Things get worse the more you realise

[Surai]

The more you realise that we are all animals. In everything we do. There was a moment in time where I had looked into the mirror and for a moment I had realised that what I was thinking at that very moment was just what my animal self wanted. What I was doing was merely what my animal brain sought for. And I had paused. Nothing I am doing isnt for myself. And that sentence that I had written just before became clearer than ever. That all I these things that had thought were my own choice were really what I had wanted to choose. And Im chained to this animal pulled as they lift their arms and drag their legs pretending like I had wanted to move that way like it was me all along. When it really was just my animal self all along. We arent as free as we think we are. We are this animal that has to eat and sleep and shit, and reproduce. And maybe not the last but the body will make sure you cant ignore it in anyway it can.

I hate my animal brain

 

[kunikuzushi]

I've been too aware of this the past 7 years because I've spent every day just tending to these stupid animal needs. I haven't done anything productive, haven't created anything, haven't contributed to anything, barely used my brain. Just eat, sleep, bathroom, clean myself, sex. Everything is for myself.

i refuse to believe this
i am this ghost which writes down the thoughts in my head
my body is completely dependent on me, and a slave to me
once i choose to kill it, and actually do it, it will die
there is nothing my body can do to prevent this
what is this immaterial me?
only God knows all the secrets of this world
