Contra on nostr

The reason some people can't stop working is not ambition. It's that they don't know who they are when they stop. The work is holding the identity together. Rest threatens it.

This is not sustainable and it usually announces itself in a way that's hard to ignore when it does.

It's in part the creature comforts and false sense of dignity for having a clean looking house, not for god; but for their reputation to others and themselves, to appease vanity. Never live beyond your means, after all you can't take any of it with you when this ends.

As the identity begins to fracture it also threatens every other structural belief about the world. It’s terrifying, deeply unsettling, and with no promise that there is anything on the other side of that process.
