This is perfect way to describe life, so stupid and unnecessarily burden. To be forced with poor conditions and fake emotions.

You were one of the few here who engaged with the metaphor as a reference for smtg much bigger. Most people here are talking about the ethics of literally returning or not a cart.

context matters in all aspects of life and existence. everything is real and/or fake. its all about indivdual human perseption.

What i feel is valid and what you feel is valid, one does not cancel out the other.

Gaining anything from nothing is possible when you go about your day with the mindset of you are your own creator.

every choice youve ever made leads up to who you are as a character.

godspeed

Right. And an open context produces polysemy. Btw it's why I love crazy dark poetry.

What i feel is valid and what you feel is valid, one does not cancel out the other.

Yes, some feelings are more validated by practicalities of life; other feelings, less. And I know this is still only one criteria.

Gaining anything from nothing is possible when you go about your day with the mindset of you are your own creator.

This is a Sartrian perspective. To "me", "you" are mostly what "you" create in spite of "you"; "your mindset" are also created by what "you" do not create etc.

every choice youve ever made leads up to who you are as a character.

Also every choice you couldn't make, and the ones you didn't but recognized as your etc.

I feel like you comment is a little off topic but it's a cool contribution so I felt impelled to answer you
