Every tiny thing we think, feel and do is caused by an idea. They capture and enslave us. It’s really interesting to use that filter when dealing with other people. It’s not their ‘personality’ you’re dealing with, it’s their different degrees of slavery to certain ideas. Their beliefs. Their beliefs will determine what makes them happy, sad, angry, horny etc. Why I agree with Spinoza, that the only true meaning of life, the only path to true joy, is understanding. To free ourselves from slavery to ideas. I never wanted a career, I just want to understand. A career is just another idea/belief.
