When I get that funny feeling I ask myself:
Who, where and when would I rather be? Some celebrity? A pesant from 1600? Some random bird? My grandpa? A hunter gatherer?
This humbles me. For a brief moment, I get to be part of the superorganism we call earth.You won’t have superpowers, but nothing is stopping you from fighting cartoonish villains.
People who feel this way might do well to add some adventure into their lives. It doesn’t need to be expensive. Walk or bike somewhere new. Try new foods. Blast some lines off a hooker’s massive fake tits, and blow a load all over her face. You know, the basics of a healthy life.
Blasting rope on a hooker’s tits is diabolical.
Depression

No shit?
That might be a symptom of depression, too
Or not enough fiber
That is sadly when unpolished reality truely hits.
There is no unpolished reality… depressive thoughts are not more real than happy thoughts even though it might be convenient to assume so sometimes.
That’s an opinion, I believe, that a lot of people share.
Both ends of the spectrum are delusional, sure. But the effects of these delusions, in the world around us, differ.
In my own limited experience, the more “rose tinted” end tend to overlook potential problems, if not completely ignore them, more often.
But there are problems. A whole heap of them. That is what I see as unpolished reality. And acknowledging it is important, if we would hope to do better.
