o higging is one of those common words you hear in every article or interview about what it means to be self-aware. I can’t help but think it’s a way of saying “I know what I’m doing,” or “I know I’m being myself.” I’ve written about how to do this in a previous blog and I’d like to continue that discussion in this one.
o higging is a verb meaning “to be aware of”, and is usually used to refer to a specific way of knowing. The verb is used to describe a variety of things in life, from a person’s being aware of their heartbeat to a person’s having a particular thought.
For self-awareness to mean something, you have to know what you are doing, or you have to know that you are doing it. Being aware of your thoughts and actions is the same. As a result, we’ve come up with a set of simple guidelines for when it’s okay to higg. To start higging, you’ve got to know what you’re higging for.
A person with self-awareness just hits the bottle, and he or she doesn’t look back, but youve got to know what youre higging for.
Higgity-ho.
As it turns out, Colt Vahn is an amnesiac who seems to have woken up on a beach with no memory of why he is on Deathloop’s party island, Blackreef. That’s okay though because someone has left him vague messages in the sky about what to do. This is an example of the way that self-awareness works.
A person without self-awareness just hits the bottle and hes not looking back, but youve got to know what youre higging for. Thats what a person with self-awareness is doing.
I think that the people who like to “hig for” are usually the ones who don’t actually know what they are higging for. Most of them aren’t looking for something that they think is going to happen, they just want to feel like they’re being taken care of. I know from experience that when I’m high I don’t want to be taken care of, I want to stay high.
The people who like to hig for are those who like their power. If they can’t feel like they are being taken care of, they’ll never really go after it. The people who like to hig for are usually the ones who dont really know what they are higging for. Most of them arent looking for something that they think will happen, they just want to feel like theyare being taken care of.
I really hope Im not being a grinch to you. I know you are excited about the new game, and I want you to be. But the thing that I really want you to understand is that you can be excited about new things. You can be excited about a new game. You can be excited about the new Deathloop, and I want you to know that the people who like to hig for are usually the ones who are not looking for something that they think will happen.
