Just a thought I had

I was bored, so I started analyzing my past philosophies
one of them was transcendentalism
for those of you who don't know, it is the idea that you should "transcend" or rise above the circumstances of a situation to make the best decisions.
Sounds like a good idea, right?
keeps you from making enemies
keeps you happy and what not.
However, I also used to feel really distant from people.
At the time I wasn't sure if it was just by paranoia of them or what.
But it wasn't until lately that I started to connect it with the philosophy of transcendentalism.
I used to think it should be used for everything to find a solution for any problem.
But now I'd argue that's not true.
It's effective when you're listening to someone's problem and being objective,
although it should not be used, in my opinion, to solve your own problems.
You could debate wither or not being omnipotent is good or not, but you should experience life and indulge yourself in the struggles that present themselves in front of you.
Do it with gusto!
Fiery passion!
Emotion!
carry the experiences with you in your consciousness, and with each experience gain a bit more of who you truly are until you achieve full self actualization!
I don't know about you guys, but nothing pisses me off more (and I am quite difficult to piss off or even anger) than not knowing how I would react in a situation.
Anyway, food for thought,
have a lovely life.
