People who HATE the idea of community and family

[TheLightOfMyLife]

just a brief ramble/thought dump

Sometimes when I'm working jobs for people with no future like at a warehouse or amazon, I hear so many of the managers talking about how "nobody did anything for me, so I look down on you if people help you" or something along those lines, and I realize how badly I have messed up to be surrounded by people like this. My mother is very family oriented, I could probably leech off of her the rest of my life if I wanted to(but I would not because I feel obligated to reciprocate when possible/try to pull my own weight). That's just her nature, and I would think it is my nature too. If I had kids I would probably feel obligated to take care of them no matter what. The thought of how competitive, cutthroat, and downright hateful some people can be towards their own kind freaks me out. Not just because of how harmful that is to a person/how much harder it makes life, but because it prevents a lot of the self actualization one might develop when they actually have people who love and care for them. I fear how things could have ended up for me if not for the people I have who care. I'm grateful I had a family who actually loved me, even if I fucked up a lot and even if things were not optimized/perfect at times.

Heres what I learned on my last shroom trip:

The most important thing in life is physiological survival (Bare minimum money to survive).
Secondly is self love/self acceptance.
Thirdly are connections with others (typically your family, close friends or significant other)

Literally everything else you can think of doesn't come close. Not comfort, not sex, not being rich, not looksmaxxing etc. I think if you want to live a fulfilling life, those should be your priorities.

yeah, very legit. Having people close to you, people who care about you, it's everything. I need to be a better son.

Sex is not even that important. I would give up all the sex in the world just to have one special lady by my side. Even a completely asexual woman would be fine with me.

Well the significant other thing can get a bit tricky. Sex is ultimately a requirement for a romantic relationship to be satisfactory unless both of you are actually neurobiologically asexual.

Anyways, it's great you're coming to this conclusion now. Love on your parents as much as you can before they pass away man. You will be so thankful you did.

I love my mother and have begun to show this a lot more in recent years , I just think sometimes it is easy to take it for granted. hearing someone say things that seem so callous are a good reminder of how the world can really be I think
