What’s wrong with this tweet? And a billion others like it?
I’ll tell you.
Obsession with self.
That’s it; that’s the gaping black hole in all of this: the delusion that self is the most important thing in the universe.
It’s not.
Just forget the damn self. Not necessarily even in an altruistic way, but just in the obvious and practical sense that there is so much more to think about and work with and learn about than one single self, and here all these damn fools are obsessing over their magic spiritual jennderrz. Do something else! Anything else! Look outward! Go for a walk in a forest, learn a language, campaign against global warming, grow a garden, go sailing.
It’s more interesting, it’s more fun, and you’ll stop being quite such a pain in the ass.
