Remember the movie (or book) Fight Club? In it, there’s a fantastic line that goes something like, “We buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like.”
Read that line as many times you need until it scans as both absolutely ridiculous AND perfectly true… because it’s 100% both.
Once we’re aware of of those facts, don’t they seem like they’re the antithesis of what we’re working on here with these daily meditations, or religious practices, or ANY sort of self-improvement process? Of course they do.
All the shit we do in order to impress these people isn’t done because we WANT to do those things… we do them so we can get some sort of desperately-sought approval from people who aren’t worth the anxiety they cause. #EgoBullshit
So, ask again: Why do we need to impress these people?
(See y’all tomorrow)
