Yolo. I aped in. Fomo. Fuck it. Let’s do this. Cheers. One more line.
Most of your culture tells you to indulge, consume, enjoy—take everything now, deal with the fallout later.
Wait, no. Consequences are oppressive now, not natural outcomes of our choices. Right?
We’ve drifted so far from any foundation—even a crude one—of spiritual principles in our money, institutions, politics, art, and media.
So what exactly do we lean on when we tell people to delay gratification?
Let alone realize that the senses are a prism—and a prison.
We blame each other for failing to do what we can’t do ourselves—from corruption to whatever goodness is trending this month.
But we rarely even try to argue why, in a world like this, anyone should be an exception.
There’s no material or social reward for it. It’s sustained mostly by sheer will—and the consequences of not doing it.
You just become a social weirdo for even suggesting there is some vague notion of hope another wave of authentic life would rise from the ashes of our past.
We prefer the masquerade for convenience.
But what if, one by one, we reconnect
To the idea that we are eternal. Life after life. Form after form.
We emerge, in a variety of rewards as our choices,
Rising time after time, in resonance.
Would this have immediate results now?
Would it reverberate across cultures but also time?
