Dear John,

Nothing really seems to continue being interesting of late. It appears life has lost its thrill, and that everything in it of magnitude is much smaller than at first glance. So, is this the way that life is supposed to be? Perhaps you feel the same way.

Anytime,

John

Hi John,

I can empathize with how you feel. I think there's a reason the phrase "childlike-sense of wonder" uses the verbiage it does - as you grow older, the world tends to lose its fancy sheen.

I'm not really sure what's next for me. Perhaps you feel the same. But all I know is I cannot continue to live like this. I feel like I'm just floating through a sea of gray.

With that being said, it feels self-inflicted. I have friends who regularly travel the world, or who engage deeply in hobbies like building their cars or mountain biking or playing tennis, and they build a community from said hobbies. Meanwhile, what do I do? I go to and from work, browse social media, play video games, and let my thoughts consume me. How can I say life has lost its thrill when I've not truly experienced all of what life has to offer?

My own social anxiety and fear of rejection has boxed me into a mental prison of my own making that has prevented me from just going out and experiencing.

I have felt rays of genuine joy on occasion. It gives me hope there is more out there. I need to sit down and think about what it is about those moments that makes me feel so good, so I can come up with a plan to maximize this.

I hope we both find our way, John.

- John

Not sure what you mean?
Although it would not be hard to look at like that.
Anyway, I brought some Dutch cheese with holes in it. Not to sure on the taste, some black pepper helps.

There are very few things in life which are as interesting as the idea of them. I guess you could say most of life is psychosomatic.

I still enjoy nostalging though, can't help it, but I am sure that if I actually could time travel back to my childhood I'd be bored within a few days and want to come back.

John,

I had the idea to freeze some cheese slices that I had in my fridge because I was going away for an extended period of time and didn't want them to go to waste.
When I thawed them, the slices stuck together and crumbled when I tried to separate them. I was unsuccessful on putting an individual slice on a hamburger. They turned into one big crumbly mass. It ended up essentially being a waste.

Sincerely,

John

>I can empathize with how you feel. I think there's a reason the phrase "childlike-sense of wonder" uses the verbiage it does - as you grow older, the world tends to lose its fancy sheen.

Tbh, even amongst children, the sense of wonder wears off quickly. It’s mainly periods of boredom and excitement for familiar fun.
If anything I think society is too obsessed with wanting to keep children innocent and motivated.

>>49428
I remember reading a book by Ralph Waldo Emerson and he said the more he travelled the more he realized he was depressed and empty. Traveling is mainly reduced to cliche attractions and tourist traps. People expect travel to be exotic men and women who offer great sex and food.

>>49429
The reason why people think childhood is the best is because it takes one-fifth/one-sixth of the human lifespan. If it were to last more than half the human life span, there would be more appreciation for adulthood

In fact I guarantee you that if I were to give people a one way ticket back to childhood to live there permanently with their current memories intact, most would kill themselves after a decade.
Why? Because adult pleasures are far greater than childhood pleasures.

Would you be willing to give up your rights and abilities for sex, drugs, driving, eating whatever you want, traveling wherever you want, having your own private space, etc just for some relived innocence?

Even if traveling back to childhood regressed your memory back to your respective age, you would get tired of it.
Is it any wonder why teenage rebellion is a thing?
Childhood is a trap by puberty

This
Too many obnoxiously groveling platitudes talking about how great God is and the excessive personalization of God.
Most praise and worship people I think they lack hobbies and resolve in life. That’s why they turn to religion.

>>49431
Idk people have been saying this for centuries now.
Methinks people like to personalize human events as being divinely influenced to cope with helplessness.

This is why I say idealism is more dangerous than materialism.
Materialism is motivated by the IDEA of luxury items, not the luxury items themselves.
It’s why romance is more tricky than lust
Lust is more consistent and flexible in its appreciation. Romance on the other hand is always trying to find “The One”, never appreciating the current partner as they are, always comparing them to previous ones.

This. Traveling is often morally imposed onto people as way to “expand their mind”, and yet the images we see on TV of colorful robes and cute trad women is actually just modern-clothes folk rushing to and fro about work and school muttering curses under their breath at you because you’re just another tourist.

I especially hate how schools often preach about diversity and force kids whom are neurodivergent or ethnically foreign into participating in group activities when theyre not comfortable.

Adults often talk about how kids need new experiences but most of these new experiences are just cliche kinesthetic activities
Real novel experiences are barred
