Greetings, @d-pend
I like that therapy. That’s why I am doing memes now.
This world we are living in is absolutely crazy, unjust, alienating and freaking fast. Those images you got accurately reflect what it feels like to live in the real world or in a virtual one, especially one like Steemit, where a work of art is good for 7 days only and so many thousands more are produced by the second that the chances of revisiting an “old” one are scant.
I am not sure, though obsolescence can be glorious, except when it is looked after, pursued desired. Out of boredom, maybe? Out of disdain for the precipitous pressure of currency?
Artists tend to envy fame and once they get it they get sick of it.
What a normal human reaction! Isn’t it like that for everything we want or desire?
And this was before the internet and Steemit.
Obsolescence can be a very sad state of being. And I know that not only from Toy Story. Old people feel obsolete and most mid-life crises have that sinking feeling as a background.
The glorious aspect may come later with acceptance and reinvention, I guess.
This acceptance should also allow us to understand how much of a tool we are for the great scheme of things, how much we are manipulated as well as manipulators.
We are surrounded by looters.
Emptiness, no matter how much we furnished ourselves is the ultimate outcome.
