Transformation

matteoplix:
sepheps
Amir Mazaheripour:
were too caught up in transformations
matteoplix:
kk
sounds fun tho
Amir Mazaheripour:
of course it does, its what we all do every day
matteoplix:
:D / :(
Amir Mazaheripour:
whether its eating a snack, fixing a leak, knitting a sweater, we feel the need to transform the matter around us in order to feel “occupied”
and it seems like things are changing
but just like brostep
its more like a wild, desperate disruption, a forced superficial change in the short term, just to see something different
but in the long term, matter is indifferent to how much you manipulate it
it will still always be there
as matter
staring at you
unsolved
apathetic
transformations are just a game, an act we put on to convince ourselves
a fleeting flagellation 
matteoplix:
yes
wow
matteoplix:
transformation is essential to it all
Amir Mazaheripour:
i basically had this image of like a man with a bunch of “stuff” around him (visualize it as homogenous clay), and like panicking and shuffling it all around, but it doesn’t care, its still clay
matteoplix:
science
AND art
Amir Mazaheripour:
and then i thought “thats the story of every man”
yes
^^
Amir Mazaheripour:
its just an interesting concept
transformation
Amir Mazaheripour:
it seems like one of the few human cultures that hasn’t fallen into it is a certain eastern zen/buddhism/hinduism bent, where you cease external transformation and see the unified world through the self
but thats how powerful it is
almost all other cultures get caught up in external transformation
and while zen/buddhism is the leader, they still are not excused
they burn incense, they need to see certain things transform too
we’re all culprits
transformation is time

without time we all stop.
