This point is why I think it’s so important to not be in denial. There are plenty of people who are miserable and exhausted in their lives because they can’t imagine a better way to live. Yes, we still have to eat, poop, and shit, but I think we can figure out a way to be more present, healthier, and happy.
The idea of a better life is one that’s not just a wish, but a reality. It’s so easy to think that if we could just get better at everything, then everything would be great. But even though life is good, what we can’t do is be there for our family. We can’t be there for our kids. We can’t be there for our friends. We can’t be there for our neighbors, our coworkers, or our bosses.
Sure, we can strive to be more present and healthier, but the reality is, we can do far more with less. That’s just the way the universe works. We can make the most of what we have, but we can also make the most of what we don’t have. If we want to be better parents, we can. If we want to be more present, we can. If we want to have more fun, we can.
Life sustaining, you might say. But maybe we should define what we mean by these words. A lot of people who think they are living in a life sustaining lifestyle are actually living lives of high stress. Sometimes it feels as though we are constantly trying to make something that doesn’t exist. We all need that routine to make each other feel calm and stable. It feels good to have a routine, but it also makes life harder.
I think the best way to describe what it is that makes life harder is to say it is our jobs, our relationships, our social lives. When we are stressed, we have to remind ourselves to focus on something that is not so stressful. We have to remind ourselves to be more present and feel less stressed all the time. We have to remind ourselves to make our relationships and jobs more of a priority. We have to make our social life more of a priority too.
This is all so important, because we are living our lives in a “virtual” world. We are no longer living the real world. Our job is to make sure that the lives of our loved ones, our friends, and our friends’ families are not in any way impacted by this virtual reality that we call our own.
With this in mind, perhaps it’s time to put down our phones and do something more productive to alleviate the stress of life.
I’ve seen this movie before, but I have to say I’m not at all impressed by the way it’s written. I have a hard time believing that people would actually give a shit about the lives of their friends and their family, and they probably also wouldn’t give a shit about the lives of their friends and their family because they would just be too busy doing whatever they were doing, or because they were just too busy fucking with the shit out of some other guy.
Yeah, I’m sure the movie will be a great hit, but I don’t see the point of making it just for the sake of making it.
I think the idea of making something that is just there for the sake of making it is something that can create a kind of tension between what people are willing to do and what they are willing to accept. In the case of Deathloop’s story, it’s a pretty tense situation at the end and a lot of people will die. But people will still be willing to die, and still be willing to fight for what they believe.
