To NOT be fake — lock yourself in the forest
You are under influence
Influence is likely more powerful then you are
Everywhere around you — you are bombarded with what you should WANT and what you should BE
Consider everything you think you want — even though you have no idea what it’s like having it
Or everything you “want” to be — even though you have never been that
If you never experienced it — how can you know you want it?
Somehow it entered your head
You are under influence
We all are
It’s how society works
We learn without even trying to learn
We learn what to BE LIKE and what to BEHAVE LIKE and even what to WANT (mimetic desire)
This is how we function in society
And we are stronger together, true
But it comes at an expense of individuality
You are under influence
Influence is likely more powerful then you are
Your entire life is likely a sham
Don’t speak of “individuality”
You have no clue what it is
Even your idea of individuality has been conditioned into your head
Go to the forest instead
Go to the forest
Spend some time alone
The more the better
The more time AWAY from influences — the closer you get to what you really are
The more SILENT you become and listen to your heart — the sooner you’ll hear it beating and speaking to you
If you can’t go to the fucking forest
Get rid of social media, at least for a while
Social media is perhaps the greatest source of influence of them all
It’s bright and shiny and easily-digestible and retarded — just how you like it
It promises stupid shiny shit that you think you want, in the easiest way and sounding exactly the way you want to hear it, you stupid fool
Get rid of it
Get rid of your friends too if you can
Because they make you
(you’ve heard the tale of “being the average of 5 people you spend most time with”)
And go for a long walk, as far away from your den as possible
And as far away from civilisation as possible
Go where you’re alone and naked
This is how you find yourself and there is no other way
You don’t find yourself on social media or in the books or in the club
You find yourself in the forest
It’s all you must know
We seek “individuality” in exactly the wrong places
You want to be an individual – be with YOURSELF
