I just realized, we pride ourselves on being 'social' animals but in fact that is the saddest part of our lives. It is the actual barrier to anything we ever thought of. Recognition, self esteem, social acceptance, even our most sought after dreams and ambitions, all a curse because we are social. Everything, every single thing we ever have done and ever will do will be judged by at least one other person. And if what we do is in secret, we will judge ourselves for all those people who don't have the privilege of a VIP seat.
Which also explains why we suck at keeping secrets, why we like to appear smart and well liked with a lot of friends, or even find pleasure in being called a geek. Even the lone scientist in Antarctica researching footprints of penguins, the sceptics optimistic about crop circles, mermaids and aliens, and the strongly opinionated feminists, Marxists and Zoroastrians, all developed ideas so that somebody would love them!
And you thought you had your life under control...
love n luck
