@tosinbunmi12@hospillo@PureMinD__@AW_Fayemi You’re right. The faster we can sell the products. The better for us. Because the profit margin on it isn’t much. Also consider dpr licenses and union levies and tax. It’s not just black and white
@AsebiogeBode@PoojaMedia Bro I have a Lexus and a Camry. One time I decided to travel with the Camry, the amount of discomfort and all the road noise was horrible. Luxury is not vanity please. I started appreciating the Lexus more and the technology it has.
You've hit upon a profound observation, one that resonates with many of us as we navigate through the different phases of adulthood.
There's a certain kind of synchronization in our early twenties. We're all grappling with similar challenges - graduating, landing that first job, building relationships, trying to make sense of the world as independent adults. There's a collective uncertainty that, paradoxically, unifies us.
As we cross into our late twenties and early thirties, this synchronization starts to disband. People's lives diverge along different paths, shaped by their choices, circumstances, and even a fair share of serendipity. Indeed, life begins to appear as a spectrum of varying success stories - some seemingly ahead, others lagging behind, and a good many somewhere in the middle.
This divergence often triggers a psychological dynamic called social comparison, a theory first proposed by social psychologist Leon Festinger in 1954. Humans have an innate tendency to evaluate themselves in relation to others, especially those they perceive as peers. When life trajectories start to differ markedly, social comparison can foster feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and isolation.
It's important to remember, however, that such comparisons usually fail to account for the complexity and uniqueness of individual life paths. Each person's journey is shaped by a unique constellation of factors – family, culture, personal values, ambition, luck, and so much more. What appears as 'ahead' or 'behind' from an external perspective might not align with the person's own perception of their progress.
Moreover, as you rightly pointed out, these diverging paths necessitate a reevaluation of our relationships. We find our circles evolving – some relationships deepen while others fade. This is a natural process as we seek connection with those who share and understand our experiences, aspirations, and challenges.
In the face of these changes, it's crucial to cultivate resilience and self-compassion. Remembering that everyone is fighting their own battles, often invisible to the outside world, can help mitigate feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Celebrating our unique paths, rather than comparing them, can lead to a greater sense of fulfillment and connection.
It's a journey, not a race. As life unfolds and diverges, we must strive to appreciate our own narrative, acknowledging the ups and downs that make it uniquely ours. A sense of perspective, empathy, and compassion - for others and ourselves - can make this transition not just bearable, but enlightening.
@InternetH0F I used to pluck fruits in the wild to eat at a point of my life. Go inside the bush and find a paw paw tree and pluck some then eat them for a few days. It sounds like a movie but that was my life. I was such a miserable wretch and homeless also. It’s really crazy
