The Opinions of Others

Scenario:

Picture a world like the one you live in, but from now on nobody can ever see other peoples identity. You cannot experience other humans with your senses. You live exactly the way you do right now, but from now on no other humans identity appears.

And everybody else has this same scenario.

So, the world functions as it does today, just that there are no other humans for the rest of your life to experience.

There is now nobody to impress, argue with, love, converse, no experience of others, no laughing, no angry humans, nobody to see your success, your failure, nothing.

It is just you, and the planet.

Do you still want to impress others?

Do you still want to work hard to achieve something?

Do you still want a high-end career?

Do you still want to become a professional athlete?

Do you still want to build your body to look good?

Do you still want to drive around in a sports-car in town?

Do you still want to buy a penthouse?

Do you still want to talk behind someone’s back?

Do you still want to have opinions about good or bad?

Do you still want to care about politics?

Do you still want to read books to gain knowledge?

Do you still want to have a masters-degree?

Do you still want to buy an expensive purse or a Rolex?

Do you still want to live in a city?

Do you still want to….

If no one cares about you, and nobody can see you or have any opinion whatsoever from now on,

Would you live differently?

If so, then ask yourself, why are you not living that way today? What drives you to live the way you do? What is stopping you?

Would I have posted this text?

Pretty interesting, isn’t it?
