nihilism

 Absolute reality has no utility. Stories and colored perspectives are to make one draw him/herself into the narrative and derive some purpose out of the attachment; the human brain can't harness the wholesome self into a tool for a purpose otherwise.

Theory Vs practice. The dichotomy that runs because of this inability of the being to govern by abstracts or dry logic (logic, by it's nature itself is dry!). 

In that sense; if I have dried (the human) self up into a crisp of functioning as a mind rather than the wholesome, how am I to engage with the world that comprises of beings who are governed with emotions, stories, theories and such constructs?

guide for the future.

When working for survival (driving, maneuvering people, earning) or when engaging thoroughly in a purpose.. I feel alive. No stress. Clean energy. But when dealing with larger than the (aforementioned) life, the luxuries, the excesses and embellishments.. there is a 'wow' at the moment, but the next moment is filled with emptiness or regret. is that because I am in a third world (India). or what is happening? When I engage in an activity after activity.. and use the faculties to attain it in optimal, perfect (as much as I can) ways.. I keep sharpening my mind and body.

That is a good life (opinion/perspective as of now).

There is a voice in the head that says this will consume your time on earth and you aren't realizing it.  There is also a voice in the head that says this actually is the right way to live.  Works of great authors await my attention.  Tempus fugit.  Nothing (really) matters.

loss of innocence

 when a girl is expressing love which means she relies on me for her happiness, emotional well being and support; it used to be a high for me; now it is seen as an 'oh yet another responsibility'. what changed? the female charm (for the biological male in me) is the factor. Once it lost it's novelty (experience of one or two females in proximity) then the costs for the same is also revealed. So it becomes a cost vs benefit analysis. the reading of fiction. Shared real life experience from friends. Social media. All this are the reason for the loss of innocence about married life and such. Even extensive reading that helped think farther than what it warrants for the current phase of living (decadal phases, lets say).   On one hand, this is seen as a disruption. On the other hand, it comes as a clarity and helps put things in perspective so that there is a thorough awareness of what I am, limitations (ephemeral nature of life) and refusal to participate in time consuming ...
