Stories build a bridge between meaningless actions and meaningful results. Between a gap of potential flies a spark of action.

Money is like reinforced concrete for meaning structure. Very scalable, strong, keeps people busy, etc... but also very easy to make everything into grey blocks.

If i’m chopping lettuce at a fast food chain, this meaningless action can be made more meaningful through story. E.g. connecting it to making people happy or saving up enough money to do something else.

Notice how money can be used like a nexus? Same as cities. It’s where you go to maximize potential. To stand at the crossroads and see hundreds of doors open to hundreds of other doors. The eternal “????”

The act of “seeing” itself is meaningless. Like watching a boring documentary. But “actual” reality always exists beyond limited sense capacities, like a bottomless pit.

There is always potential for sparks to fly. To connect from the seeing to the being.
