'with you, i have accepted more. i have learned to live..without you, i adored nothing'
what love does through some of my favourite letters by Albert Camus to Maria Casares
becoming an optimistic individual
>optimism is a sort of skill. It can be developed or at least polished
>the first thing you should do each morning is go in front of the mirror. Smile at yourself. Say that today, no matter what happens, you are going to win
>daily walks in the sun (touching grass is powerful). This is the most important one on the list for those who work office jobs or spend most of the day inside a cubicle
>finding out what gets you going and sparks your imagination is a must. Hobbies, passion projects, or even running your own business…
>be in the present moment as much as possible. You want to chase the things that feel like they are slowing time down. - breathwork helps with that
>avoiding toxic content and not clicking on cheap clickbait is mandatory for a positive life. Avoiding Reddit and asking for advice is the second most important thing
>replace all of your negative thoughts with positive ones. Positive brainwashing is a real thing. Your natural state should be based on zero negative assumptions and limiting beliefs about yourself
>removing those with negative beliefs or trying to prove you wrong should be done as quickly as possible
>having a routine that gets you a few easy wins each day is key. This is how you build the momentum. "Make your bed in the morning" is not stupid advice, as it may seem at first
>keep close contact with people you care about. This should be one of the main reasons why you are optimistic about the future and what is coming
>learn how to be grateful for the life position you are in. Come up with a list of things you are grateful for in your life (game-changer)

TERRIFYING: Moroccans in the Netherlands are blaming Jews for their defeat and gathering outside a place where they think Israeli tourists are staying. They chant:
“All Jews are fags! Hamas! Hamas! Send the Jews back to the gas chambers!”
Greta Thunberg shared a post that says Israel is planning to build concentration camps in Gaza.
I've mentioned this before, but the Holocaust isn't a unit of measurement.
And funny how it's only the Holocaust. Why don't they ever compare Gaza to the Armenian genocide or the Rwandan genocide?
No, it's only Jews' near annihilation that gets compared to anything and everything, even when those comparisons aren't warranted in the slightest.
