At least you’re moving those brain cells a bit now, Mr. Therapist. There’s nothing depressing about understanding basic human interaction.
Attention, you might cry fallacy now: Even a guy who was on top of 3 careers (my boy Arnie) recognised that he was nothing like a self-made man and everything is a combination of work,luck, collaboration, opportunity. See how far you’d get on a desert island :)
Your plastic bag metaphor was amusing, but not for the right reasons, and the exact opposite of what I’m saying. Be careful with that therapy stuff. I wouldn’t trust you.
Since you’re into philosophy now, you should look into the fact that free will doesn’t even exist. Where does that leave your beliefs? Did you learn about people fooling themselves with comforting, self-serving illusions in therapy school?
What a depressing view of people.
As a therapist working with a philosophy of individual empowerment, and seeing it work every day, I’m glad to have my view of life.
It’d suck to feel like we’re all just like plastic bags being blown about in the winds of fate!

It’d be fascinating to see how your choice to take this view has shaped your life!
My life is rather boring (safety!) but full of loving people.
Edited to add: my view alone didn’t shape my life. There are uncountable factors at work.

I’m aware that some people choose to take that view, which I find ironic!
