>>227027Great post.
I have to ask though, since this is something I personally struggle with.
>The world isn't made for people like you or me. You are not supposed to break away from the animalistic, darwinian aspect of life because it goes against millions of years of evolution.What does one pursue then? What drives you?
I've found now that I'm in my 30s that I lack motivation as interest in stuff that I did to occupy the free time and mental bandwidth I had post maintaining the basics has diminished.
My needs are met for the most part, as well as they can be. My desires for material stuff I already indulged and learned I didn't care for after all.
I see my peers (in terms of age, mostly at work) having multiple kids and all that comes with it. An endless treadmill for resources as you say.
It's a clear drive for more. To better themselves, to work themselves to the bone to keep up with costs etc.
Once you give up all the "basic, built in drives", what is left? I'm not smart part enough to seek enlightenment.
