I don't know if this is a weakness or what. In life you meet lots of characters. Today's meeting another character is proof to me that I value a sense of belonging and togetherness. Two or more in my name, and any delusion I give permission to decide my reality becomes truth.
I don't align with the views of my generation that assert extra curricular activities, products, travel, food, and company can replace a life purpose. The answer to what are you going to do with your life. But today's experience shows me I'm attracted to people that give a sense of belonging. How that's given is simple. Give space for people to state their views, demonstrate a lack of defensive body language, and talk from a state of comfort and stability with people. Doesn't mean be a yes man; it means be comfortable with yourself, and talk and listen openly. In spite of this character engrossed in the newness of travel and foreign food, talking to her gave me a sense of the potential enjoyment of living a nomadic lifestyle. She seems to predetermine this travelling to be her purpose in life, and the positive experiences associated is first priority. But mind you, she also is into fashion, buying stuff, spending her money on travel, and overall very dedicated to her relationships. A polar opposite of what I am, that isn't so active in pursuing relationships.
The way you spend money is telltale for what you are. What she reveals is a person placing relationships and travel at the forefront of her life. I might be a bit old fashioned considering the integrity lurking within such a lifestyle, but I'm not against her way of life. I'm not antagonistic towards people my age or younger, my attraction is kind of proof of that. I have free choice, why can't I choose the most profound and life giving lifestyle founded on a life purpose that includes everyone? Changing the world in practice will take alot of money because distributing products takes alot of money. It won't fill itself, the longer it takes the more consequence has to occur until everyone gets the point. I don't see why not be one of those people with a little preparation for the future of humanity that acts in the interest of a viable future for humanity, be an example of the future mindset of a future humanity.
I see how this desire to belong can be manipulated. It's me manipulating myself to where I'm not equal to the reality functioning. I can easily see how this want for a sense of belonging stunt my ability to be sparing. Relationships or life? Belonging or life?
