Creating Problems That Don't Actually Exist

So, originally I was going to make a post complaining about how I'm bored with women. Lately I've been feeling somewhat blasé about the whole dating scene. None but the most attractive and interesting women really give me pause anymore. How it's not much of a challenge anymore, how I've read most of the literature, how I know where I stand and where they stand, yata yata yata...

Then I took a step back and asked myself, why is this a problem?

I'm generally reasonably happy with where my life is and where it seems to be going right now. I'm casually dating a few decent girls, none of whom I'm crazy about, but I enjoy their company and the sex. I've got friends, my needs are taken care of.

And that reminded me of a nasty character flaw that I've been working to subduct: I have a tendency to create imaginary problems just to have something to spin my wheels about.

I don't know if any of you other guys do this from time to time, but I wanted to post this as a reminder to check perspective before getting too worked up about something. It might actually be trivial when you consider it from the broader perspective.

That's all :)

We all have it. We in this together.

It's a causality thing. I firmly confident that we as humanity need to change end goal to progressive end goal. Because once end goal is reach, we become complacent because there's no replacement thought.

Which is ironically the existential crisis we have in the 21th century.

We need faith people. *Smash someone's head onto computer screen*. (In case you wonder, I am refering to a scene here: Under Siege)
