  • 26. Your life is a flat circle
    Time is a flat circle.  This means that our lives are plagued by monotonous repetition. Everything and everyone is trapped in this loop. No matter who you are, what you do, or what you have done, the cycle of repetition is the same for everyone. 
    There is an awesome quote at the end of the movie "A star is born" that says
    "Music is essentially 12 notes between any Octave. That is it. 12 notes and the octave repeats. All an artist can do is offer the world their own interpretation of those 12 notes. I think this captures the essence of the podcast today. All our lives are plagued by repetition and routine. And should you become aware of the mind numbing loop you are on, the question then becomes - Suicide or Coffee
     According to the book of Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun. Everything that ever was has already been. We humans are indeed doomed to make the same life mistakes over and over again. The difference will be context.
     So, if you are self aware enough to realize that your life, your existence is a goddam repetitive loop. So i ask you. What will you choose when you wake up tomorrow? - Suicide or Coffee
