When we complain about the world’s mess, we often forget that we’re the ones ordering the drama. Demand is an energetic law: what we glorify, consume, or obsess over will grow. Whether it’s adrenaline, validation, novelty, violence, or beauty — the market, the culture, and the field will keep supplying it. We crave extremes because we don’t know how to nourish the deeper wounds that drive them. Until we heal the roots of emptiness, trauma, and boredom, we’ll keep seeing the same patterns in new disguises — drugs become dopamine hits, scarcity becomes “exclusivity,” relationships become transactions.
This post invites you to look at what you worship and what you ignore. If you love victory, learn to love the losses that taught you how to win. If you admire youth, seek the wisdom of elderhood. Value isn’t created by a price tag or popularity; it’s defined by resonance, endurance, and alignment with nature’s laws. We’ve been sold a story that “free” means worthless and “rare” means precious. But the most profound gifts — breath, water, love, truth — are common because they’re essential. Why do we overlook clean air but line up for luxury sneakers?
The “Jones effect” keeps us chasing what everyone else values, while our intuition whispers, “This is real, even if it isn’t popular.” Healing the roots means examining what we crave and why, restoring balance in what we celebrate, and recalibrating how we define value. Imagine an education system that invests back in you, or a culture that honours both process and outcome. Imagine choosing quality over hype and substance over spectacle. Common isn’t dirty — it’s divine. Scarcity isn’t power — it’s programming.
If everything that has demand will keep happening, then let’s start demanding what heals. Let’s choose balance, authenticity, reciprocity, and systems that nourish our wholeness. Let’s stop paying for poisons disguised as progress and start celebrating the gifts that were always free. This is a call to rethink what you feed and why — because the roots we nourish become the worlds we live in.
Everything we demand persists. That’s not just economics—it’s energy. When we crave adrenaline or validation, industries rise to meet us. If we never heal the hunger, we’ll keep inventing extremes …
