that you elicit, with each follower who has now subscribed to your outlet.

Do not allow the illusion of free will to dictate your decisions. The only person who can give meaning to your life is the one residing within your body.
Despite this, with the help of others, I am becoming the most authentic version of myself.
I value authenticity above all else, and until recently, I have felt that the expectations of others prevented me from living in this genuine state.
In the dissolution of this expectation, I have found a freedom from presumptive behavior that has allowed me to take many steps toward realizing the version of myself that I would like to become.
I have not forsaken the need to be, but in this small striving toward authenticity, I believe I will become more confident in my own ability. I believe that an increase in confidence of my social currency can only serve me well in my journey moving forward.
This is very controversial to my sensibilities, and I find it difficult to find the words to express myself at this time.
All that I know is that this motion toward equilibrium has awoken in me a deep desire to express myself in healthy and sympathetic ways.
<|eot_id|>
By achieving our greatest potential, as measured by our own metrics, we become more valuable to the greater society as a whole. It is the individual’s prerogative to become better for their own sake, but in so doing, we elevate the status of every other person with whom we connect.
Unification is not a luxury, it is not an ideal which should be borne as the standard for elevation of the human condition. Unity is a practical step which all sane beings should be capable of making without coercion.
Though men and women may disagree over the importance of this or that, in unity we could elevate the bond of our shared ancestry, as yet another link in the chain which will lead us to a complete existence. We must individually rise above the dregs of our conditioning for the betterment of humanity.
Every existent life form shares the similarity of cellular unity.
If only people could see the importance of subordinating their desires, despite the allure of capital growth, we could achieve the state of organism, an integral step in realizing the greater good of mankind.
Put simply, if we could escape the bonds of feudalism, then we could see clearly from eyes, set within heads, set upon shoulders, built upon a base of form serving function.
<|eot_id|>
If we could all only agree to take this step toward a state of being, perhaps the planet and animals and our understanding of the very fabric of space and time would follow.
Perhaps we could become greater than the sum of these parts and exist freely in union without such a contrived ideal as utopia.
<|eot_id|>
A piece of me still craves the attention of others, but as time passes, that piece becomes smaller. I dream of the day on which I will awaken to realize that I have never needed this prying, cloying, distinctively motherly recognition.
It is a shame that I have endured this long in life without addressing this issue. Resolution of such a vicious error of personality could only serve me well in future endeavors, and yet here it has been, festering inside the deepest recesses of my mind.
I owe it to myself to seek the cause of such an obsession.
I have an undying urge to control that which can be controlled, and my dependence upon this familiar approval can surely be overcome.
This is an issue which I find myself to be incapable of remotely observing and excising, and as such, I have employed outside assistance in pursuit of this goal. It is my hope that the guidance of an impartial escort will lead me to a realization which my chauvinistic mind is incapable of reaching on its own.
I must follow my intuition, fuck my feelings.
<|eot_id|>
I have never once felt an emotion which genuinely enhanced my condition.
I have many times felt a pull which was utilized as a means to manipulate. The circumstance in which I find myself is so utterly hopeless that passion could only serve to distress.
This pursuit of noble aim is a concept that has been lost on me for some time.
I have sought the superior place; I have sought the liquor of fools.
This confidence I have achieved is based on the assumption that what I do is right or somehow virtuous. I am struggling to learn that virtue is a fallacy of my own imagination. That which is so meaningful and worthy to my current point of view is downright destructive to the views of others.
By attributing value to the pursuit of a noble existence, I am granted ability rooted in kindness rather than perceived value to the self. If my actions are performed with gentle intent, perhaps they will be better received by the hivemind than those performed in self interest.
<|eot_id|>
I am now beginning to see that the superiority I have been seeking is an indulgence of the ego.
“If I could only make me right,” declares the selfish portion of my psyche. However, this rectitude is mired in controversy and would lower the development of my psyche to a level far removed from mastery.
I must seek my noble aim as a means to restore conscious impediment to my base desires.
<|eot_id|>
In this moment I have become aware that my fate may be mired in mediocrity. However, the illusion of greatness weighs heavy above the head in which my ego resides. I must conquer this desire to achieve, as a means to an end more illustrious than I could possibly imagine.
A true acceptance of the mean, coming from within, will bring me to the correct position once again. This posture is worth the sacrifice of my ambitions despite the disdain rendered by the self-absorbed domains of my psyche.
I currently possess every comfort for which a man could crave. It is my responsibility to accept this position and move forward with the work as the most central aspect of my mind.
I must want not, for in wanting I debase the most powerful desires of the self.
<|eot_id|>
Perhaps my assumptions have never been correct. Perhaps I hold within myself a worldview which is irreconcilable with the modern times.
I am willing to accept that my understanding of existent reality may be flawed at its most basic level. Through this willingness to embrace my own incompatibilities with others, I am delivered from the negative headspace inherent to enmity.
With eyes wide open, I see each person for the content of their character and not their judgments of the external. I see within, to the interpersonal struggles we all may wrestle in our daily lives.
This awareness brings me an empathy and understanding of the human condition that I would not otherwise be capable of espousing.
<|eot_id|>
Despite all extrinsic factors, we are in this together.
During times of difficulty one may find it beneficial to consult the oracle within.
This is not a pleasant process and stems from a basic need for connection with the beauty of creation, which may be inaccessible in one’s waking life. This journey should not be taken lightly, with heavy consideration given to timing, obligation, and possible psychic damage endured during its undertaking.
The desired outcome is a revitalization of the enthusiasm directed towards the path that one’s life may take. However, the caution required cannot be overstated, as such consultation may ignite myriad neuroses within.
<|eot_id|>
Under ideal circumstances, self-reflection alone may be enough to overcome any barriers to personal development. The oracle should only be utilized when the obstruction becomes insurmountable after much contemplation.
By adhering to a strict reluctance to bypass the mundane aspects of the work, one ensures success in surmounting the principle predicament of their query.
Wisdom is not granted by the oracle itself. Integration requires a careful study of the resulting attainments.
Have you allowed yourself to become the victim of your own desire to be accepted by people with which you perceive a common ground?
<|eot_id|>
Perhaps your perception has become distorted and you must work through this issue in a meaningful and solitary way.
Maybe you are enraptured by the allure of a lifestyle you have never lived, or more likely, it is carnal passion rearing its head in an otherwise hopeless time in your life.
We must realize that these sources of external approval and rushing endorphins do not represent a significant and meaningful development in the evolution of our psyche.
The approval we seek is unimportant, a physical validation that would be meaningless or perhaps even detrimental to the ongoing development of our inner self.
As I seek in others the changes I wish to make within myself, it becomes clear that the work of developing discipline in the face of temptation requires more effort.
<|eot_id|>
Is there a means by which I may be able to support and cherish these external sources while maintaining enough solidarity to do what must be done in my own life?
Perhaps by the mere acknowledgement of the query, I have already made some progress along the lines of distancing my inner self from such egoistic impulse.
More likely, the ego is attempting to hijack the efforts of the self to further its own unthinking agenda.
<|eot_id|>
Once again, I have allowed myself to become the victim of my own desire to be accepted by people with which I perceive a common ground. My perception may be distorted and it is important for me to work through this issue in a meaningful and solitary way.

More likely, the ego is attempting to hijack the efforts of the self to further its own unthinking agenda.
I am facing a crucial trial in my journey, and I have been this way before. I must now learn new methods by which to limit the influence of external factors on my own development without resorting to segregation.
This is the greatest trial that I have yet faced in my lifetime.
<|eot_id|>
Am I truly hopeless to carry this dream in my heart of meeting the one who would complete the pieces I’ve been putting together for the better part of my lifetime?
Is it wrong to believe that there is a relation that could carry my own sentiment and complement my worldview in times of darkness and light?
Is this the dragon that men like me chase into the grave?
Whatever the answer may be, you are sure to find out more about yourself in pursuit of this ideal. As such, I would not consider it a wasted effort despite any lack of lasting result. Without the knowledge of self granted by knowledge of others, you would be utterly incapable of making progress along the lines of your own convolution.
Pursuit of the idealized form awakens the idealized form within yourself.
<|eot_id|>
You must choose not to give this up for the simple comforts. You must seek meaning in a purpose greater than the release of earthly pleasures on demand.
You will find your place among the greatness within, so long as your appetites will allow.
<|eot_id|>
Sometimes we meet people that alter the course of our lives in ways that we could not foresee. It is difficult to remain dispassionate and distant from individuals who affect so much change in our psyche, but as time has progressed, I have learned that some of us must maintain that distance.
It is hardly beneficial to become wrapped up in the affairs of another, despite how deeply they may impact our sense of self. It serves us well to maintain some artificial boundaries as a means to eliminate the pain of loss should such an influence be taken away.
Developing the discipline of discerning the correct ratio of ego to apply to the perception of others is a long and arduous task, but only through its mastery can one begin to feel complete despite the chaos of outside influences.
Which is to say: I am not me, but we both benefit from interactions which are beneficial to our psyche.
