"The will to overcome an emotion is ultimately only the will of another or several other emotions."
- Nietzsche, from Beyond Good and Evil
"In trying to please other people, we find ourself misdirected toward what lies outside our sphere of influence. Do not try to seem wise to others. If you want to live a wise life, live it on your own terms and in your own eyes."
- Epictetus, from The Handbook

That's the conclusion I've been coming to more and more. Communication with others is so filled with misunderstandings and assumptions that it all just seems like a giant farce sometimes. Especially on the internet. Going around asking people about satori when I already saw it years ago. What got into me? What a bunch of silliness. I'm over all that buddhism stuff. The truth is there for those who care enough to seek it out. Just like it always has been. There's always going to be a bunch of clownfish too. Idealism is a hard thing to let go of. I think I'm good.
WOW classic releases in august I'm hyped.
