Understanding. . .

It Starts To Become Clear

The Problem:

There were things that I have written about, that I wasn’t understanding. Some of these things, have started to become clear to me. Want to talk about some of things, that have started to seem understandable to me. There are however a few other problems that come with the understandings. Want to talk about those as well.

Instant Gratification

In today’s world, everything seems more instant than interesting. And people have the attention spans of goldfish! They all want instant gratification, and they want to get their kicks for free. There are some things that need to take time sometimes.

You don’t often suddenly become something you are not. That would be illogical. Most the time, things don’t work that way. Things like patience, or perseverance, or strength of character, they don’t happen over night. They only become and happen, after they have been put through the fire so to speak. Like metal, that is hardened, skills, and talents; don’t just appear out of nowhere, and come to having them.

For some people, those who have practiced; ideas seem to pop up out of nowhere, and come from some far away place into your mind. That only happens if you have practiced allowing the ideas to happen. Other things, like skill, and talent; must be developed. It takes time, and patience.

In today’s world, so many people; are in a rush. Not just a hurry, but an actual rush. They want the satisfaction of that, right now. And they are frustrated, because when it doesn’t happen when they think it should, (instantly) they get all bent out of shape. A lot of bad things have happened in the world, because someone wanted instant gratification.

People are addicted, to being distracted, and not thinking. Most people, have not taken the time, to learn how to think. And, they bounce from one thing to the next, like a monkey going from tree to tree.

It’s a problem. With peoples attention spans like they are, and the need for instant gratification, because they don’t remember their last hit, they speed up going from one thing to the next, always trying to go faster. And, they will crash; at some point if they have not developed the skills, and abilities along the way, to handle the things that will come up. The age of Instagram, or TicTok, have taken their tolls. And people want your eye balls, glued to that small screen, so they can get the kick of seeing your likes, and knowing someone saw them. And, they want it, right now.

That isn’t going to have good results for a lot of people. Think about it for a while. What would all these bored people do, with a month without internet or TV? They would be a mess.

Society

Seems to me, it has become clear. Most people, only really talk about religion, politics, money, food, and the weather. They don’t like ideas, or anything that is abstract. There is no room for ideas, that are not on TV, or in the bible.

Trying to talk with people about anything that isn’t the status quo for them, draws ire from them, in ways that cause everyone frustration. People, don’t read, or think. And, they have the attention spans of goldfish. Because of this problem with their need for instant gratification.

People want instant, and they don’t want to do the work, or put in the time or effort. They want it, and anyone that doesn’t match exactly what they are looking for, is turned away. Seems, people only care about what you can do for them, and aren’t interested in having real conversations or anything more than: “Hi”. They lack the fiber to do more than that. Because society has eroded, in ways that the entropy is going to be a problem for many. Some things will collapse.

Some Real Thoughts

Those are some serious problems. Questions that I have, is if I’ve lived this life before, and don’t remember what I did last time?. Only doing what seems best, and doing the best that I can. Don’t remember the last time I lived this life, so it feels like; I’m making it all up as I go along. If I knew exactly what I did last time, and still choose to be dumb, that would be a different story. That would be stupidity on an insane level. Truth be told, I don’t remember what I did last time. I know, that I want good results. Want to have quality of life.

Being self absorbed, is bad. With no friends, or family that will talk with me, the way I need to talk; is causing me to have problems with being self absorbed, and maybe a bit egocentric. Might have already started off pretty eccentric, but the levels that are being reached, may not be healthy. There is really no one to have a daily conversation with that helps me feel like I matter, that I’m wanted, and that they are real people. I’ve lost touch with other people to the point, that they don’t seem real. People don’t communicate right. They are glitchy. It is a problem.

It’s Not Insanity

Very often, there is a feeling present; that I have lived this life before. Somethings, feel familiar. They say:

Doing the same things over and over again, and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. — unknown

Truth be told, I don’t remember what I did last time.

I don’t know what I’m doing, and it feels like, I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Hopefully those things, can be fixed in post. What is true?

If going forward doing what I’m doing, is going to have good results, then I should continue doing what I’m doing. However, in the event, the results from what I’m doing are not going to be good, this is the last call to change the way things are. If this way doesn’t lead to good results, it has to change right now. Otherwise, if this way leads to good results; I’m going to the bare bones and balls forward. It isn’t that I want instant gratification, I want good results in the end. If this way, doesn’t lead to good results, then something has to change. Does anyone know what we’re getting with this?
