@tathagatorc.bsky.socialCertainty is emotionally comfortable. Doubt demands work.
That may explain why a confident half-truth can travel further than a careful explanation.
The loudest person in the room may not know the most. They may simply be least troubled by what they don't know.
@tathagatorc.bsky.socialThe most dangerous cage isn't always built by others. Sometimes, it's built from all the reasonable explanations we give for staying where we no longer belong.
Not every bad situation is a trap. Sometimes, it's a choice we keep defending.
@tathagatorc.bsky.socialThe internet taught us that attention is currency.
It forgot to teach us that where we spend it is how we spend our lives.
Every scroll is a tiny vote for what gets another piece of us.
@tathagatorc.bsky.socialYour absence from someone's life may hurt them.
Your presence may also hurt you.
We are taught to fear losing people.
Perhaps we should also learn to fear losing ourselves while trying to keep them.

Perhaps we're simply uncomfortable
with answers that don't give us
the ending we wanted.
Not every question is waiting for closure...
Some are waiting for acceptance.
