(Almost) Foolproof Method to Survive The Banana Republic

It's about the contrast of truths. There are various truths in the world and I have seen the worst of them, and when you see the bottomline the so called good truths don't really matter for people like me it's the same phenomenon like you put shit on a cake and it becomes inedible. One's got to carry on though, in a very existential manner. When we live in a setting where your personal and family history can be altered just based on the whims of some assholes who are not only idiots but also incompetent there is not much left in life anyway. All that remains is earning, taking care of family and having fun. Having fun is important, whether you are an atheist or not, be a modern day Charvaka. Entitlement is a real phenomenon and more often than not it is incurable, humility is for the weak or so the general consensus is in the entity that rules this country. Beauty matters shit anymore, but I like aesthetics and I'll do my part in preserving the aesthetics I like. I remember the times when things were cool, but then I also see the Gen Z enjoying their version of cool. It'll be curious to see how the Gen Z of India would adapt when reality of this country hits them, though most of them have already adapted but it would be curious to see their adaptation when the adulthood pressures build on. There are islands of time in this country, past and future coexist along with keeping people in the lonely penal islands of their own minds. I have cracked the code and I realise that bottomline is your family, money, your work and your interests, this is the bottomline and anything other than that is a privilege including friends and community which can be destroyed anytime based on the whims of entitled and yet somehow magically incompetent assholes. Though the suggestion is to try to build a lot of formal, symbiotic, give and take relationships and acquaintances and not letting them become informal or close relationships. The existence in this country at present both at the physical plane and at the psychological plane, excluding the common people who are just trying to survive, is about dealing with mad dogs. They need to be put down but the difference in power dynamic won't allow you to do so. It's a criminal syndicate moonlighting as providence and there is not a thing that you can do about it except trying to save your own ass and your whole life (hopefully not) might get spent doing so. Here is the trick, fall back to your interests and hobbies or if you don't have them, develop them. Recreation is important and in absence of meaningful relationships, destroying or sabotaging which seems to be the goal, they would come in handy. Existence of God is impossible except when you have found him or her within you or are manifesting him or her through your faith and belief. It's a mediaeval setup in its essence masquerading as fate with embellishments of science and modernity at the top layer and unfortunately most people fail to see beneath the top layer which I think is better for their own sanity. Never abandon your personal truths, they are as valid as someone else's truths but also acknowledge if they are delusions. Truth however ugly it might be is blissful in the long run and knowing the truth of the world would let you create beauty in your own life as well as in the lives of your loved ones. It's a banana republic and so even though you must have love for the land and the beautiful common folk, don't forget to put your hammock between coconut trees and sip your piña colada. Nothing is foolproof here and people are randomly selected for slaughter but we gotta do the best we can to have fun until it's our turn.
