It is said that when we are born we have to sense of self. There is only the world and unity of everything in it. As we grow older we begin to realize self. We realize that we are individuals just as everyone else are indiviudals. This is the source of our emptiness. Since we are diffrent from everything we need to establish who we are. We do this by seeing what causes people to react postively. "He is simply aware of the mother and what she thinks about him. If she smiles, if she appreciates the child, if she says, "You are beautiful," if she hugs and kisses him, the child feels good about himself. Now an ego is born. Through appreciation, love, care, he feels he is good, he feels he is valuable, he feels he has some significance." (Beyond the Frontier of the Mind, Osho). We learn to get the responce we want from people. By getting responces from people it shows us that we matter. If i realize that when i say hi to a person they ignore me, but when i say good morning sir i get a responce, i am more likely to start saying good morning sir because it gets me the responce i want. Becuase of this coolness is hand in hand with our ego. We need to show people what kind person we are. We are the smooth chill guy, so we do what ever we need to to project that image. The basis of cool is getting the responce you want. If you want people to look at you and think you are chill, you will wear untied nikes with a hoodie and a tilted fitted. while if you wanted people to think you were classy you would wear suits. You get rid of the emptiness inside by feeling significant. To feel significant you need people to see you, act as though you matter. Cool is just a way to get people to get the responce you want from people.
