I’ve been afraid of standing up and facing ideas head on
Their great number overwhelms me
The drift is a choice
and I’ve been a spaceman for some time now
It takes strength to stand up
To be forthright
To tell the truth
But these are the things necessary to make the world honest and good
Enlightenment – the ability to function independently and assertively, to know in the truest sense i.e. to apply one’s knowledge practically, drawing upon the authority of that knowledge amidst one’s action upon it
The choice to stand up under the weight of things provides responsibility and meaning
geez all of the things I start to learn turn into Jordan Peterson lectures
so many ideas
It’s been wild to me that people can simply pick one or two and go with it
But what appears to be willful ignorance
Perhaps is a sign of maturation
Life owes no thing to any creature
I’m understanding in a realer sense every day what the key is to conquering excessive neuroticism and nihilism
I should stop being a weakling
I have lacked forthrightness in my life
And the result has been an overwhelming feeling of isolation
And that needs to change
I need to make some choices
