avoid_thinking
rage we see the dollar-a-day ads and avoid thinking about the starving

we see the raw meat and avoid thinking about the life the animal it came from could've had

we fuel our addictions- smokedrinkdruggedstarvingpain- and avoid thinking about what we're doing to ourselves

we purchase another item of clothing and avoid thinking about the sweatshop workers that got paid 8 cents to make it

in an effort to stay happy, or at least placid, we've been trained to avoid thinking.

just an observation.

tessa it is not possible to think about everything all at once. we would drown in a endless pool of guilt and depression, rendered limp an useless by endless chains of causality.

sometimes we must chose not to think.

It is my new strategy, actually. Image there is a particular route home where every time you take it, you end up lost. You go round and round the same bits of road, not getting anywhere new or useful. Imagine it always takes you hours to find your way out and always leaves you depressed and lonely.

Eventually, you would learn to recognise the road leading that way when you saw it, and you would simply stop taking that road.

I'm learning.
