We are at an inflection point, a time of great stress, and during this time, many people - people we know and love - will sink into the mire and identify their entire selves with the constant and meaningless socio-political and cultural contagions of our age. They will sink so deep into this mental-emotional terror-of-all-things as to be unrecognizable, filled with and engulfed by the muck of fear and manufactured rage.
Conversely, many fewer people will see the mire for what it is, and move to higher ground. Those stuck in the muck will hurl fistfuls of it at those who have risen above, they will deride them and attempt to drag them down, their misery desperate for company and enraged at the positivity and light emanating from those on the autonomous plane of existence.
So there is a schism that is both here and growing between those that are sinking and those that are rising. If you indeed have the fortitude, the objectivity, and the reason to rise, you must leave the others behind, for you cannot pull them along with you.
Rather exist in your own way, thereby inspiring the mired to willfully extract themselves, ignore the noise, regain their autonomy of thought, and attain that higher objective plane with a macro view of not only the world at large, but most importantly themselves.
