The lone wanderer in a empty crowd

The downside of a hyper-individualistic society, where the priority is one’s happiness, is that it leads us to believe we should pursue one’s own appetite.

You could look at retail therapy as a temporary fix. But after a while, when one awakes, all they will find is a closet full of Nikes and an emptiness in oneself the size of the Grand Canyon.

We struggle to get out of our way. But rarely do we examine why we got here in the first place. Each path leads to nowhere extraordinary. But few paths lead to peace. And yes, it is often the less traveled path.
