One should see an artist for their art, and not boycott them for their political views. This I figured after learning that almost all artists are left-wing, feminist, neo-marxist morons
Talk to yourself like you would talk to your loved one. If your loved one has had a depressing day, would you help them whine about it, or you would tell them everything will be alright and that tomorrow will be good?
Whether you believe in Deity/God, Intelligent Design, Simulation Hypothesis, or Order-In-Chaos, it makes you a believer. We're all believers
Humans NEED beliefs to function
And that's okay
We want to cling to certainty to maintain sanity. But isn't it saner to be certain about a more refined view?
There's no better way to refine your view than to open your mind to a differing viewpoint
It would require you to loosen your hold on certainty for a bit
Worth it
In desperation dumb mistakes are made. Whether it's persuit of women or wealth, if you are desperate you won't get it
If you really want something desperately, try not being desperate about it if you want to have a shot at getting it
The more you imagine the positives of something the more your mind will be drawn to it, and will eventually compel you to make a move towards it - even if you know it to be an unwise move
Lesson in there
You can't argue with a rational person, or prove them wrong. The pertinent question to ask is, is rationality serving you well in having a good, happy life?
Never be confined to an impression. Keep breaking impressions by constantly showing new & unexpected qualities of you until people can't understand you and give up. They'd be charmed by then
Women love being called 'sexy' but when men tweet with her pic 'would bang' they're all outraged, not realizing it's the same
'Sexy' literally and essentially means 'inducing sexual urge'. If I call you sexy, I'm saying I would like to have sex with you
A famous meme says that if you want something with all your heart, the universe conspires to give it to you. I don't know about that. But if you *work hard with all your heart* to achieve something, then it does seem to be so
If you are not working on acquiring new skills apart from what you need for your current job role, you're not even trying to grow
Treat every day at work as preparation for the next levels
Societies led by women are heading towards bankruptcy of masculine capital. And women can't sustain complex systems, much less develop them. When these societies collapse, I wonder if there will be enough masculinity left to rebuild the structures
Hence, I believe "empowerment" ...
If you can't be in company of people, something may be wrong with you. If you can't be in company of yourself, something is SERIOUSLY wrong with you
I heard somewhere, most of our problems arise because most people can't spend half hour alone with themselves
Try this: When your gf asks you to help her with something, tell her half jokingly to touch her forehead to your feet and request saying 'please'. Tell her you'll only help if she did this, and actually make her do it. Dominance training
Attitude influences perception and perception determines action. Actions determine outcomes and outcomes influence the quality of life
In short, as many have said, attitude is everything
Romantics are at the same time the most and the least experienced souls, in that they spend extraordinary passion with extremely narrow focus on the ideal, failing to ever learn it's unachievable by design
If atheists think they have the truth, they couldn't be further away from truth. The Reality is incomprehensible to the human mind
I'm no believer in God, but Simulation Hypothesis is more credible than randomness. The existence is stranger than we can imagine
The God delusion is only one kind of delusion. Atheists are no less deluded in other areas. Humans NEED delusions
Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion) thinks Donald Trump is crazy. There's your deluded atheist!
Don't waste failure, learn from it. Failure and negative feedback offer the best teaching one won't find anywhere else
Being roughed up by life is a positive experience, though it may not feel as such. Provided you extract lessons
SPEAK LESS TO BE EFFECTIVE. The optimal amount of speech in most situations is less than one thinks
Err on the side of speaking too little rather than too much
Inertia fuels depression. Make progress, even if only slightly, everyday. Collect little droplets everyday without any higher aim, and you might still end up with an ocean one day
Working woman is never a good idea. Nothing is more harmful to marriage than a working wife
Men and women both may have stresses in their respective roles, but neither need to take on the role of the other
That women are encouraged to be men and men are encouraged to be women i...
Everyone likes to think they know what they're doing - until the reality proves otherwise
This is not to mean one never knows what one is doing, but never be too sure
In the rare cases when they do, women CHOOSE to provide for their family; they're not REQUIRED to. Men don't have such a choice
When a woman can't provide for her family, she's a woman. When a man can't​ provide, he's not a man
