I am in a weird dilemma
    #19244031 - 12/08/13 08:56 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Me and my best friend have been room-mates since 2005. We just never fit in society at all. We started our journey with watching every possible movie under the influence of booze. Every night for like 3-4 years we'd get drunk and watch and analyze films. We wanted to be in the movies..change the system.

Then he went to the United States to become a director and I went to Canada to study screenwriting. There he experimented on a much higher level than I could ever imagine. I did weed and mushrooms(once). He tripped on Peyote in a desert, had a bad trip inside a theater in LA and had to be escorted out by the cops.

Then we came back and moved in as room-mates again. The cycle is started all over again except now its weed instead of Alcohol. We just sit the whole day watching movies, watching the news, criticizing society. And I love these moments. We make sense. We feel like we are creatures of higher consciousness. We tripped on LSD for new years last year. We are into Joseph Campbell's mythic journey, into Ahahuasca, into finding some sort of spiritual closure.

But what this is doing is that it has ostracized us from society. From "normal" people doing everyday talk. It just seems trite. I am still in a better position as I do have other friends and even a job I go to ocassionally. But he is completely shut off. Everyday seems like a haze but we welcome it. Whats worse is that he is engaged and the girl is pressuring for marriage in some years.

On the one hand I absolutely love these moments. I know I will never have that connection with anyone. I plan to start my own community when I return to Canada. I have a business plan of starting a floatation center and revolve my friends around it. Basically I want this connection with a whole lot of people(people like the ones on this forum). I will have 2 flotation tanks and a coffee cafe and just start a group.

But right now I am distancing myself from my friend. Day by day I am becoming more distant and pretty soon plan to move out of the apartment. What this would mean is the end of our friendship too.

Paths diverge. Everybody goes on following their own path to happiness. It is completely normal to lose friends along the way and make new ones.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary here.

Yeah. That sounds all very deep and meaningful. But do you realize you're just two bummed out dudes sitting on a couch all day watching TV? Do you realize that most people, even on this forum, would say something along the lines of "get the fuck out of there and DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL!"? And they're right, too.

Criticizing society is a cheap shot. If that's what you like to do, then step up to the plate and start changing it.

and this

It is the way of life to meet people, grow close, and then grow apart. Each relationship has its lessons and teachings. Maybe you'll stay in contact with your freind, and maybe not. Regardless of what happens, take what you have learned from the relationship and apply it. The universe requires your participation.

Right.

My stepbrother and I tripped while each speaking into a microphone. We were convinced we we being so deep and sensible. We solved the worlds problems.

The next day we we anxious to listen to the tapes.

We sounded like a couple of tools. We made no sense.

I suspect neither you or your buddy did either.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

OP why dont you take those hours you guys waste away being "deep and knowledgeable" while you're watching movies and actually go and write a film?

Then he can direct it.


Starting a floatation business is stupid. Youll have a better shot living a sustainable life as a screen writer than as a guy with several floatation pods for the niche group of 4 people in your community.

"Harsh" would require different terms.
