im in a very similar mindset, seems extremely rational to me, though you are better than putting these things into words than me,,, they just brew and boil and toil in my head.. .
i think ultimately also, everything can be clearer if you accept it at this face value… no frills sort of thing, so in relating this to OP, i intend to only work enough to feed my musical enlightenment, and also my travels..
You’re doing loads better than I did at your age (old man line or what ;D ), I never thought things like this. I thought alot, but nothing really conclusive.
I understand what you mean, you have to accept it. That’s also kind of the worst part, although the only real option (Bar brain washing). It makes me feel bitter, though, and whever I take any action involving another person, that feels selfless at the time, it only takes 20 seconds of thought to realise why I want X to happen.
Selfishness has always been something that has been frowned upon by humans. However this is selfish in itself. The only reason why selfishness is bad, is because THEY want whatever it is you aren’t sharing. Whether it be help/money/information/knowledge. Albeit this may be subconscious. This actually makes it difficult for others to accept what we’re talking about.
This has been drilled into me so much, it makes me feel ashamed to be human, almost, even though it’s part of our evolutionary design.
I have read and thought about your posts on my other threads by the way, although I often loose focus pretty quickly after posting one of those threads 😀 You are always pretty dead on!
Ever think that ignorance is bliss?
