Rubber Fetish as a “Practice”

A “Practice” is a rather elusive concept that is a bit difficult to explain.
Thinking of your rubber fetish as a “practice” is a way of giving it Purpose and Meaning.
Happiness comes from questing for meaning.
A “practice” is a quest for Purpose without a specific goal. It’s an exploration in a general direction but without a known destination. You never really “arrive” and that is the whole point.  The ancient Greeks called this “Entelechia“, which means “the drive from within to fulfill Purpose”.
Purpose is different from having a “goal”. A goal, such as climbing a mountain or moving to Buenos Aires has a specific, identifiable ending. When you reach your goal, it is done and over with. In contrast, a “practice” is open-ended. It is “what you do”, and always will. For example, the “practice” of a doctor is to heal the sick, which never really has an ending.

A “practice” is a deliberate, calculated attempt to evolve. It implies forward movement, constant expansion and continual learning. It is the “mountain” that you eternally climb. It is something you work at, a continual striving for personal growth andself improvement in some way. It is a quest… It is your “entelechia”.
To “practice” rubber fetish means to become a pioneer or an “expert” in it. It implies to taking delight in continually exploring all of the uncharted territories and dimensions of your fetish. It means to embrace your fetish as a positive force in your life and find creative new applications for it. It means to continually expand yourself in positive ways through it and to gradually evolve into a larger, wiser, better and happier person as you grow. It’s all about the journey on path up the mountain, not reaching the top.
A “practice” is the search for meaning to your life as a Rubberist. It is your Entelechia.
