What is true happiness? See as kids we get our hopes up and as adults they are broken down, now we see that nothing in our life truly lives up to our kids expectations. But what is it that would being that childish sense of happiness?
I seek that answer. Or rather the sub-answer of it is possible in this world?
Take a look at seniors. Wouldn't you say its easier to bring true happiness to the older or the young? But yet that middle part is unsatisfied. The adolescent realizes this but the middle aged is complacent?
Yet the teenager is chastised? No. I would become them. (If I become complacent instead of continuing my search)
Then?
Wouldn't it then be my life's purpose be the pursuit of happiness?
[On a tangent...won't I be looking for someone else whose on this ENDLESS pursuit. Not the simplistic one of easy answers, but one of which there may or may not exists in this life?]
....I suppose the idea of being complacently happy....repulses me.
A lot. Hence I understand but cannot live by such a person. But if someone finds their happiness...then they can live by that. But secretly I do not believe such happiness is possible in this world...yet but I cannot say that until I continuously try until the end.
But its a matter of keeping the fighting spirit even if the battle is futile.
I feel others tears of futility. But to carry that through in hope. Regardless of falsehood. In this case we create the "image of the witch" that "without love cannot be seen". In this case reality can be just as imaginary as non-reality. Or in terms of what is theatrical presentational vs representational. Essentially pre-emption that blurs the line of reality for a continuity that seems like reality and will become reality once everyone believes. Think of the tree that falls in the forest that no one hears and also the lie that everyone believes that becomes truth. This is why I say reality is just as subjective as surreality.
Its sad when you show someone else your reality and yet people are still attracted to an amount of surreality. And in this case it stems from our childhood in what we want to believe. With true reality there's nothing to comfort ourselves with.
The dilemma is should one present "true reality" or use "surreality" like everyone else to your advantage.
But in this case, aren't you just as alone? Don't you want someone to penetrate this and see what is real and what isn't. To make such a thing not even necessary?
Yet if everyone knows this where is the fine line?
What's the right amount of presentationalism?
The right amount of engineering?
It's obviously whatever you can backup. But do YOU YOURSELF even realize your limits?
Or has that not been ignored? And presentationalism is simply a mental block and in fact just as real as everything else?
Well that gets back to the point is ANYTHING real? Or is everything simply degrees of fakeness?
So if everyone is swallowing their own opiates.....is anyone REALLY anything more than NPCs as the walking dead?
Then how the fuck would anyone WANT complacency?
.....except its easy.....and everything else nice and manufactured though a sociological perspective...wow I should be a sociologist :P
jkjkjk
Anyway, should one be as real as possible or use surreality to their advantage?
Why not use BOTH? Meaning take advantage of it but use progressively less as time goes on....
In that case you have..... how to metagame people?
.....now flip it over....you KNOW this is gonna happen.
Now this gets REALLY FUCKING COMPLICATED.
If two people are both playing this little metagame, the objective reality hardly exists and the whole relationship is fake/presentational.
One way metagaming is real still but the relationship isn't advanced to the final stage until BOTH parties drop that.
The first is scary. Two way metagaming sounds like a KGB and an FBI having sex for intel, You gotta become more real or let the other party get what they want to some level. Idk who has to submit, but someone cause two way meta will never work. A two way meta dating situation is about as bad as it gets as it bastardizes the point of close contact....two way meta imo leads to "Getting used"
So basically turning two way metal into looking like your submitting but instead youre acting like its one way....when really it isn't.
Then you've outsmarted them...unless they're doing it two and then yor BOTH acting like its one way...and god help you. I was in this situation its pretty damn bad. You both think things are going bad and then one day youre gonna think and go NO ITS NOT. FUCK THIS. And now you're playing hopscotch with both yourself and the other person. So if youre in this STOP THE FUCKING MIND GAMES. AND BOTH BE REAL. OR AT LEAST ONE OF YOU. PREFERABLY YOU FIRST AND DO NOT WAIT ON YOUR PRIDE. (You're pretty much screwed already). So that means if you realize that you both are on the second level of reading and prediction hence you are on the third level its your responsibility to stop acting like you're smarter and be real.Also RESPECT a person with the ability to go to two levels theyre damn awesome in the first place...or a really fake ass bitch. Pray theyre somewhere in the middle and make something good out of it.
Now take your awesome girl out with you, hold her hand and go tackle the fucking world together cause im sure combining both of your intellects is a much better idea...than letting both of you reach the third level....and then realizing the 4th level of that relationship is ending because none of you will fix it at the third level. AND IF YOU HAVE TIME TO THINK THAT FAR FUCK YOU IF YOURE NOT DOING ANYTHING, unless you realize that you didn't actually want that relationship ANYWAY. But either way if you don't do anything on the third level youre screwed. Then comes the heartbreak and why am I still explaining this?
Lets recap
0th Level: Being Real.
1st: Presentational
2nd: Pretending to go along with someone elses presentationalism while making your own
3: Realizing you guys are BOTH DOING THIS
4: You're fucked. Its over.
So don't get to 4. If one person gets to 3, STOP BEING FAKE.
Now you and your partner go have fun. Have lots of cuddle time awesome sex, walk through the parks etc.
But if you guys both realize you guys need to find happiness its better together than the pain of being alone. Nothing is worse than eternal solitude. Nothing can make you go crazy like yourself.
Can you two do it? (achieve?)
I don't know, I'm trying to find out myself.
Good luck to all.
