Commitment in a world of friction

In general i like to think that the content i publish is contributing positively to the larger sphere of human thought and sentiment. Which is something i don't wish to taint because it lines up with my life's underlying theses. This makes things seem like i exist in a flower patch untouched by unfavorable circumstances. I'm obviously human and as is par for the course i experience friction. Which i mustn't complain about as an alternate friction-less world would become dystopian faster then you'd like to admit. All this sounds fluffy because the world remains in the midst of the friction it seems absurd to think that is is itself necessary. It doesn't matter how necessary the sun is when you've been walking in the heat longer then you can count, with no oasis in sight, it all feels like a joke and your the punch line. This is a perspective disconnect because no one is actually making jokes and if they were you'd be the only one capable of laughing. The friction is motiveless merely a force indifferent to your existence, as with any force with enough energy it can be overcome. This energy can be accrued from a slew of sources, you can have a million reasons why, but more important is the level of commitment to them. You can want to "make it" with all your being without commitment and consistently recommitting it wont matter. Which is dreary because the friction will be too great for the vast majority of people. I say this in part for the audience but more so for myself. Every single day i push and while i have some good underlying momentum i'm still struck with friction and feelings of absurdity. In these moments its my commitment that is the determining factor. I started with some hesitance only because the majority are uncommitted and will find this to feel like pressure and friction; but those with minds made knee deep in friction will find there oasis and i'm sure ill see you when i find it.
