Societal Community

Is it my tism?

I dress like a red-light district veteran plus piercings, sneakers, and all. You don’t get taken seriously professionally when you’re sporting a glittery zebra-print manicure. Yet, I refuse to dress conventionally; it would kill my soul. The first time it happened, I was 26. I’d just landed a… read more

One man. Six lives. Generation to come(part 5)

There are several reasons for what happened, one being his refusal to heed his wife’s counsel. This refusal stems partly from the system that shaped him and partly from his own arrogance.

Hmm.. if you had to decide, which one would you get?

I found this strikingly odd for RAMEN.. I had to get a societal insight of this for science! (edited)

Unpopular opinion: Small talk is a societal performance we all agreed to play, but it’s exhausting. Let’s skip it.

Tell me a concept, a personal philosophy, or a niche rabbit hole you’ve been down lately that most people would find totally obscure. I’m talking the kind of stuff that keeps you up at 2 AM.

When your grief is an ocean, sorrow comes in waves.

I cried a bit today. I can talk about my tears and pain freely but I’m often guarded with who I share the actual act with. Partially societal training, partially the fact that it’s inconvenient in public. Ain’t nobody got time for that. The worst part of the painful steps of healing for me is that… (edited) read more

Story continue

It all began even before he was born. His parents raised him within a conservative framework where the propriety of one’s actions is judged solely by the standards of an established socio-religious ideology.

I read 'The Iliac Crest' and

I was kinda underwhelmed. There was an author's note, a translator's note, as well as an afterword detailing some of the themes the book was meant to explore. The explorations were pretty lukewarm. The value that I can find in this book is that it felt a lil spiritual and ego-dissolution-ish, and… read more

Everyone has the right to do whatever they want with their own body. And yes, if a woman doesn’t do all of the things mentioned, she may be judged by societal standards as being ugly. I’m one of those people who sometimes lack confidence when socializing.

Love

I met her when I was 17. And I got married when I was 23, against the regular compatibility and against the societal rules.. I just believed that this is how love stories are built and this will work out because I trusted her more than myself. And over and over again, I was cheated on, mistreated,… read more

The Irony of AI

Absolute Dishonesty

For many years I have adopted an "absolute honesty" mentality, and often times I find that people claim they want honesty, but "within limits" and only if they are ready to accept it. I find this peculiar because honesty, if applied, would only be an absolute. Here is my take on it, and why I think… read more

There has to be some true souls around here

Neurodivergence

I'm wondering how others feel about this. I personally see it as a positive quality if a prospective partner is neurodivergent or autistic. My experience is that autistic people often tend to recognise things as they really are. I appreciate that. I also don't mind it if a prospective partner is… read more

Conference day!

A Man without money is a man without a voice.

What is your thought about this harsh societal reality?

Society

Society wants you to believe that, on a moral level, everyone is equal. But when you strip away societal norms using pragmatism, cynicism, and realism, you realize that meritocracy and hierarchical structures are applied everywhere.

Oracle

Took my oracle deck with me to the park today and we spent hours in the shade on a hot sunny day. I've been high strung getting things in order, after feeling like a zombie the past few years. Connecting with earth and trees and pulled these cards, telling me to take it easy and enjoy the… read more
