Those of us who critique and criticise the world are naturally avoidant of others who share the same world view as us. Why? Because knowing ourselves as we do, we don’t wish to be subject to their critique exposing us to our own faults of which we are likely already painfully aware of. We are afraid of the rejection and being lumped in with the rest of society we so loathe for their mindless ways.
This leaves us with a conundrum.
With no hope of connecting with those to whom we may actually share something in common, we are left with the rest of the world. The very same world we eschew and judge on a daily basis, and how can one connect with people they don’t truly respect? As a result we our left to our own devices, alone and with no attempt to connect with the world.
For we are disappointed and dissatisfied with society, and we are scared, that if we attempt to forego our pre-cognate conclusions, that we will be rejected due to a fundamentally different world view.
And it’s easier to sleep at night thinking you could be a part of something bigger, than it is to sleep knowing you are truly alone.
