Summary
In the grand scheme of things, we are just tiny specs that will one day be forgotten. So it doesn't matter what we did or how we'll be remembered. The only thing that matters is right now. This moment. ― BoJack s3,ep11
Mimesis:
The sole purpose of life is to live in the moment, not dictating your actions based on what would please others. If we strive to live a wonderful life we would need to get rid of this negative outlook. Therefore try to live life without regrets, eventually everything we do will be forgotten no matter how impactful it was, people will look bypass it. With the life we're living now people tend to forget what actually matters. We as humans leech onto the idea of embarrassment, of “oh what would so and so say if I did this”, the feeling of embarrassment is too much to handle. But we can't get away from the idea.
Reflection: I saw that I was catering my writing towards the quote, my “ideas” weren’t really mine in the sense of I was fixing what was coming out to fit the idea of the quote. I felt like there was sort of a restriction.
Hormesis:
As easy as it sounds, It’s difficult for some. I would have to say I fall in the majority. To find people who have such a degree of confidence out there is slim. We live in a world where we find “happiness” , we please others, we find validation in others words. There’s such a fixation to wanting to please others, where we want to accept it or not that thought will be in the back of our minds. Wanting this sort of mindset would be a gift. To not fear the unknown, wouldn't we all want that.
Reflection: I was able to digest and soak in my thoughts, giving them time to settle. I realized that I was able to “freely” compose myself, use my own thoughts and not have as much of an influence as the first time around. With taking a cold shower, the method i used, i was able to clear my mind and allow me to think back based on memory.
