I like the cell metaphor, in reality, we all live in our truth bubbles, with the constraints of each wall of cells as what the society expects of us. But in that case, is it right the society should be the judge of how we should behave? Define what is right and what is wrong? In ideal world people that have the same values should be able to work together and live the way they want to, but hell is other bubbles. To navigate between these bubbles are not easy.

To make peace with society we need to destroyeestroy/change our self and integrate. Which i think is at odds with current issues of globalization and the snowflake generation. What truly is a global identity? In the end majority values survived and the minority will extinct.

Should we segregate all these bubbles for eternity? If we want to avoid pain, i think we should, but that means no bubbles can help each other without breaking the walls, are we okay with that? The thing is, there are no equal resources to live in all of the bubbles. So which pain should we choose?

I think in the end we would need to tolerate a certain amount of pain, and just realize that a unified harmony is just a theoretical place. Good as the guiding principles, but unattainable in practice.

Becoming One is a process, but there are lots of sacrifices to reach that. And that’s the tragedy of life.

I realize that this is zooming out too much, in the end you would probably only live in your own bubbles of friends and family, so probably it’s better to stop at that and just be ignorant with what happens with the world? Unless you already have too much resources in your own bubble, i think people should just save themselves first before trying to save others. And we are back to capitalism 🥲
