What should i do now ?

What should I do now?

There’s a lot I don’t understand about myself, and it seems it's getting worse with age. Paradoxically, the deeper I got into theory the less interested I became in the details of my inner workings (which is yet the most important...). I’m not sure why. It isn’t because I arrived at any great insight, for sure. I still experience the almost visceral sense of puzzlement over matters of my mind and selfhood that drew me to the field. What happened, I think, was a shift from one preoccupying question, “What is theory?” to another, “What should I do to cope with?”

It left me less inclined to bother about self-understanding and making business than to consider the value of things, metaphysics, moral and aesthetic. How best to live? But here’s a nagging thought: might those two preoccupying questions turn out to be one and the same, like the evening star and the morning star? Thanks to Paul Broks about expressing myself about all that.
