There are many things, attitudes and ways of living which people adopt and leave as per their needs and wants.
I am not being Nostalgic, I mean, I find the feeling of Nostalgia as disgusting, But objectively speaking, I used to be a Nerd, a textbook nerd. In my school days, I used to be an avid reader in Academics. Here, I am going to self-reflect on the fact that there have been changes in ways of my living which I do not consider good for me. I need to revive the Nerd in me.
I used to ask seniors how to study. I used to run after books and tried many books and which helped me a lot. This behavior, although was not liked my friends, or in general people who knew me, and probably this led me to change.
But this is where Adhyatman comes in picture. It tells you precisely how the society wishes to exploit you and gives you agency whether you really want to change or not. And in my opinion, not every change is for the better.
I lost my Nerdiness and got what? Some attention from women? Some validation of acceptance by friends? Some socialization? I spit on these things. I don't care. These incentives are not worth changing my basic nature. My basic nature is to keep my head in books, enjoy what I read and so on.
The main reason why Nerds are not respected in society is mostly because people are jealous of their abilities. Their patience levels, and their peace of mind scares the average idiot on road.
I think it is time to make Nerdiness great again. To hell with that people think. To hell with women. To hell with social validation. To hell with socialization. I want to read my book. Nothing matters if it is not written in print.
Do not tell me not to read if you are an illiterate. In my opinion, if you are not reading a new book every week, you are illiterate on a weekly status. Similar to how Weekly status of unemployment is calculated.
I am a Nerd. The place where I live, of course I do not belong here. Which literate, well-read man will belong to a place of idiots? No one! But I better find my place in books. Nerds are required but suppressed. I am a Nerd, and I own it.
