Excuse my curiosity. Do you think learning and experiencing new things is not an important aspect of life? Or maybe you just have a different definition of growth than me?
A life without would be stagnant and boring to me.
I believe where we differ is the degree. I do still learn new things for fun and whatnot, but if there is ever a time I am NOT doing that (besides work, sleep, or helping society as a whole in some other way), I’ve been conditioned to feel guilty. Like, if I’m not growing at all times, then I am personally spitting on the graves of all my ancestors
That “growth” is inherently a good thing to do and if you aren’t trying to grow as a person everyday then you’re not living ‘correctly’

I think growing/expanding your experience in life is good, but ya, I definitely don’t agree with that definition, that’s intense.
Can’t even “grow” when your parents destroyed your self-confidence.
Eh, you can circle back through nihilism into absurdism, and wind up in a place close enough to self-confidence to actually turn into it eventually.
Ask me how I know.
Have you considered growing past that? /s. Stupid joke aside, wholly relatable for lots – including myself – i imagine.
the industrial revolution and its consequences. also the enlightenment, fuck those guys
aaah. the morally of cancer
One of the best takeaways from the Wizard of Earthsea books. Ambition can be poison.
