Life...no serious thought necessary...
I think what I'm getting taste of is what the world looks like with less rigorous thought...and more reactions...that get rationalized in a whole host of ways...
A life without rigourous thought is a life of random experiences and random thoughts and random reactions...
A life where anything can be rationalized for whatever purposes...under whatever guise...for whatever reasons that we might assert in the moment...
A life where presumption of good faith isn't needed...because the worst can always be assumed...
A life of self-fulfilled cynicism...
A life where we all believe what we want to believe...just because...no real serious thought necessary...
And where we all just self-righteously assert our right to believe whatever we want to believe...no serious thought necessary...
And where we all do whatever we want...no serious thought necessary...
Where we hurt others...in whatever ways we please...no serious thought necessary...
A life where the only thing we are accountable to is our own goddamn egos...and experiences...and "stories"...and our isolated thoughts...or even poorly conceived thoughts reinforced by one another...
No serious thought necessary...
That's how we ought to introduce people in the world, I think...
Life...no serious thought necesary...
Because the truth is that that's how most of us really think about the world...
Life...no serious thought necessary...
And what an ugly world it is with no serious thinking thought necessary...
Surely there's got to be something better...
