My thoughts are not who I am
107.
It’s pretty late by now. In fact it’s already Friday, but it doesn’t really seem like it when you stay up. I’m not used to going to sleep after 23.00 or so, and it being 01.30 is pretty wild for me. It’s difficult now to keep the thoughts forming and the sentences flowing when all I’m thinking about is going to bed.
Today I read something about people looking for the ‘cure’ to aging. A way to prevent it, let’s say. And I thought, why would you want that?
From time to time I also see people asking something along the lines of ‘If you could live without sleep, what would you do with the extra hours?’. Why are people asking these questions in the first place? Why change something harmless?
And in any case, if we didn’t sleep we’d become so irritable. You may argue that irritability over time is a byproduct of our need to sleep, and that if we took that need out of the equation then we wouldn’t become cranky. But I’m not so sure. There’s only so much bullshit you can endure in one day before your brain needs a rest from all that.
Regarding aging, I just think it’s a little pointless to try to postpone the inevitable. I don’t think being old is a bad thing. Being sick may be, but then in that case why prolong your chances to develop even more illnesses? I think that’s what would happen if we were to stop aging. New diseases would just come up.
Anyway, I’m losing the train of my own thoughts, so I’ll go to sleep.
I haven’t been able to sleep since my sister got Covid-19. It’s been about a week and a half since she tested negative and my anxiety still doesn’t let me sleep. I stay up tossing and turning even though I am so tired I can’t sleep. I stay up thinking about if I washed my hands enough during the day. If I kept distance with people. If the headache I have is a symptom or just a normal headache because I havent slept. It’s messing me up so bad and all I want to do is get a goodnight sleep. I want everything to just go back to normal. This has to be the first time I’ve ever felt like this and I don’t know what to do.
Agree? #philosophy #new #quoteoftheday #yokahead #rhoughts (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6w6r5lFKS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qb4hy66eyu8x
