Everyone wants justification for all the shit they put up with on a daily basis. We go through jobs, relationships, exercise, watch TV and sleep. We create, destroy, define and distribute pieces of our lives. I say “we” because it’s difficult not to believe you’re fighting through your hard times alone.
I think the problem is that we are so limited in the ways we connect with other people. An innate trait is to avoid feeling alone, but there are only so many ways to share an experience and they’re incredibly lacking.
Building on the quality of communication is something I believe we’ll be struggling with for a long time. Technology has made sharing ideas faster, but save for what I see existing in a few elite inner circles, is it any better? Sure, it’s possible to record audio and video of an event, but simply recording what the senses experience lacks the emotion and personal context that makes a memory.
Our memories are what we use to define how we react with the world and they’re definitely not presented in a linear fashion. We need to sort through the mess and apply focus to what want to matter in our lives. Through this, justification will come, but not when you need it, want it, or expect it.
