Welcome to the new reality of humankind.
We see it everywhere.
Entrepreneurs chase “success” without defining what success means to them.
Wealthy people chase more wealth without defining what “more” is or why it is needed.
Spiritual seekers shop for spirituality without knowing what they are truly seeking.
Doomscrollers numb themselves with scrolling without knowing what would actually heal them.
Influencers scramble for reach without knowing what they are here to offer.
Longing ones search for the perfect partner without knowing what they truly need.
Families try to impress their social circle without knowing what they actually want from it.
Citizens hallucinate change through elections without even knowing what a manifesto is.
So my humble question to humankind is this: If everyone chooses randomness for themselves but demands precise outcomes from others, isn’t that irony?
Don’t mistake this for revolution or guru-speak. It is simpler than that.
Imagine a close friend calls you and says, “Hey, I’m standing in front of your city railway station. Which way should I go, left or right?”
Your first question would be: Where do you want to go?
That is all I am asking.
Where do you want to go, why and how do you want to get there?
