Phony life, phony values, phony goals

 

Life is not about goals, they get achieved (or you else, if you don’t achieve them, you get to be labeled as a loser (and it would be really bad if you yourself stick that badge on your chest)) and then you need to find another one, and another one, till you end, drop down dead. Goals are distractions, distractions to keep you from that feeling when you are between having finished one goal and are looking for another one, that period of purposelessness; and that feeling, that state of mind, is what life is under all those blankets we cover it with. Its purpose less, no matter what you make yourself believe. That intoxication you get from drenching your life running after them goals, do get off of you sometime, taking away with it the delusion of importance and purpose those goals of yours were supposed to provide for you, and those are the times you confront the bare life, the naked life, and you realize that life is cheap, you are cheap, and all those phony values, they don’t stick that well to life, fall off pretty well soon and you need to constantly search for the glue to stick them back on.
