I've witnessed so much injustice and deceit in my life, and it used to move and frustrate me deeply. Now, I've realised that I can acknowledge it, feel it, and let it go. My life is lighter. I only act within my sphere of control. If I can't control it, I let it go.
I never thought I would find myself vibing to metal, but this one brother introduced me to Sleep Token, and the song 'Chokehold' is 🔥.
Often, if we knew the true difficulty of a task beforehand, we might never begin. Yet, it's this very optimism—bordering on delusion—that fuels so much success, combined with persistence and a bit of luck.
It's not so much that one should not feel; feelings are a way of life. The problem lies in rumination and believing your made-up thoughts. Our minds never say 'I don't know' when it comes to trying to help us cope with our emotions.
Honest criticism about some parts of the world will be lower in the next few years. Especially on social media.
I will know I am free when my only criteria for what to say are: is it true, is it ethical, and is it worth saying. Right now, I have more considerations to make, so I have not yet fully earned my freedom.
Building software for Windows is a true test of the soul😡. The wish is for me to do it at least once without complaining.😅
There's so much BS to bust in the world. Future generations will laugh at some of the beliefs we hold today, as advanced as our world is.
Fears and desires: the most powerful forces in a person's life
The idea of government as a service provider is really appealing to me. Taxation feels like being shaken down by a powerful mafia that is not accountable for how they spend your money. In such a system, the individual is never truly sovereign. The Prospera model is the future.
Dealing with AI for fixing coding bugs highlights the issues with proprietary AI models. I recently had an experience where a model deleted other models from the code, even after I explicitly instructed it not to. These tools should not operate with such an agenda.
I found this fascinating to listen to. Now I have to listen to the whole thing.
The ladder conspiracy 🤣🪜
Trying to make all of life cater to your preferences is a recipe for misery. I am learning to be okay with life doing its own thing. The only aspects I will focus on controlling are my internal state and my responses to reality. I am dedicated to love, productivity, and joy.
The reason 'follow your dreams' is so enticing is because of the assumption that achieving your dreams will give you the expected reward: happiness. My experience, however, is that this is seldom the case.
If you're into drumming, you may enjoy "El Estepario Siberiano" on YouTube.
I am amazed by how Michael Jackson's music still resonates today. I was driving home from school with the kids and played 'Smooth Criminal' and 'They Don't Care About Us.' They were really vibing with it.
I waved to the sun this morning, haha. It felt silly but gave me so much joy.
I heard this quote shared from the Atma Gita, and it just touched me. "That man who has tasted the bliss of the Self, May move among objects of sense without fear; His mind never clings to the world's misery; His heart is with God and his soul is made free."❤️❤️❤️ I love it!!!
If you're okay inside, you can live life more fully. When you're not okay inside, you keep looking for things outside to make you feel okay. This shows up as consumerism, social media addiction, etc.
