Would you consider that a good or bad thing? That nothing could change you but yourself. I mean, it sounds like something I'd perceive as a positive trait but when I read it, it felt slightly negative. I think my contradictory views are based on my tendency to view everything from as many possible angles as I can and compare them all until I can't comprehend my own thoughts. I analyze things until they don't make sense anymore and wonder if I've been wrong all along.
"..if I start by stating my philosophical conclusions they would be thought complete nonsense by the average listener, so they will not care to listen any further to something that seems of no benefit."
I seem to have this same problem though I've always blamed it on my lack of speaking/explaining skills. I've never thought to blame the listener..or maybe I'm not as advanced as you seem and it really is me.
So, kind of like: if you don't know what you really want, life appears to have a purpose of figuring something out. Then do you believe that ignorance really is bliss? That ignorance is what makes the world seem worthwhile, perhaps? When it possibly has no purpose at all..that seems a tad bit depressing, actually.
When you put it that way, I guess leaving behind the ones you don't relate to seems perfectly logical.
I'm not sure, I think everyone wants everyone to be the same (although seem to "encourage" diversity). I can't wrap my head around living without money. I know it's possible to survive but only under harsh conditions. Everything costs something and there's so many things that aren't possible without technology (to an extent) and..I guess pulling away completely isn't exactly what I was going for but for the most part, maybe? Ugh, I'm sorry, I'm awful at sharing my thoughts. I think too quickly for my ideas to be accurately dispensed. But I agree with the fact that the improved inventions of today aren't much better that the originals.
The sense of freedom you speak of is what I think life should be like. I just don't know how it would be possible. I guess that's where ignorance would come in handy.
PS. Sorry for the piece-y response; I find it easier to focus on one idea at a time. And also for apologizing in most of my replies. :
