When I was younger and I heard the saying along the lines of "struggling against the indifference of the universe" I didn't realize at the time it included people too.
Life is complex. You probably don't optimize your life in a way that some other person would be shocked you're not doing.
And they probably optimize their life in a way that's invisible to you.
Yeah. The indifference of the universe is perfectly manageable. It's the indifference of people that broke me... I'm starting to question every principle I've ever had.
