Have people ever called you unworldly? People have called me unworldly multiple times lately. This Sunday my family asked my opinion about the new leader of France. They mentioned his name but I had no clue who they were talking about. They all laughed at me and called me unworldly. I wasn’t surprised by this reaction, to be honest. People like to feel superior or smarter than other people just to boost their ego. They even mocked me a bit but I can’t blame them, I was like this as well. But I changed over time while I was learning some life lessons. I still think that last year was one of the best years of my life and it’ll only become better and better.
I learned to stop making excuses and that alone makes life a lot easier. I could grow as a person and that’s something that most people can’t do after a certain age. So I’m going to prove that most people aren’t unworldly. Some just have an obsession that takes over their whole life. This makes sure that you just don’t care about anything else. Most people just don’t get it. Or they don’t want to get it. That’s another option as well.
Unworldly or just stuck in life?
The finals are coming to Belgium and I hear more and more people complaining about the fact that they have to study. They hate it and they stop doing as soon as they’re out of college/university. They mostly get into dead-end jobs which don’t require a lot of brain capacity and in this way, they’ll slowly become dumb and a lot dumber. These jobs keep you busy but they don’t make you grow. These people are mentally exhausted because they’re bored. They just watch the news as they come home and the same television shows over and over again. That’s how most people live since they don’t have a clue about what to do with their free time.
My days are packed. I don’t want to watch the news since it’s almost always the same. Plus I don’t want to fill my head with dumb things that don’t benefit my life. Your brain capacity is limited according to most people. Why would I fill it up with things that I can Google anyway? I have no clue who rules France but I can Google it any day. Is this being unworldly? It’s really fun that you know all of this useless stuff but you will never get beyond the level of small talk.
Unworldly? Really?
I mentioned to my family that I could Google the French guy’s name but they laughed even more. They feel extremely educated but they’re just reproducing facts. They assume that I’m dumb because I dropped out of college. But the worst thing is that they still try to convince me to go back to college to finish what I’ve started. Let me share with you a quote that will be beneficial for the rest of this blog post.
Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think- Albert Einstein
Most people can memorize a lot of facts but they’re victims when it comes to living. They make extremely poor choices and can’t deal with problems at all. They keep on making the same mistakes over and over again. This is something that I noticed while I was doing temporary jobs. These people were unable to reflect on their situation. They said that they didn’t like the job. They nagged about it but they didn’t do anything about it because no fact teaches you how to do it. Plus they’re trapped in their comfort zone and they like it.
I guess that you feel cheated by life, don’t you?!
Unworldly? You just need an excuse to be lazy
Most people have split the week up in 2 parts: the week and the weekend. They do all the stuff they’ve got to do in the week and all the stuff that they want to do when the weekends arrive. The problem is that most people want to be lazy. There are times that I’ve seriously haven’t got a clue which day it is. It doesn’t matter since I work every day and I look forward to being active every single day. I live in the now instead of the future. You could get a lot more out of life if you just realized that your free time is the most precious time there is. Use it wise since it shows how smart you are. Most people haven’t got a clue on how they should spend one day in solitude.
So how can you have a meaningful life if you can’t have a meaningful day? You’re not having a meaningful day if you’re catching up with your favorite reality show. You’re just trying to escape reality by watching those. I’ve heard a lot of people who claimed that they liked them but there’s another reason why they watch them. They’re bored and are looking for a way to deal with the fact that they’re bored. Nothing more and nothing less.
Unworldly is just a made-up word to keep your part of the herd
People want to make you believe that being “unworldly” is an extremely bad thing. It’s simply because they don’t know anything else and people aren’t fond of people who act differently. I know that there are happening a lot of bad things in the world. I’ll never neglect that but I don’t have to see it every day. It’s been like this since the beginning of time but people didn’t know about it since they didn’t have newspapers. Their lives went on and so do ours. You can complain all day about the fact that something terrible happened but you’re just wasting precious time. You’re going to die eventually so why would you waste your time on useless things or information?
I seriously don’t get it. Well actually I do but most people don’t want to hear that they’re braindead. Their ego wouldn’t be able to handle it. They also can’t handle the fact that someone is more successful than them. They believe in talent while others believe in hard work. Can you guess which one will be the most successful? I assume that you know the answer deep down inside. You’re afraid to face reality and that’s why you like escapism.
So what can we conclude here? Unworldly people haven’t lost their ability to think. Oh, and Google is your friend when people ask you for some meaningless facts. Don’t you ever forget that?
