quote
“With all the madness in the world, it is difficult to imagine what the point of everything is. When we grapple existential questions, we are left with no answers, but the futile acceptance that there is no meaning in life. When faced with existence, the question does not become a means to answer what should or could be done, but what would you do now that this situation is given in front of you?”

quote
“In a selficated society, you feel free only when you are never free. You are being negotiated constantly to become your own master and slave at the same time, a project-maker and meaning-maker of one’s individuality with the exclusion of others except one’s own activities. It becomes a society habitually wanting itself for itself and by its own volition to stoop within the confines of self-interest.”

“Each chapter in Part 2 covers a specific month in your journey: ● What to eat ● What to focus on ● What to expect ● What mindset shifts you’ll need Each month builds on the last. We go from detox and cravings to discipline and strength. By Month 12, you won’t recognize the person you were when you started.”

“In a selficated society, we assume the worst about an individual’s reason for existence, not about the best of what that person does.”

“We are why we are. In life, nothing is guaranteed, but even nothing itself is not guaranteed. Purpose, as it stands now, is the only force that shapes what our 'nothing' constitutes.”

“As everything stands now, the purpose of life is a life of purpose. Our purpose is to search for purpose as we now know that we are still incapable of producing the answers that we seek, so the best course of action is to enlarge our scale of consciousness while we delve deeper and enrich every aspect of our lives, most especially our relationships with other people.”

“With purpose comes the implication of power. It might even be that purpose is power. With the rise of the self-help industry, purpose is being seen as a positive light toward self-fulfillment. As purpose is a tool, people are using it in a way that can satisfy themselves and only themselves.”

“A life of death is the death of life. We do not know what comes after death, but in the context of life, we do know that when we die, our loved ones will miss us, and we can never be brought back to life ever again.”
