things.
things.
things.

i don't want things. i've decided. i want nothing in terms of products. though i still purchase this shit even though i shouldn't.

things shouldn't define who i am. and in turn, lack of things shouldn't define who i am. basically, it shouldn't be about 'things'.

'clothes' come into mind. clothes are the things which defines people, even though they shouldn't. clothes are the things we indulge in most often and where the large part of ones cash is spent on. we shouldn't need to buy new clothes every so often if the clothes you already own are is good condition. let me say this another way. there is no one in the first world who actually wears clothes until they're worn out, so people shouldn't need to keep buying them.

especially me. i'm a sucker for blending in. i'm a master at blending in, even though i clearly don't. the clothes i wear are the only things which stops people from thinking i'm 'bad weird'. right now, people think i'm 'good weird'. i think if i stop wearing the shit i do and stop purchasing, i'd be an outcast.

writing this makes me realize how much i hate the fashion industry and all the major clothing brands.

this is a pretty-rubbish-all-over-the-place post. sorry for this. something like this had to be written, largely for myself.

good is subjective.

good is objective.

both are different types of good.

objective good is anything that ensures the survival of humanity. such as helping an old lady cross the road.

subjective good is anything that you prefer. it's hedonism. things of pleasure. what is it that makes them 'good'? i don't know. maybe the fact that happiness is the preference over sadness in us, and so you're more likely to find a partner when you're happy and have sex and make lots of babies, and so that's good for humanity? i'm not sure.

the question arises, what's the point of emotions?
