@VioIentFemme yeah, i agree. sobriety is overrated, but so is excessive hedonism. finding the right balance is the key to a quality-filled life, i think ~ 😁

“What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity.”

We are way beyond taxing the rich, at this point they need to suffer some kind of grisly fate

[Laura Haase @lauralynn1955]

@maximumpain333 No, I do NOT "accept the situation"...

I tolerate it - as well as can be expected

and nothing to do with "life happening" but everything to do with PEOPLE not *allowing* things to happen!

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Choose your own pace. How you want to live your life. Create your own routines. Your own systems. Things that work for you. Not how things "should be". What works for other people may overwhelm you. What works for you... other people may find that boring. Choose yourself. Choose what gives your peace. Choose depth over noise. Always.

VERY unpopular opinion humans were never meant to be this busy that’s why everybody is anxious and depressed.

I have no use for people who think empathy is a weakness.

Their lack of empathy is a weakness.

It’s a deficit of humanity.

[Nomandla Bobo @nomandlabobo]

Society is in shambles because we’ve really allowed money to take precedence over character, principles and values.

@bonniepetitex When will they understand? People who game are gamers.
Other people being gamers doesn't take away from YOUR identity of being one. If you only consider yourself a gamer if YOU can play supermegaharddeath mode, that's a self esteem issue I hope you can work through in therapy. 💖

This is probably one of the more important pages I have ever read. Carl Jung at 84, one year from his death.

"One cannot do more than live what one really is."

Jung is saying there is no level above being yourself. And being yourself might be the hardest thing of all. Because it means living in truth with what you actually are, including your tensions, contradictions, limitations, instincts, and complexity.

Too often people are trying to become more than themselves, when the people who seem most deeply satisfied in life have usually become more of themselves. More in tune with their own nature. More willing to live their life their way.

Jung believed most of our troubles come when we have lost contact with our guiding instincts... I think that's true. I'm still waiting to find someone deeply satisfied in life who is disconnected from themselves, abandoning their own nature, and living someone else’s script.

Acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the acid test of one’s whole outlook on life.

This page also says that suffering is unavoidable. This is necessary suffering. Life will bring pain and heartbreak. Uncertainty is unavoidable. Grief will show up at your door when you least expect it. Hard decisions will come.

But there is also unnecessary suffering, the suffering that comes from resisting what is happening, refusing what life is asking of you, or not living true to yourself.

That type of suffering seems to eat at your soul.

I have come to the conclusion that it is better to Live what one really is and accept the difficulties that arise as a result - because avoidance is much worse.

Better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to perform an imitation of someone else’s life perfectly.

You can contort yourself, wear every mask, and distract yourself, but eventually you will need to answer, Am I really living life my way?

Modern mass culture, aimed at the "consumer," the civilisation of prosthetics, is crippling people's souls, setting up barriers between man and the crucial questions of his existence, his consciousness of himself as a spiritual being.

—Andrei Tarkovsky

“The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not.”

@sw_holocron Ah well.

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

"Rejoice! The purpose of life is joy. Rejoice at the sky, the sun, the stars, the grass, the trees, animals, people. If this joy is disturbed it means that you’ve made a mistake somewhere. Find your mistake and correct it. Most often this joy is disturbed by money and ambition."

— Leo Tolstoy
