The whole concept of not knowing what you’ve got until it’s gone. Remember that song you used to hate hearing and now 20 some years later, you’d wish we’d be back to music like it because music today is too artificial and AI-powered? Remember nearly a lot of things you criticized and now have a soft spot for because everything now has gone to shit?
Yeah, that hits hard. What sucks is that sometimes, you don’t know for certain if you’re experiencing the best of things. But once it passes you, give it 1 - 5 years, you’ll know it.
Egoistic people. Too many just see their own needs, and I’m not talking about basic needs. They are stressed and drive recklessly, don’t think about others when making decisions and so on. And in the end, we all pay a higher price for insignificant or no benefit of individuals. Life would be way easier if we could just slow down and stop having all those unrealistic expectations about what should be and started appreciate what is.
And yes I know that the world is a shitshow right now. I’m not saying you should ignore that.
agree with you. egotism is run rampant. especially in regard to politics, lifestyle etc. everyone seems to think anyone who doesn’t reflect their immediate needs or views is evil and awful.
people simple can’t tolerate anyone being different than them, because it’s a challenge to their ego because it might mean they are wrong.
i remember when social media was fun and people celebrated differences, now they just tear each other apart over ever minor difference. i used to me allowed to do stuff and enjoy my life… now everything I do or don’t do is ‘problematic’ or ‘oppressive’. 10 years ago nobody cared what car I drove, now I get lectures/speeches about how ‘evil’ i am for not buying an EV and keeping my 10 year old ICE.
