But what is reality, for whom? For what amount of people? What of those who never hit this "reality" at all? They exist, and a comment like yours is mysteriously never addressed to them, and it's not clear where this personal development would occur or why.
I see this as a good thing. It makes people expect more, demand more, raise issues. Because the issue in the blog is worth raising. Otherwise, they'll just settle for what is. And the is has never been very good.
The cognitive dissonance was from assuming that the world was fair, but you make this mistake as well.
Reality is malleable and changes constantly, one day your core skill is learning how to throw a spear the next it's how to manage computers; it's all rather unreliable and it differs very strongly depending on where you ended up...
- pdimitar 8y agoBy "reality" I mostly meant "what is statistically often found almost everywhere" -- sorry for not clarifying. By saying "when reality sets in" I mean to say "when one day nobody can carry you through life anymore, including your luck from previous phases, and you actually have to work really hard for a fraction of what you barely worked for before". And yes, reality is maleable. That's both very good and very bad. As for me assuming the world is fair, definitely not! The world is anything but fair...
