Who would have thought...
Yes, but then why do we strive so hard for ideals? The best college, the best job, the best parents, and trivially the best things. Everything has to be perfect because I want it to be or have decided so. And did I decide that, did I really want that? Or is it a good job of marketing for a couple of decades? Either way, the feeling that everything around me must be better never leaves. And striving to change the world only leads to problems and dead ends, from which you again have to find a way out. The perfect way out.
There isn't one.
There is no ideal, no perfect way out. Everything you need is already here. All perfect things have flaws that add a cherry on top of those things. My favorite t-shirt is weird, my coolest thought is crazy, my truest love is unrequited (actually there were two 😅) To me, THIS stuff is perfect. Perfect for real!
The constant lack of time, money, energy sometimes makes me stop and think about those things that are really important at the moment. After all, you don't know what tomorrow will bring. Is it so important right now to sacrifice a few hours watching a soap opera instead of a half hour of meditation? Is it so important to have that pretty cuff link to look the way you are expected to look? Is it so important to work 12 hours for money, so you can retire sooner?
I don't know.
Everyone has their own answers to these questions. Everyone has their own ideal world, as long as it doesn't overlap with the other ideal person's ideal world. But the trick is that everything in that world was made perfect. The food chain is lined up perfectly, nature behaves exactly as it should. Even man behaves according to absolutely perfect laws. No one knows where this will lead. But that's what writers, artists, and musicians are always pondering. And they have even more questions than I have in this post. Isn't that a sign of proper development?
No.
Sure, lots of questions every day to this world and individuals right now. I wish I could avoid a thousand unnecessary losses and not have to worry about myself and my loved ones every day. About gas, oil, food... The people who created these things never wanted them to be used the way they are being used now. Many of these people wanted to destroy their creations, but it was too late. Yes, and someone else would have done it anyway, but a little later. The bottom line is that we are going the way we should. No, we can swerve, we can stop, we can delay the inevitable, we can skip some parts, but we are going the right way.
Now all that is left is to decide for ourselves what is really important for each of us. And maybe then we will gradually come to the same conclusion, and all that is left is to take action. Find ways to keep this land, to give everyone abundance, to learn to live without states standing over us with a whip. States, corporations, other entities performing these "duties."
Utopia?
Yes, maybe! Digital money, cryptocurrency, was also a utopia not so long ago. For many people, it is still a utopia. But every year more and more people start to believe in this utopia. I have great hopes for this perfect utopia. Perhaps this is how a miracle happens. This is probably how geniuses like Steve Jobs are born. Crazy dreamer, one-button phone, half the world in your left pants pocket...
The world is perfect, if you think about it...
