we are important solely to ourselves. each person we meet is also at the centre of this importance. they are I. no one else matters as much to them as they do. they have needs and wants, aches and pains and are also after that calm confidence that comes and goes.
we interact, pushing and pulling one another, trading energy, coming together and avoiding one another in collaborations of hope that we can push forward and succeed together. we share the same resources, the same lanes of transport and the same air and water. we yearn for similar lives, captivated with the musings of our neighbours or our colleagues. we gauge our activity not in some systematic measurements but from the individuals we closely associate ourselves with. from our classmates, our siblings and our competitors in fields of business we enter.
comparing our feelings from the day before, our drive from day to day is driven almost as much from a natural underlying instinct as it is from a cognitive survival mechanism brought up from society and situations we are grown up in.
rarely to we stop to ask the questions of why and where, but instead just accept the days activities and minds thoughts as something predestined and ordained. we cant stop, the mind does not calm. like the grumbling of a stomach yearning to be fed, our minds are always actively trying to consume the reality of a situation it cannot fully comprehend.
moments of content leading to more hunger as time progresses.
