but its weakness is that you can crash. if your heroic vision of self becomes too out of hand, the entire vision pops and collapses and enter a depressive spiral. you psychological credit score is too low and ur brain won’t allow you to project heroic visions anymore

hooman society as it is is not capstoned by communion with the divine and so its redemption quests are open ended and infinite. a hooman society can never offer u enough money or love or w/e it is u think u need. eternal treadmill until death by heart attack

the only alternative is death by ooga booga. (hint: i climbed a tree and have seen that ooga booga is just death by peloton until heart attack)

dog society may or may not provide u with what u need depending on your subconscious reaction to the question “does a dog have a buddha nature” cat society will just slap u in the face so don’t go there.
