Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 75 (3.14.75) (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/hoffer-eric/11110/

CLIMBING DOWN
#Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.
He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.
That is a very different thing.
The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.
No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.
Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.
His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.
Water does not need to win.
The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.
And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.
The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.
But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy
Simple living is not automatically #holy.
Low status is not #awakening.
A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.
But a life without #comparison ?
That is #freedom.
Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.
Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.
