summary

Our goal in life is to completely experiance and understand our reality.
However it is impossible to do this imediately because we only experiance our reality in fragments. One of the most important things Freud contributed to society is his demonstration that an average person is nothing comared to what the person could be.

We barely know ourselves mentally because we dont remember exxact memories and dreams. For our bodies, we only know enough to know when we want or need basic things. Beyond that, we barely know ourselves at all.

The only way we can fully appreciate things in life, we first have to unlearn the way we’ve been taught to live.

Many don’t realize how, when we fall asleep into a dream we forget our real lives as quickly as we forget our dreams in real life, showing how the way we exeraince things ins always the same and not very deep. We are just as alienated when we are awake as we are when we are asleep or unconcious.

What we consider normal is something that is barely a fraction of what things are really like when they are “normal” because we are so separated from the actual experiance. There are two different types of alienation. The normal alienation which is someone who’s just like everyone else who’s experiancing all the same kinds of alientaion, and that which is labelled bad and crazy by the normal people.

Society tries to make us all these “normal” people with the same traditional alienation but those “normal” people are also the ones who have killed millions of their fellow normal men. Even these normal people are all flawed.

The way we behave is simply a reaction to our experiances and how we see things. If our experiances are limited and destroyed, our actions will be the same.

Because we get a limited version of our experiance, we then loose sight of our deeds and purpose in life, and if that is taken then we are no longer a functioning part of humanity. We are all equally able to change eachother and have a positive or negative impact.

If we don’t fix the way we are living than we are going to destroy ourselves. The way we are experiancing is not opening up our way to view the world but closing it.

Because we are limited in our experaince, than all the other aspects of life suffers and we are less than what we could be. But each new child has a chance at being better because it is brand new in the world and innocent. It has not yet been taught these destructive forms of “experiancing” life. So all hope is not yet lost.
