i will never look at that picture the same.
self reflection time.
here we go, everyone play this game with me. we had this discussion tonight. there are 4 universal things people strive for. everyone wants one of these things, and uses the other 3 as a means to an end. technically, everyone wants all of these things, but one above all others. these things are (drumroll): money, power, sex, and drugs. i went on to further classify a few of these to prevent confusion. money in the weath/possesion sense, sex in the whole physical pleasure sense, and drugs in the whole alternate reality/escapism sense. we ended up concluding that i was a drugs man. makes sense. anything i can do to escape reality. when you think about it, what is my ultimate goal. get drunk, get high, basically get stupid. makes sense. we went further to discuss the duality of these 4 things. you can split these ends into 2 categories, the concrete/physical ends (sex, drugs) and the abstract/intellectual things (wealth, power). everyone tends to lean more to one side. i am definitely a physical being.
but this got me thinking. all of my physicality is to fool my brain. i end up trying to escape reality. this reality, and this escapism is all in my mind. so am i really more interested in the physical aspect, or is it the intellectual aspect i am interested in??? i think it ends up being a combination, but it was very confusing to think about, because for all my interest in the physical side of life, i end up trying to fool my mind.
alright, everyone take the test. what is your ultimate end? sex, money, drugs, or power.
example of how the others are just a means to an end.
i want to drink, but i don't like drinking alone. i use sexuality, etc. to get some girl to come drink with me, but in the end it is about getting drunk. i use my power over ryan to convince him to drink with me. in the end, it all comes down to me using my money to buy something to drink.
anyways, peace out, k
