The modes that make reality passable.
Our parents. Effective bastions of nurture. Even if they were not there do we disassemble ourselves for the meaning and it's effect. Thoughts of what you would have done differently and hopefully an eventual solidified respect for who they are/were and how they handled the situation that was/is upon them. Do we ever agree with what they have to say? With what they think? It seems almost intuitive to be the devils advocate with your parental forces at some level.
Now for my opinion on our generational gap.
We could talk at length about the vast variety of variables that divide generations, but there seems to be one that stands out to me. The battle for understanding. It seems at a certain point a generation is predisposed to believe that their grasp on reality is the correct one and they judge and continue to create their reality from that standpoint. Of course younger generations have not arrived at this point yet and continue to seek truth, for themselves. There are definite exceptions and that is what I plan to focus on. The more we can apprehend and question the thoughts of intellectual contentment (writing that made me very uncomfortable) and reorganize how we come to such a steadfast distinction on our own personal truth, the quicker we can reach each other. Eventually the quicker we will realize as a human race that this division created by massive amounts of unhealthy competition is destructive to our existence.
Which leads me to my viewpoint regarding my current state of contentment.
My respect has dwindled for my world, for my American culture. I have lived 10,361 days of my life in this vessel in this time and it's time for a very real cultural formatting and reinstallation.
I am only capable of so much in my current fixed reality.
This world I reside in has lost touch with me. I am a number with an exponential amount of studied regularity. This is old news.
The life I lead is becoming increasingly worthless and occasionally will bring me to tears. The lack of respect I receive from those with superficial power, no doubt given to them for their lack of self respect, saddens me.
The journey that large numbers of us take through superficiality. Effectively losing touch with our genuine representation but eventually (hopefully) realizing, through our failures, our true nature. A right of passage?
The creative forces that have developed the world as we know it, that have brought us progression and understanding, are being stifled in lieu of a more robotic method. The human element is disappearing.
Those who have lost their careers and way of life to a machine will have the unique opportunity to get in touch with themselves. They will have no choice but to activate their intrinsic curiosity and apply it creatively.
Those of you chasing pieces of intricately designed paper to trade for your never ending cyclical lifestyle.
To those of you who feel trapped inside of your reality with no sign of escape until your final departure from the vessel that holds you.
The true and utter disconnection reconnection. Disconnecting fully with my world as I know it. With social norms, with the variety of hierarchical needs decided upon by invisible forces. Disconnection with my developed self in search of a higher respect for my soul and body, for those around me, for love, for desire.
This is an exercise in understanding and in effect a search for truth, a search for god, a search for the real answers the universe holds for me. An exercise to receive a bit of a less cynical and cavalier view of our modern world. Trading these views for a bit of understanding of this indivisible remainder.
With all of this it may appear to you that I am currently unhappy. Nay! I am surprisingly content inside of myself. My day to day wears on me just like anyone else and I have found unlimited reasons to be happy (mostly through personal meditation). All of this discomfort I have spoken of is taking the person that I am and forcing it to make such a drastic change. I cannot continue to be happy and content with the reality I am living. This forced disconnection is the next natural step.
Although you find yourself surrounded by superficial conditions..the tears the come are symbolizing your inner truth expanding.. that kind of transformation is what many that have followed the same path of thought have struggled with. Luckily there is such ineffectiveness to compare to.. with it you find a watering hole for this transformation and something necessary to break free from. Without it your growth would be null, and evolution would be pointless. I love what you're saying about creative expansion in response to machines taking over occupations. It's an the Age of Enlightenment V 2.0 but we must be mindful not to fall into the same assuredness that you reference of our parents.. in that there are surely an infinite amount of versions to come.
