the human condition 2

Dreams and desires do not come true because they have no escape from the head. Hope and hopelessness of unfulfilled dreams. confessions written in white space. And my dreams became swallowed by the collective.

A dream dreamt alone is a dream

A dream dreamt tgt is reality -Yoko Ono



We have evolved to be very negative and angry, but that does not cut it in team management, and boss-work. Hate is stronger than love. We go to the worst restaurant in the world, and the best restaurant. Guess which one we’d talk more about. We’re designed like that. This is evolution. The optimistic people did not survive. Those who heard something like a snake, and they saw the good side of it.

In this post-industrialist world or artificial management, we have to be very conscious of our biological propensities that do more harm than good in wellbeing and productivity beyond the primitive sense.


We’re only okay if everyone is okay. Equity is relevant and the space of work should be as fluid and adaptable to those who occupy it. Humans change, spaces of co-creation should expand and contract accordingly. Really like fengshui, which does not end.


Companies are more mobile governments— the absurdity overwhelms us. The idea of individual freedom is so easily compromised by the individual themselves. When authority tells you to do something, we say we need to go through the right paths, and too often the paths

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night.
