I have outraged at the state of the world for very long. Feeling helpless, screaming in a blackhole of indifference.
Now I want to stop. And honestly consider the possibility that I don’t know. May be I have been feeling for too long that others don’t think, or they don’t know. What if they do? I want to consider the possibility, and just listen.
Listen to the podcasters I dislike. Listen to the news I disagree with. Listen to the politicians I hate. Listen to the economists I find crazy.
I want to understand the game they are playing. What if I am judging them on the game I want them to play? Instead of the game they have been playing? Perhaps, they are cringe, immoral, controversial, idiotic and they know it.
May be they are winning because they know what they are doing?
It’s time I listen carefully, stop outraging, keep playing my own game and learn from everyone.
