"To love is to nourish with hope…we look for nourishment and our fulfillment in others; we live for another who is living for us."
Who is that voice, that tells you to hurry up,
whips you into action, as if
the desire to action can't be generated from the inside --
or couldn't or shouldn't be,
as if you are being turned into livestock,
beaten for the purposes of others.
Authenticity is 'bent' when one is abused.
This is a great article on the history of authenticity. Authenticity is an ancient topic and views on it have changed over the years. I would call myself Aristotlian, and NOT existentialist. Fascinating.
Loud people upset me. I don't expect everyone to be silent, but there must be some decibel range, where they stop and you begin. What are the parameters in a civil society? Do I really need to listen to someone masturbate over my head? I have my fans and my white noise machine, they are Godsends! But some people really do simply bellow, I don't understand.
An article I need to read starts: "Do loud people have annoying voices. Or are all voices annoying with volume?"
Investigate.
