lyrics

in the context of modern times, perhaps the doomer feels a heightened alienation from the world, because the internet compounds the weight of social pressure and a sense of detachment.

however this experience of alienation and despair is not unnatural, nor without value. rather, one must walk deliberately through the mud of life, realizing that there will be ongoing pains and challenges in their self actualization, and, instead of turning away from them, lean into them and face the sufferings head on, developing themselves and their personal meaning, no matter how uncommon or hard it may be.

by inviting suffering in and recognizing it as an opportunity to develop wisdom and resilience, we utilize it as a method of creating our own purpose and greatness. in the fundamental pain and meaningless of life, we must not find ourselves with an indifference that renders us lethargic and paralyzed away from caring about anything, but rather an indifference that inspires us to create meaning, and care for things we deem enjoyable and engaging.
