I saw this really interesting psychologist guy talking about this subject. People who are super into politics and manipulation and power games actually don’t understand it when you have no interest in playing their game. It actually screws with their mind and they can’t understand how anyone could not be that way. And the fact that it confuses them so much is what really boggles my mind. For some people to feel that their reality/worldview is legitimate, they always need everyone else to play along too. And this is precisely the subject I would like us to reflect on today. ¿Are you interested?
Yeah, part of life is learning how to interact with authority figures. First beginning with parents or guardians. Then continuing into school and work. Probably, also in the military and other hierarchical groups. And yes, most people adapt, but some will always be rebels who fight authority with every ounce of their beings. But never out of whim or pure spirit of contradiction. But rather because they know very well who they are and truly value what they have. Authenticity is something that not many people do have or value.
¿Are you a people pleaser?
So in my peculiar opinion. That of an old man with enough experience in life. I'm going to give you a healthy and wise advice: ¡Let go your attachments! In fact, lose your attachments altogether if you are a mature adult. And don't try to please anyone anymore. Especially if they don't deserve it. Because otherwise, I assure you that you will regret it sooner rather than later. As soon, as the next time you look yourself in the mirror.
So, be authentic!
¡Be a misfit if you can!
