I mean, i'm not saying i'm enlightened either. I've just come to realize that almost every piece of media has only two factors of it. One is the antagonist are a "higher being" who keeps trying to control the main characters or side characters, and the happy endings are all the good characters working and laughing together and go against the powerful higher being, and they live happily ever after.

After rewatching Captain Underpants, thats when I caught up with that mindset, as humans we're only here because of others and for others. No matter how much someone tries to be a fake god, they will always lose, whether it'd be dictators or Mr Krupp.

Coincidentally. I watch every single country for the World Cup enjoying each other, sharing food, breakdancing, getting excited over yellow school buses, Scottish people putting traffic cones on statues, etc. At those moments, no one is predator-prey, no one is weak and no one is strong, everybody is just dancing with each other.

Its the unchecked egoistical and controlling nature that still in our monkey brains since the stone ages, the dopamine hit of being able to control a person or people hits just as hard as social media doomscrolling. I've traced back not only my problems, but my friends and familys problems all from a vicious cycle of other humans thinking they're better than everyone else for being able to control someones desires, vulnerability, fears, etc.

It feels so bittersweet being able to safely hold everyones fragile vulnerabilities and fears, I'm disgusted at people who keeps smashing these fragile boxes. Its nice to know I'll try my best to not control people. At the end we all just want company.
