RE: Sometimes it takes a crisis to reveal the truth

in #life8 years ago

Instead of 4 years in a liberal arts major, wasting your life with useless trivia (and soul destructive programming), we as a society should have courses on finding yourself and finding your passion.

I have watched many a party girl (and boy) go to clubs every night, dance their lives away. Yes, they love the physical excitement, but come 10 years later they are all empty shells trying to find anything to get them high like they used to be.

They didn't find their passion. Passion builds you up, makes you more. Sensual pleasure for sake of sensual pleasure makes you numb and dilutes your presence.

We have nothing about finding your passion. Yes, there are millions of self help books on the subject, but none of them really help. And we do worse by the "common" knowledge that all good people get a good j.o.b. (just over broke), and that they should choose a path for the rest of their lives after spending only a couple of years as an adult. (no pressure there).

We need something like immersion classes. Where you can try out a direction for a month and see if it is where you want to go.
Thank goodness for ThouTube, however, their search functionality is seriously (and specifically) limited. You never find what you are really looking for except by clicking around and getting lucky. It is all so sad.

I hope it will be better in the future.


ps There are tribes of aboriginals who perform sacred rituals like this, just for this kind of clarity. Like what is shown in _A Man Called Horse_ .

Great points.

Sensual pleasure for sake of sensual pleasure makes you numb and dilutes your presence.

Yes and too much of it means you don't even feel it any more.

We have nothing about finding your passion.

Agreed.

I hope it will be better in the future.

Yes hopefully it will.

Like what is shown in A Man Called Horse .

Great movie. Yes in aboriginal and more "primitive" cultures they understand a lot of the things that we have lost in modernity.

Thank you for a fantastic response:)
