Brain Wave #21: That's too bad
Brain Wave #21: That's too bad
As stupid as the rest of this entry may sound, yeah I'm not even gonna tell you to bare with me, this is indeed the more "based on no facts" that I've done, pure dump of thoughts as always.
My mom showed me a video of a hack for how to cut parchement paper exactly straight everytime, personally I don't even remember the hack that she saw on Facebook or TikTok or whatever, but I did think and tell her that "I don't really need this hack, the rugged way I cut my parchement paper works everytime giving me the right amount that I need. So yeah, a video on how to make my life easy is kinda useless when my life is already at ease.". That's when it hit me, what is it about us having to make our life easier? Why would we want our life easier? I mean yeah everybody desires that, but what's the long term objective of doing so? Yeah cutting parchement paper straight everytime will look indeed neat, I will have a good amount everytime I'm using it, but once it finishes and once I take it out to bin it I've used it the same way, regardless its rugged or straight edges. I understand that it's quite easy to fall in the "why would I do my bed when I'm going to sleep in it again" mindset, but that's not what I'm trying to get to (I tend not to make my bed most of the times) what I'm trying to say is that other than the colloquial use of "making my/your life easier" there must be something that we're trying to get to by making our lives more efficient.
Thinking about it there might be two immediate approaches to this:
1. I exist to have been born and to one day decease, making my own life easier is just gonna take in accout efficiency to give myself more freetime.
Pretty straightforward, basically take advantage of this ease to eenjoy your experience here on the planet.
2. I am just obsessed with being efficient, everything must be done in an efficient way in order to put my mind at ease.
Honestly don't blame you, I basically do that at work mostly, simply because I don't want to run into too many complications, also straightforward.
But, you might also be one of those people who thinks that if we're eventually gonna part from the world one day or the other, there is no point to everything. Yeah, I'm gonna leave that one to Camus and shit, because I don't really have the faculties to go that deep lmao. Also because I'm about to lose my line of argument...
Back to the parchment paper, what is it that we seek in lif- wait no too deep again, what is it that we seek to optimise? Why would we "make our bed"? What do we pursue to reach with that easy life?
Obviously answers to these questions are so subjective, which is why I was looking at different prespectives earlier, what we seek from our individual lives is totally up to us (yes indeed, you decide what you want out of your life no matter how hard, easier said that done am very aware) the whole reason why we try to "make our life easier" is because we live life with the intent of giving it meaning. Holy I'm going off a tangent, dipping my toes in waters that are way too dangerous for me.
Let me go on another tangent real quick: whenever I have ideas for the blog and am nowhere near in both space and time to write, me having a memory of a goldfish I text my friend words that have something to do with what I'd like to talk about, and they're just short and concise, a quick reminder of the direction I want to go to. Anyway, yesterday I text my friend twice saying "EPIPHANY" and "parchment paper" and me having a worse memory that what you can even imagine I always forget what I text or send to people, point being I find it hilarious myself being confused by her text back being confused...
Again, talking about jackshit because I forget what I wanted to say.
I personally feel that this "life efficiency" idea is sort of unavoidable, in the sense that (coming back to a previous discourse) just like as humans we will never stop have subconscious ideas such as caring about what other people think of us, we will never stop trying to achieve something in ou lives other than meaning. Almost as if there is something further or adjacent to life meaning that we're trying to look for. I don't personally know what it is obviously, but I feel like it's a concept that has something to do with time, as conscious beings we are aware of our surroundings and constantly anxious about life and death, meaning that our sort of "internal clock" keeps reminding us about how "optimising" our life time can help us achieve that "something" adjacent to "meaning" that we're subconsciously chasing. Philosophically speaking this pursue could be eternal, similarly to the pursue of "life meaning", but again, am not someone who has found all the answers, or is in the right track to find them whatsoever lol.
I should really be reading more philosophy and actually learn what I'm talking about, instead of making up stuff. But y'know this blog is not an outlet of others' opinion as much as it is mine.
Good bai for now, poposwag
