It's strange how the one redeemable thing that is so pushed within the programming of modern society, the power of friendship, family, and generally the power of keeping your word is seen more as a negligiable guideline or something that is so unimportant that it comes second to an almost ubiquitous urge to just lie, no matter how important your word was to the person you gave it to.

At times it seems like we don't even speak a common language, we communicate with a surface level facade with confused, idiosyncratic babble underneath - connect at enough points of the molecule and you might hold together briefly, but the factor of cohesion through collective values just isn't in the pudding. Cohesion through manipulation and emotional or hierarchal blackmail seems to be much more successful.

I think that the main ingredient that is missing is the concept of self, the deeper kind. The self-concept is lacking in that we don't abstract these things as a part of ourselves anymore where we ought to and the unseen part that promulgates lies is a much more important faculty than the one that tells the truth. We value our word superficially because we live in a very superficial world, and are not equipped to think of our ability to keep our word as an extension of our character - and whenever you do, you are seen as autistic or get taken advantage of.

I think it is noble to atleast try and think of it as your own arm or leg, but that is just lost on most. How can anyone preach self-love if they let such a thing rot?
