I have had enough of this modern world where there are no strong feelings between men and women and most importantly among men.<p>Everybody seems to just be doing their job which is essentially being a infinitly small cogwheel in an immense and intricated system.<p>I miss the strong sentiment that I had towards people when I was a younger, both the friends from high school but also the enemies from high school, those who want to steal your girl, those who always try to bully you and you have to rebut both methaphorically and physically.<p>It seemed like the only thing that mattered were the friendships and the rivalries within the school. No worries about the economy or jobs or cash runaway, mostly no worries about the external world.<p>All the informations that we are constantly bombarded by have propelled lots of economic growth, but also they water down every emotion and sentiment because there is always another place to go or another option to explore as far as romantic partners, friends and ever rivalries are watered down because of the abundance of informations and options makes it so that nobody has to stand their ground anymore for anything because there is always the option to find it elsewhere through a path of less resistance.<p>I think the way we talk towards the 3rd world and uncontacted tribes with this sense of superiority is unwarrwanted, because sure they might have little to no stuff, but for sure they have strong sentiments toward one another, because of the aforementioned lack of stuff, and also much lower life expectancy, they have to make things happen in a very short time and in conditions of extreme scarcity, hence bonds and alliances are formed and dissolved on a daily basis. Friends become enemies, and viceversa in a constant waltzer of strong emotions.<p>Us on the other hand we experience next to nothing emotionally because of the aforementioned watering down<p>So the question after the rant:<p>How would you guys solve the problem of lack of strong emotions towards other people which spirals down into lack of strong friendships, lack of strong rivalries, lack of romantic partners that you really care about ( not just a girl that you pick because you don’t want to be alone) ?
Have you considered talking to a therapist? It sounds like the problem here is you.<p>It’s not desirable to have enemies, why would you wish that? If you’re doing something that some portion of the population disapprove of, that’s one thing. But to be upset that you don’t have enemies really stupid.<p>If you don’t have any close friends who energize you and you feel close to, maybe try being more exciting yourself? People are probably bored shitless if you.<p>There, I insulted you. We’re enemies now, stay up all night thinking of witty rebuttals and have strong rivalries!
Young and immature people experience strong emotions and attachments because they haven’t learned how to control themselves. The “strong sentiment” and intensity of feeling you miss came from youth and the unique environment of school.<p>Most people grow up and learn to get along in a context larger and more varied than school. Most people learn how to moderate and master their emotions. Those who don’t will struggle with immature behavior.
