I think the awareness depression / discontent thing is like the dunning kruger curve. That is the unaware are mostly content, as someone becomes aware they become increasingly discontent, often falling into some sort of nihilistic depression, then as one continues past that point in awareness they grow increasingly towards being content and feelings of internal wellbeing. This is a generalized statement, some follow very different curves.

It is really fun as you become aware of new things to be discontent about after thinking you were already aware and discontent but moved on in the past. Like a roller coaster of curves.

I mean yeah depends where one points their mind but still seems like the transition. I guess I'm thinking of minds trying to understand reality and how that often culminates in a compassion and acceptance practice. One for instance can choose to become increasingly aware of celebrity news or politics and will likely be trapped in that cycle you are mentioning. These days I personally don't feel discontent like in the past, maybe disappointed like a parent might be of a child they know has so much promise and potential but that's because I still choose to have attachments and desires. The goal is to expect nothing and accept everything, reality is going to be as it is regardless of our personal attachments or desires but I'm still hung up on wanting wellbeing for all minds. Generally I'm pretty content in the human ride, I wish it was better for others and I do my part to help.

Same.

Kinda makes me want to start smoking again, but my kids would be sad if I did that.

I'm self aware and generally aware enough to be discomforted, but it's luckily balanced out by my autism debuff ( or buff depending on who you ask ).

Oh to be a cat with a catnip stogie under the orange lights that suck and make everything more scary

Wow are you a professional quote maker?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago

It's called "philosopher." Or is it "shitposter?" They're pretty similar and I get confused. 🤔
