This is one of the longest posts I've read so far on steemit. It's 21:30 right now and I am about to sleep then I saw your post... I understand your premise of being alone is self healing. Yes society is toxic to a point, especially when conformity overtakes our values and individualises. But I have to disagree a little bit on the point that being alone is good. It is healthy to a certain extent. To be isolated from other people for a very long period can't be healthy. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding you. Taking things to extremes is always detrimental. I could be wrong
Regardless of my view concerning this, this is a very good post and is thought provoking. I enjoyed reading it.
You are mis-attributing the extremes. The two extremes are attachment towards society and resentment towards society. Being alone is the most natural thing. It's the moment where you can truly understand yourself. Think of the situation in terms of money. A person that is chasing money all the time will live in vanity devoid of meaning. A person who resent money would starve and suffer in bitterness. But money itself has absolutely nothing to do with these extreme situations. Money is just a medium of exchange which you use to make your life better and easier.
The extremes happen in the attachment- resentment dichotomy in the mind of the individual. Bit of both isn't the solution. You need freedom from both. As @dmwh mentioned, Don't Mind What Happens :-)
Hmmm. I understand what you are saying. Nice analogy with money by the way. So how would this sort of life be put into practicality in the world that we are living in?
Just live your life and go through your activities without attachments or resentments. On the surface level there won't be great differences. Psychologically and spiritually people would be without problems. Just think life without mental troubles or illness. Superficially people will more productive and will waste less time and live without vanity or rat race. People will work more on spiritual development and improving the world through technology. Crime would certainly go down too.
We would live in a world that is at peace and filled with prosperity and genuine care and development for our fellow man. This is so powerful. I wish for it to truly manifest in this world. We are the beginning of that change.
Hopefully we'd see that world soon :-)
Crossing fingers. We are cable. As long as we try.
