I'm not religious, but a lot of what Buddhism teaches tends to resonate with me; suffering as a result of desire/attachment, the impermanence of things (including people), the promotion of goodwill and compassion. I can't help but think that modern society is diametrically opposed to those values, though. Is it possible to adhere to a philosophy that essentially teaches you to reject wanting? Craving/wanting is like the main thing the current system is built around.

imo 💯 and yes. ultimately it’s ab aspiring to be self aware. what the words mean are subjective and on a spectrum. when you want something, you are focused on what you don’t have, what you aren’t, and what your aren’t doing. you aren’t self aware. you won’t give up wanting to be able to save up enough money for a very cool and safe new home for your family. when you have expectations that something will go well, and it doesn’t, that is also attachment, and will become a self reinforcing cycle. i love this quote.

I love the optimism but there’s so many layers. I feel like the deeper you go, the harder it gets to square the philosophy with the current meta

well that is why it is an aspiration ;) like sisyphus we roll rocks up the hills. buddhism is ab non duality. its not hot it’s not cold it’s just temperature. same w the attachment. you can’t take it too literally. have to think ab it as a way of being. and ofc it is hard. especially in a society - and an industry we are in — so focused on consumption.
