I've been out all day with a friend trash talking our society, our system of higher education, some prominent educators and a couple of important people as well as a little bit some friends and ex'es.
Why can't we stop talking trash?
Do we really feel that sorry for ourselves that we need to justify our presumed injustice by shitting all over the place?
Does it help? - NO
Does it hurt? - probably not.
With this particular friend we always discuss this matters. What kind of odd habit is this? Is it breakable?
I don't want to feel sorry for my own life - I don't win all battles, but it still ain't half bad. I don't think talking shitty nonsense of other people helps the least. Why is it so hard to talk real nonsense with no root in reality whatsoever? I'd like all conversations to be more surreal, when we talk about "real" things we really mostly seem to construct some kind of phantasy world, and we find real facts in our lives to present as good arguments that this phantasy is real. Then we start believing it only because we want it to be true, and it's convenient as we'we not yet developed any other "realities" that can pass as such a good a truth as this one. It'll be the truth until some other truth is constructed and renders it meaningless.
So we create the web of lies. I'd really like to try some other web, a web of pure phantasy - to se whether or not it's any worse than the odd lies of everyday conversations.
I probably need to live more and write less....
