Don't trust your eyes.

Or at least trust them last, never first. All that glitters is gold, oh my god so much gold




Isn’t sight the most flawed of all senses that humans rely on? It has to be. We are so content with what we see, we find it easy to judge what we see with the eyes, the other senses are parked. Satiating the experience that begins and ends as a treat for eyes is literally our pressing need.


As I am writing this I found myself wonder if it is our laziness which is natural because well (I will elaborate this in another occasion) we are undeniably entangled to our primitive and easily explainable hedonistic inclination. This tend make people want experiences that are not as sensory.


What are people going for though. Is thought - the ultimate gift of it all, the very reason we are so clever with ways we creatively go about seeking the hedonistic satisfaction - is thought really such an effort for people now.


We just need to see. Make it look like we are working, make it look like we are smart, use filters and look better, use technology to convince ourselves and others that it looks good.


How baffling is it that we still rely on sight and short attention spans to decide.


It is not a feeling oriented world that gets offended at the sight of something that triggers them. It is empty people, empty souls, empty clowns and freaks so desperate to fill their holes with something.


Most of the people have did another basal thing and formed tribes now based on the triggered and the tough skins (because that is what they want the former to grow). But it ain’t about tough skin. On one side - the triggered - want to be consumed and enraged by a remark which validates them and the other side - the tough skins - having got a raise out of the triggered feels validated too.


No I have not gone off topic yet, my points are -


Do you want to be someone or something or do you want to look like someone or something.


The first part of point 1 is hard, the second part is easy. You got to make it look like something even if it is nothing.


The packaging does a lot. Crazy lot.


It is not fake it, till you make it, it is fake it because everyone’s bloody faking it anyway.


Who knows which is not fake anymore? It all looks pretty good.


I am convincing myself that this is not as appalling as I am thinking or presenting it to be. People are going to be okay.


Just go at the world, at anything you want to, all you need is packaging.


If you stick to contents and packaging is not interesting to you, boy you are going to be so alone.


But holy cow, the way of the world.


A complete sensory experience probably beats orgasm in the future.


I see myself, therefore I am.


That’s how it is now. Self progress has to look 100 percent on instagram and wherever people paste themselves for validation but in reality, in actual action self progress can be nothing. You just got to look the part.


Saddest part is when you go about making everything else contained in this same system or the only system that you know. When you want to look like you read, you want to look like you write, you want to look like you speak, you want to look like you work, you want to look like a lover, you want to look like a friend, you want to look like you are winning.


You are all going to be desensitized to everything and you still would not know. Every effort you take and all the conditioning that has happened to you tells you that you need to know nothing, that you just need to cheat to get that pleasure of knowing.


Oh man I think I realize why I hated people who copy and plagiarize and what the hell is that steal like an artist book. Damn, people need to work, think and take some effort to figure shit out, learn things themselves.
