True Gratitude is not some trick. Trick in which you talk yourself into being grateful and feed that brain with serotonin. Gratitude is recognition. Recognition is consciousness. Gratitude is consciousness. Gratitude is recognition. Recognition of the fact of being alive, the experience of existence, recognition of What-Is. To be conscious is to be …

you didn’t earn it you took it
You didn’t earn it. You took it. Stop implying a sacrifice. It’s a choice. To even imply a sacrifice is to make life harder. Why does there have to be this dichotomy? you earning it / you not earning it you deserving it / you not deserving it you making it / you …
Dichotomy of “Following One’s Passions”
Following/ Not-Following one’s passions must be the most inimical false dichotomy there is. To follow one’s passion indiscriminately is to unawarely set oneself for a lifetime of failures and mediocrity — statistically unlikely ending with a miraculous success. To NOT follow one’s passion at all is to live a life of defeat, meaninglessness and …
Honesty / Meanness
Honesty can appear as meanness but meanness can never pass up as honesty – as some would like to believe. Is it integrity, valiant shielding of the truth — or is he just a mean person? Insecure person? Ambitious person? Angry person? If truth can’t defend itself then who are you to defend …
Effort To NOT Be Inauthentic
Outside inhibitions stifle inner expression. Authenticity may require reconstructing one’s entire method of communicating with the world. This can be arduous. Don’t confuse arduous with inauthentic. You’re not arduously trying to impress somebody. You’re arduously trying to STOP trying to impress somebody. Trying to stop behaving in a preordained way. One is so …
Warning About Virtual Reality
Some time from now we will have rehabilitation centres focused on RE-WIRING the utterly NUMBED brain and healing the FRIED synapses — from the years of electronic overindulgence. I will continue to rant about this because virtual reality is 100% a drug. It’s addictive, extremely pleasurable, it’s CHEAP, it’s an EASY escape— and it’s …
School System Is Fragile… Broken
School system is fragile I mean it’s not fragile because it has broken long time ago Whatever benefit may there still be in school – it is bound to be destroyed – for it is fragile. School is a top-down system with little interest in the creativity of an individual and …
Invalidating The Rules
Invalidating the rules is more beneficial then validating them. There is no benefit from validating the held truths. Modus operandi stays the same – and so do the results. There is everything to gain from invalidating the status quo. Including better methods which lead to better yields. When you’re entering uncharted territory …
Broken Men Can’t Fix The World
To one who knew too much suffering — it’s only natural for him to bring more suffering. You call it revenge or you call it justice — it’s just revenge. For every blustering “hero of justice” there’s some kid that’s been bullied, some young man who has been mistreated. Alas broken men can’t …
You Can’t Buy “Success” And “Happiness” At Once
You can’t buy “success” and “happiness” at once. It’s almost impossible for both to happen at the same time. “Happiness through success” is the most preposterous idea there is. If you want success — get success. If you want happiness — BE happy. Anything-through-something-else is just distraction. Not unlike you will have to …
