Great Post Sammy as usual.
I was refraining from commenting, but since you already started the ego Dissolution around here, I might add to it.
You’re on point when you mention the attention. If you take into account how things are working at the moment, people are doing harsh and harsh things just to get noticed. Most of the times they don’t even know what they are doing, they just want to be talked about.
It is this perpetual sense of lack that people have, that pushes them to look outside for validation, whilst they deny of an inner reality which is hard : they are not who they want to be nor where they want to be.
This attraction game is fueled with the same desire (women) and the same inadequacy (confidence/drive/charisma…etc), so people convince themselves they are good or not depending on what’s happening outside. And try to pat themselves on the back with these pointless reality checks. “hell yeah, look at me”.
Deep inside it is either the same sense of perpetual guilt or lack.
Most likely if anyone goes naked outside will get loads of attention. Is this the attention wanted? Am I going to do something about it? Most likely not…
It’s like being happy only when it’s sun. Well, what about Winter? Or if you live in a place where it rains a lot?
However, I understand them. Even those fellows that want just to have their"material “or” schlongs" bigger. Truth is most of them have not even been rejected by this. whether it is a size game or attention game they’re playing, but they make themselves believe they have, because it’s easier.
Then the inevitable happens. They happened to grow fond of someone, and all the attention seems pointless now. A stranger is looking? "Well, maybe it is because I look weird "… “after all, person X doesn’t like me or notice me”…
If people notice you, there’s something about you. You either talk and explore that or leave it. If you don’t act on things why paying attention to them?
So all that game is just a continuous push to get high. There’s this funny saying “high on ojas”. Most people just want the energy, the attention, but really don’t know what to do with it.
It is just so a justification can be presented towards they not accomplishing nothing at all. Something to think about also.
