I don't understand why people literally kill each other over pieces of paper. People flee from their motherland just to mint more of this paper and engage in fourth-dimensional corporate consumerism in the hopes of filling the holes in their hearts. I have glanced at some mind-boggling blasphemous "quotes" which go along the lines of money can't buy happiness but it is better to cry in a Ferrari than in a Suzuki. You may be confused whether the above-mentioned quote is telling you to become a capitalistic slave or if it is being rhetoric and sarcastic telling you to find happiness within. Trust me when I tell you the former is what 99% of the people understood from that ambiguous quote.
I consider myself very much fortunate to have learned this priceless lesson that fourth-dimensional consumerism, unhealthy indulgence in worldly pleasures and Immigration to First world countries won't fill that hole in your heart. The one way to fill that hole is to live in the moment and be satisfied with what you have, the grass will always be greener on the other side, when you reach the greenest patch there is you will find that the hole in your heart has widened each time you chased behind the greener patches. I know people who had the chance to immigrate but didn't do it because they knew what I know now to this day their wives and children shit [ I had to say it ]on their heads saying something along the lines of why didn't you go when you had the chance, if you had taken it we wouldn't have had to be around these wretched beings, all of us would have been stratospheric you selfish diabolical satan spawn pig. When you are surrounded by people sick people we wish to flee from them it is only natural to feel that way, when we are finally away from them we wish to be around some because now we are very lonely and crave human interaction unless you are a psychopath/sociopath, even the biggest loner needs to interact with humans to stay sane. I have heard that if a person is put in a room and is given food, water and all the basic necessities but isn't allowed to interact or even see another person, no television, internet, books, the person will be given food through a tray in the door and bathroom will be in the room, it is said the person will go insane or kill themselves I think it's the former can't remember exactly.
The moment you let mainstream media get under your skin you have knowingly or otherwise have fallen into the rabbit hole, you are fed day and night about going after the next best thing, better standard of living, getting that better car, buying that Rolex, getting that Macbook, stiving for the newest iPhone, having that nine-digit bank balance. They want you to keep buying to fill that hole in your heart for a few minutes, each time you temporarily fill, it wider it gets I can tell you this for a fact as I myself fell into this as I am passionate about electronics, every year newer and better goodies are released every time I wish I get my hands on them, I never can because of my family's economic policy which is money isn't for spending it is a secret competition to see how much can you hoard until you die. I had to spend my money or wait till it's my birthday and hope for the best or get good grades in the prison system aka school. [ I wasn't a good prisoner I say it with pride ]
What I was coming to tell was I have this gift to put myself in other's shoes which can also be used to put myself in possible future scenarios, I'll tell you how this helps me on a day to day basis. Say I see something that catches my eyes 500 dollar open-back studio-quality headphones and I wish to have them, within the first hour or so I am 101% confident that if I get it the hole in my heart will be permanently filled. I might even hold onto it until I get that sweet pair of headphones in my hands. After some time when I have calmed down and dopamine has come to normal levels, I picture that I have got those headphones and for a week or two I am up in the clouds, I am stratospheric all day and night until and slowly it dies off the filling in my hole oozes away while making the hole wider, in this period of time I am disappointed and dejected as the feeling of fulfilment, satisfaction, validation to my existence that I had for a while slowly drained away so to become high again I set my sights on a new thing to, another contender to fill the hole hopefully forever but you know it deep within that three weeks is the maximum you can pull that stunt. What I explained is what I believe almost everyone has felt after practising corporate consumerism consciously or otherwise I believe at least 90 % of you folk was able to go " damn that's happened to me" when you read the lines above This self "destructive" cycle happens over and over again until you see this and put an end to it. If you don't put an end to it naturally the hole gets wider you find more expensive things to fill that hole from headphones to Rolexes to bungalows to mansions to BMWs to implanting ruby in your forehead your width widens to the extent where 90 % of your hearts gone in the end you're mentally and emotionally crippled is an understatement you are annihilated your existence is so painful you would gladly choose suicide as one or two minutes of unbearable pain beats the pain you have been in all your life and the pain you were subjected to can't be quantised.[ As I typed those words I could feel the pain I was talking about I wish and pray that nobody ends up in that state in real life those who have reached that state I pray that those people are in a better place ]This is the end result of practising mindless corporate fueled soul-crushing consumerism. Wake the hell up or I can guarantee you that you will kill yourself may that never happen. [ suicide is a sensitive topic which I will get into in another post ]
This vicious cycle can be noticed if you take a step back and look at what you are doing with yourself, the solution to overcome this capitalistic fueled consumerism method of torture is to try and do what I am doing. It is difficult not just in the beginning, every single day the mantra of striving for better XYZ is shoved down your throat mercilessly but the long term peace of mind coupled with the dopamine release you get for identifying the honeytrap you get is simply priceless.
When you practise this there is no hole in your heart to fill. The technique is simple to preach but to put into practise it is the exact opposite which can be said for all techniques, coming to the point what you have to do is realise that you are a victim of fourth-dimensional inception [ see the marvellous movie if you haven't ] by mass media, realise that every minute you are awake you are told to shift gears and strive for better, know and understand that the hole in your heart won't be filled by getting materialistic things or fulfilling goals set by you or someone else. The first and the most important part is to address and realise that you are being attacked on all grounds to strive for the next best thing sorry if I am repeating myself but this is the most important step. The second step is to tackle and subdue the enemy since this problem manifests differently for different individuals there is no one solution to fix everyone I had intended to tell you to find the answers yourself as only you can find a perfect path to your solution as only you know the strengths and weaknesses of you. Below I will tell you some methods I devised if that solves it well and good. Below mentioned methods can only be applied after doing the first step that is facing the enemy aka acknowledge that the hole in that heart can't be filled with things.
The examples I have written below is difficult to practise is quite an understatement. I encourage you to find your own method to work your way through as it is only you who know your own strengths and weaknesses. What works for me is method two which is devised by myself I believe the unique solution spawned by you will for the best for you as it is tailored by you for you.
Method 1
Live in the present moment don't go to the past or the future as life is what happens between every breath you take, you cannot change the past nor can you predict the future but what you can do now is to relish and enjoy that lunch you are having, soak in the movie that you're watching. What I have described here is Buddist mindfulness if you dig deeper it will do more help than my compressed version of it. Buddist mindfulness in their skin of choice is what all the modern-day gurus preach in their "third eye" awakening courses which is day light robbery in my opinion. You get the gist it is the easiest thing to preach but to stick to it is the polar opposite.
Method 2
You are welcome to try my method of coping which is described above wish it works for you.
These are the only two methods that have come to my mind after brainstorming for 2 hours I am positive you will be able to find your own solution.
God speed
