I shot that before I was 18, im just too stubborn to stop trying.

I think being an adult is basically refusing to accept that the worldview you've cultivated since being a teenager is less about facts and more about making it okay to live the life you want to live.
|
I struggle with balancing living life the way I want to live and living life in a way that I think is right.. The latter always wins except in cases where there isnt a conflict. I tend to do what I believe is right even if it hurts me. Id like to believe I do it in a way thats more practical and less cutting off your nose to spite your face, but im bias.

Hey if the human race lived in a way that was inline with ethics and not expediency and presumed pragmatism then we wouldn't be here.

I'm okay with that. Our species as a whole disgusts me.

Our species doesn't disgust me except in doses. There are cases that offend me, but those are honestly irrational. Morality evolved to facilitate humans living in groups and to lose faith in humanity because of that morality is irrational. The only rational response to human morality is to use it increase human survivability, and when the human race falls short of that morality as a whole then it's rather funny to me. We've given ourselves a catch 22.
We can never live up to our own impossible standards that exist only to perpetuate our species, and yet when we on occasion do live up to those standards it's either because through struggle we've finally managed to reach standards low enough that we can't help but not fail them or because those standards were never high enough in the first place. And yet it's dumb simply to strive for those standards because we made them up and they don't mean anything beyond being goalposts for the sake of being goalposts. |
