Posting on FB about my thoughts and life experiences used to be something I really looked forward to.
It made me happy.
Motivating people. Inspiring. Challenging people's beliefs while encouraging them to be and do more.
Trying to help others see the world differently.
But lately, I can barely bring myself to even open the app.
On one hand, as usual, I have been working extremely hard, wrapping up the last big push of one of our business projects.
But that's not something new.
To be honest, I just don't have the energy to put forth the effort towards what I now truly believe to be a lost cause.
I don't mean humanity is lost, though that may also be a thing, but that's not for me to know or judge.
I mean, more so, that whatever may come for others is out of my hands.
Not mine to control.
I used to try so hard to have intelligent conversations with people about politics, spirituality, etc, hoping to help guide others to see the world a little more objectively.
To encourage discourse through the lens of facts and emotional intelligence.
But these days, I've come to realize that no matter how hypocritical, how wrong, how ignorant, or how completely divisive and destructive one is, most would rather feel right, than actually be right.
The level of absolutely toxic and privileged people online has hit a level of absurdity that I never imagined was possible.
So, I did what I thought was best.
What every good Libertarian would do.
I focused on myself and my own.
While I may not change the world, I can change my own and that of the ones I love the most.
The truth is, most people don't want to be saved.
They want excuses that justify their failure.
Someone to blame for their circumstances, because personal responsibility is too much of a challenge.
Then to cancel anyone who overcomes adversity, because the success of others shines a light on their own short comings.
Misery loves company, afterall.
So, while this may be temporary, I've found so much peace in letting others do what thou will.
I've discovered that giving my energy to those that appreciate it, goes so much farther.
I've found that in silence, there's so much more to uncover.
Who knows, maybe I'll be back again some day. Trying to help others.
But at least these days, my circle is small and it feels nice.
Either way, no matter what comes, I love you.
Always have.
