Well, I abhor philosophical directness despite being an extremely direct person for all other practical purposes. As useful as directness is for practicalities, it is totally useless for philosophical inquiries, as it does not help much in resolving moral scruples. But pop philosophy is on the rise, and Nietzsche is again famous, haha. At times I am able to reduce all my lectures to a sentence because I just cannot help myself. That one-liner, if understood correctly, holds the key to unlock an entire Hulk-sized moral problem, but since it is so catchy and outrageous at the same time, it ends up creating more problems than actually solving it.
When you are adept at thinking, your ability to being poetic or reduce moral conundrum or inconsistency drastically increases. It o births laziness and related anxiety because that one-liner, no matter how great it sounds, must be preceded by something simpler and lengthy and not the other way around. These days I have become lazy because of a of a lack of time on my hands. But let us make another failed attempt at the cost of my health to deal with it like philosophers do.
I am deeply unsettled by what passes as an idea of having fun these days. I have tried most of them in principle at least, and instead of having fun, they have all left me with a momentary depression, and I am sure everyone around me is equally depressed too by the mainstream idea of fun, and that explains why we have a limitless supply of criminals or sociopathic killers or serial killers or whatever term the FBI has made famous for lust-laden murders and crimes. But directly going to serial murderers is stretching it and a brilliant attempt on my part to reduce a blog to only a pop philosophy line, as I am getting late and I need to get home. Anyway, there are a lot of psychological crimes too that are not yet in the bracket of offenses warranting penal action, but people out there are doing weird things to have fun, trust me. People tell me all sorts of things, like you are anti-social and blah blah blah. Well, a lousy explanation could be that people are dumb, and maybe they are dumb, but individually people are bloody smart and intelligent and horrible and pathetic and kind and beautiful. Well, individually people are anything but dumb. So, it is established that people pretending are clearly not having fun, but they still must be having some sort of fun to be able to function in whatever little way they are functioning, right? People can pretend that they do not breathe oxygen, but they will still be breathing oxygen. Like I said, people are pathetic and are so borderline mad that at this point they will speak anything to win an argument.
See what I did there? I solved it to some extent. Let me help you see (oh, I love writing. Haha, it starts off as well-reasoned bullshit, but eventually it starts leading somewhere, doesn’t it?). One reason why people do idiotic stuff is to get some kind of psychological high by spitting in the face of people like me, and yet this is one aspect of their broader idea of extracting fun, as they like to do it in bits and pieces. We cannot read more than required into the mass mentality and validate people’s actions and use it to solve our moral scruples. One has to, in one way or another, come face-to-face with the fact that people must know what they are doing.
So instead of achieving highs of dissing people like me by subjecting themselves to the mainstream ideas of fun, what other methods must they be following?
Well, my idea of having fun does not sound like fun at all, and it is again not mine but marketing’s fault. As soon as you read the word fun, all those images come into your mind, don’t they? (You cannot think like I can, but I can think like you, right?)
See, fun involves psychological and material execution; it is the work of a lifetime and is hard. To have fun, one first has to understand who they are and ensure their uniqueness finds some sort of acceptability in the practical world. It takes years to be in this position, but again, fun is not a destination but a journey. One has to try to align one’s inner talents and find the right buyer; it is a daily balancing act. But every day spent doing something to get near to what you actually want to do is in itself a great deal of fun.
Everyone is doing this only as there is no other way. Unless it is real, there is no having fun. This is also where suicide kicks in. Haha, one either commits suicide or one becomes a serial murderer or maybe a dictator (same thing? Eh? No one ever accused dictators of being lazy or dumb just like serial murderers). People are outrageously creative in extracting fun. The sort of psychological perversity is just unimaginable. It is highly individualistic, but be assured that fun is there. Most of the time it may not even sound like fun, but it is fun, and no one wants to reveal their fun!
The key to understanding people is to understand how they are having fun!
