and become a cog in the never ending machine that has but one purpose: to keep itself alive.
I believe it starts at kindergarten schooling, where you don't learn to a gather food and shelter, but start the basics of following numbers until you have become one.
Someday all our dreams will come to be in a world where men are free.
shareThe machine IS us, from womb to tomb.
shareI don't feel that. Or at least I am distanced enough from the machine to see its form. It's a huge invisible machine, and it's not we have an option.
Every one takes vacations to "get away" from machine live, to mountains, beaches, the forests... those retreats are what we really want to be.
There's a specific age for that?
Also . Has anyone EVER like literally stopped here? Being a human? And what did one become instead - a flipping entity?
Also I wonder, who helped you to stop become human, God?
shareI remember being profoundly disconcerted at the regimen in kindergarten, felt the loss of freedom to knock about the house, doing what I pleased, immensely.
Always destined to be a poorly ground gear.
I've never stopped being human, and being myself, and I'm over sixty.
I've never had kids, that's probably why. Once you realize your life is going to be dedicated to earning enough money to support your ungrateful dependents, the soul dies.
definitely truth to that. I choose child free also, no regrets. but still, our procreative instinct pushes it hard.
the tons of housing going up... all for "famlies" really. nothing wrong with it, but people tuned their whole life to support the machine, rarely SEE it.
You never stopped being human cause that's how YOU are.
Alas, not everybody has such a stable character. *Mimimimi*
That you don't have kids only protects you from dying untimely (exhausted, greedy heirs).
This whole thread sounds like a Pink Floyd song
