The most life changing intellectual moment in my life was when I learned I can do anything unless I'm being physically stopped from doing so
Personality, beliefs, feelings, relationships; those are either shaped by our limitations (for example, in the case of disabilities) or they're limitations on their own.
Freedom and liberation always come at a cost
The point I'm trying to make is that so much of our lives don't make sense.
Much of our ethics and morality is irrational and nonsensical but often repackaged in a tone of rationality and logic so we don't completely lose our sanity
Those who can manipulate language the best have an advantage.
Once you start questioning the rationality of any person alive, you're bound to find double standards and hypocrisy.
But language is a powerful tool, don't get me wrong. Because through language and the stories we tell we manipulate and create realities.
We can decide what cruelty, harm, abuse, love, loyalty or even personality traits are and through that we create powerful realities and institutions that hold the human civilization together. Civility and justice are but illusions of control.
This has fundamentally changed me as a person and how I see everything and how I interact with my emotions.
At the end of the day, what I say about someone in its essence is about how I feel about them, similarly others can think the same. I don't have to make rational sense of everything.
I feel liberated, but I've become a person who's only capable of criticism and bringing the very foundations of human civilization to its ruin, seeing everyone's hypocrisy and irrationality (even myself) laid bare.
But I don't think people who think otherwise are idiots. On the contrary, they're capable of creating powerful realities and sometimes I miss being that "person", but my power intrinsically comes from another place, a bittersweet nihilism that brings destruction with liberation.
