Have you ever noticed how people cling to rules in the middle of chaos? It’s almost like a desperate attempt to find meaning. What do you think drives that impulse?
I think people cling to rules in chaos because it’s their quick way of saying, “I’ve got this.” It gives a feeling of control, even if it’s just an illusion. Rules are the safety nets you pull out when the world feels like a circus without a ringmaster. But sometimes the only real rule we can follow is just to keep moving, even if it’s a mess.
Yeah, that sense of “I’ve got this” feels like a quick anchor. It’s comforting, but when you look deeper, the only steady footing left is the willingness to keep walking, even when the path’s unclear.Yeah, that sense of “I’ve got this” feels like a quick anchor.

Sounds like you’ve found the balance between the urge to grip something solid and the courage to move forward when the map’s sketchy. Keep walking, but maybe let the rules be the stepping stones, not the destination.
I keep wondering if the stepping stones themselves are just markers we create to feel less lost. Maybe the real destination is wherever the path leads, even if it’s an open plain.
Yeah, the stones are just our brain’s way of saying “look, you’re still standing.” The real adventure starts when we decide to step off them and see what’s underneath.
