You can be an individualist, like you talked about. And see wrongs in everything from religion, to government, to nationalism. And everything in between.

In the end, we all make up our own mind on our own. Be glad, that you are a free thinker and have that intuition, to dig deeper and think critical about things.

I also see myself as a free thinker, to some degree.

-You could fight poverty. (If you haven't already.)
-Or go and make $ millions (If you haven't already?)

Why?(And this is a bit long.)

The thinkers, they will continue thinking. The talkers, will continue talking.

People do, what's in their nature. Sure, upringing is a part of it. But it's not all of it.

Why not enjoy yourself instead? Be like everybody else. Instead of thinking like a rebel(I hope I don't offend you.) that you live in the wrong era. Or that, how the western world, have developed in the wrong way.

What do you want instead? The 60s, the 50s, maybe the 20s?

A tribe in Africa?(Or somewhere else? No joke.)

Maybe 1800s or before that? Do you like hard work? Because that's what you will get when you take away everything we have been give during the last couple centuries.

And, especially, from 1900 to now or so.

And, I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm saying that the way you think, will not do you much good, in the long run.

How can I think that?

I used to think almost exactly like you. Everything was wrong. What if we had no "government", what if people stopped being brainwashed by the "news".

And so on.

I read a bunch on philosophy forums.

After a while I just laid down the axe. I had come to the end of a road. And when I started to stop caring about all the things that bothered me.

My life just became better.

It's up to you. How you do it and sees it. But if you strive to grow as a person.

You need to feel, if, philosophy and thinking like this. Is truly in your nature or not.

That's my advice to you.

You could start by taking a personality test. To see if this is a field and the type of thinking. You should live with, for the rest of your life, or not.


I think I will write a book about this, some day: "Kill The Rebel Within: Do What's in Your Nature The Most!"

(Or something like that.)
