The weird psychological shit is what really trips me out.
I guess you gotta look out for number 1 but it's weird, like is all
compassion fake? I've often felt that I don't feel as strongly about
other people as I should, not to say I'm not compassionate, and when I
see a problem I want to fix it and make it ok, not like I enjoy
suffering, but it has struck me that other people seem more
heartbroken about things which don't happen to them than I think I
feel. Finding out about the autism was a relief because it gave me a
reason for always feeling on the outside looking in. But then this
makes me wonder if maybe I'm not as strange as I think I am. Maybe
everyone really is an asshole, other people are just better at
pretending to care than I am. And when placed in a situation to not
care about others, they just don't. Maybe caring is just an
obligation of the social contract.

My brother always says, alone, naked and hungry is all the universe
really has for us. Everything else is just what we have set up for
ourselves. Depressing and empowering.


And just to whore it a little longer, here is the video I worked on for the last year.

The camera work and directing was me, this was my first time behind the camera and as a director.

The story was a collaborative effort with the band and the editing and heavy CG work was done by Shan.

it's empathy i'd guess; something i've never understood in common usage. you sound a bit like me. i've always considered myself practically empathetic (like really there if you need me) but lacking in the day to day commisseration department which is how life seems to play out from my view. for instance, from my desktop here, i think i'd absolutely tried to help that climber. maybe that's easier said than done but it seems like a no-brainer.

for whatever it's worth, i just found a test and scored amazingly (to me) low.

sometimes i do wonder if when people do things out of caring in compassion its because they like the way it feels... that satisfaction. but if it is i think its the lesser of two evils.

i could see climbing everest perhaps... i mean leave a mark on this world or die trying i say
