Wait, sorry let me start once again. I forgot your hate towards societal norms that don't make sense.
To a person I never knew personally hence isn't dear to me,
"I don't want to know what time it is. I don't want to know what day it is or where I am. None of that matters."
It's been more than a decade since I got to know about a somebody in this world, the world that strives to fit us inside a clock from the moment we are born, to make us disciplined to an extent that we forget the thin lines between being a human and a robot until we end up losing all the humanly traits we once carried.
"I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one."
Is it good to have a career? It is one of the many materialistic needs of life. You need money to have a good life and to find happiness- at least, that's what we are taught since childhood. An idea reiterated to us countless times until it settles into our minds like a seed that grows even when we attempt to suppress it.
But it is extremely hard to conform to a society where you gain something as profound as knowledge only for monetary gains. When you see the quest for knowledge and wisdom outshined by the struggles to become a money-making machine, you wonder if this is the life you want.
With all the ups and downs in one's existence, they seem to lose parts of themselves only to heal them with new ones. If the entire essence and personality of a person shift constantly, how are they supposed to like one solitary thing for the rest of their lives?
I guess what they say is true- "If you are not at war with yourself. You are at war with others." I think that is one of the essential reasons why most of us have a substantial portion of our hearts filled with regret that we need to scour in the depths of our souls to find a few moments worth cherishing. We often blur the lines between being in denial and blaming others for the choices we never made.
Are we too living our "lies" somewhere?
From giving us a name to deciding how our life is supposed to work, each of the little things of our life is a preconceived concept. All of these trivial things gradually add up to design our entire life.
I know changing your name to "Alexander Supertramp" did not necessarily alter the reality of life. Nevertheless, it gave you the contentment of taking control of your life. But do we actually do anything to change our lives? Each day, most of us think that we are going to live a unique life. But how many of us actually go out of our way to grab what we want?
It is perhaps the most courageous lesson you taught us- the first step you take towards being the master of your life is the hardest but it is only in that one insignificant step that the rest of our life can be changed for the better or for worse.
"Happiness is only real when shared."
In a society that is near to being morally dead, you think about leaving everything behind and not believing in the joy that human relationships bring. The betrayal, lies and deceits we hear in the world more than the words of comfort from our loved ones make us ponder whether it is worth taking the risk.
Your story is a masterpiece because it has its own share of missteps. You were able to uncover the deceptions and lies of the people, however, you forgot the comfort of a human bond.
