Is it safe to assume that trying to set up one common, objective foundation for all of your systems in understanding and evaluating things in life drives many people in circle for hours on end? I keep trying to find some core, some principle for all my systems to be set on so that they can all be nice, lined up, consistent. My hopes are that they'll all be easier to relate to each other that way and that they'll all become stronger and less disgustingly subjective.
ALL OF MY SYSTEMS ARE FUCKED UP AND IMPERFECT, AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY
I haven't figured out how to cope with how arbitrary everything in life is.
Part of me assumes that I just have to accept it and go from there.
Another part of me demands that there must be some pure, objective thing to go off of, but I can't find anything. Even if there is something, I can't possibly hope to find it, because you can only perceive something subjectively.
Is there something I'm missing, or do I just need to suck it up and stop thinking about it?
Do I just need to pull a "live as you would have everyone live" and mind my own goddamn business beyond that?
I know some of you out there must be dealing with this better than me, so tell me all your secrets.
