Heh.. ya that's only in a dream world though. =) Apparently, though we were all supposed to be like this right now but, the society is reducing our true potential as humans.. making us work like robots and not think about how to become a great person. That's definitely true.
Nah I just think that every person has to reach that kind of enlightenment themselves
And the fact is, not everyone will.
That's partially true in that it prohibits you taking certain "free" actions and things that would help you improve yourself and become a great person sooner. However, a big part of society/working is also teaching us to be resposible for our own actions and to learn how to care for things that are not ourselves (eg: wife, families, homes). There are definite lessons to be learned which life beats into you in slow painful ways.
Overall, I strongly agree though. Unless you are continually looking for mental stimulation, taking advantage of your spare time, thinking deeply/analyzing even while busy, then you will not reach your potential. More importantly though, you need to realize THE MEANS by which you can utilize your full potential.
The other fact is there are plenty of types of people who lack the influences and catalysts to aspire to bigger/broader thinking, and flatly, a lot of people who lack the intelligence to become self aware. That is, objectively self aware enough to process and adapt from the OVERWHELMING AMOUNT of knowledge via sensory input received.
Again, the sick part is, since no one has your exact experiences/background/mental states, no one can drop it on you. You have to process it all, like Alex was getting at.
A sad truth that advice is useful in an inception kinda way; people rarely EVER do anything major based solely on somebody else's opinions by the time they have reached adulthood. Even when you've reached or seen glimpses of "enlightenment" (is the correct word but has wacky connotations to people who don't understand what I mean) it's still soooo hard some days to keep focused on it. You cannot possibly know enough ever, you cannot always be purposeful and focused, you cannot be the calm center of the universe internally and externally all the time. The human condition is ****ing infuriating.
