The Ontological War

In the past, I may have been looking in the wrong place to find people who would be interested in realself ontology and in increasing their degrees of realself.

I started my ontological quest when I was a young adult, and I think probably everyone else does as well. But for many young men and women, as they think about ontological questions and experience ontological emotions the adventure becomes too difficult or painful for them, and they bail out and go back to being their socialselves in the socialself world.

What this means is that I shouldn’t look to adults for increasing realself people because it is quite possible that many if not most of them have already turned away from their realself and realself life. And once they do this, it is unlikely they will ever be able to turn that decision around and move forward again.

So, perhaps the search for increasing realself people should focus on those who are old enough to think constructively about their ontological emotions and ideas, but are not so old that they have failed, given up, and fooled themselves into thinking their alienation from themselves, from others, and from the world and life are all right, normal, and healthy.
