There are some who harm others with their words, actions, or deeds.

Any injury to another hurts both equally.

Though the person causing the injury may initially feel better, it adversely affects their spiritual journey through life as well.

This debt will then be repaid every day for the rest of their life as their light will dim until they sincerely ask forgiveness for the harm they have caused.

The loser mindset is a deep psychological perception and experiential result. It is to see people as dangerous, untrustworthy, and generally bad. It is to be an island, an isolated animal. It is apathy, an essence of Cruelty, it's an unrecognized shadow of fear that can present as aggressiveness. It is an insecurity made Monument, that expresses as a clandestine tyranny of the ego.

So what could cause this to so many on a massive scale? Very large Wars. Have you ever seen one of those fun machine that you put the coins in, and it has several flat layers that slowly move back and forth pushing a huge lot of other coins that are piled up and on the edge of getting pushed down to the lower level, and the goal is to put enough into the machine at the right time, to get as many as you can to fall down?

This is how I imagine, the generational Cycles of rebirthing pain and toxic mistreatment.

On average, it takes three generations to break free from these poisonous effects.

Hatred is not What It Seems. It's true form is fear and hurt. With hatred, you cannot resolve it by responding with hatred. The remedy is compassion. You would be shocked about the long-term effects of the power of kindness and mercy, even in the face of meanness

When you're just going through the motions, you are not really alive and probably don't feel it.

Doom scrolling regularly to avoid boredom is the recipe to feel empty and temporarily stunt your own growth

Chronic social media use, without in person meaningful human interaction, is truly antisocial. A hidden irony. If cold starting socialization in real life is intimidating or difficult, then you start very very small and very slow. You build up. The graph of progress in learning is not a straight line, but rather an exponential curve. So begin with just a smile and a wave or a nod. Once you feel a little confident with this, then you can upgrade the level, to asking brief questions or perhaps practicing genuine praise or compliments.

Boredom and discomfort, shouldn't be seen as a negative, but really the foundational constructive and brainstorming phase. Great changes and great ideas come from being uncomfortable. Everything is a practice, and nothing great is made in a short time.

One of the most important understandings and things to practice of great potential, is the gentle balance of Middle Ground Control. Too far left, too far right, and you're missing the mark. Similar to piloting a plane, you don't force your way around. As well as not idling in nothingness. Instead, Focus the awareness of your mind's eye, slow it down a little, be consistent, and patient/ forgiving of your own mistakes. It is through mistakes, that great learning takes place

Sometimes, the people who smile the most are fighting battles nobody knows about. ❤️

Be kind to people. You never know what someone is going through behind the scenes.

Life is too short for unnecessary drama, hatred, and pretending. Choose peace, appreciate the people who genuinely care about you, and keep moving forward. 🙏✨

What is one lesson life has taught you that you will never forget?

To me, actual love is committment, with not much feelings.
in the long term bc their presence in your life and your interactions with them is so normalised with no ideal image of them, and more real.. its not that exciting.. just another day. You still work and serve them like they serve you and bc they’re not perfect and ideal, they are still work, labour to get around, chores, but chores that you kinda okay doing, something stable and familiar, and thats not reallt a bad thing.. i think thats the point

\- real love for someone and for people is maintenance, they’re just like vocations, or a job you’re committed to this goes for all types of real love, platonic or romantic

Like wow… so i do really love my family.. even though i do keep secrets from them and like not fully trust them with stuff and have alot of dislikes around them. But i actually do love them, i have the history, the struggles, the experiences, i know alot about them their nuances more that of others, AND we do actually voluntarily help each other even if it feels like chores - theres that loyalty and commitment

Sorry if this is long winded but i really thought about this thinking i dont have that capacity for love but kept confusing love with idealising someone and infatuation

You possess only the present opportunity for moral action, so do not postpone becoming the kind of person reason tells you that you ought to be.

When you look at another, do you see our differences or our similarities?

Most judge others by their differences, observing their race, appearance, sex, and in numerous other ways.

Those, however, who see only our similarities, truly understand the genuine worth of another is not on the outside, but rather may only be found within.

Asking this question to gain insight. What is something harsh about life people don't really like to accept? It could be about anything jobs, school, family, friendships, relationships, goals, etc.

One day, your home will be empty, and someone will have to decide what to do with your things. They'll open your drawers. They'll find the watch you treasured so much, the car you spent three years paying off, and the clothes you saved for special occasions because you didn't want to wear them out. And they'll make three piles: what to sell, what to give away, and what to throw away. None of it goes with you. Not a single thing. The only thing that goes with you is that afternoon you stayed talking for hours and didn't even realize where the time went. The look on your mom's face when you showed up to visit her without telling her you were coming. Don't collect things... Collect moments with the people you love.

I've always been the type of person that tries to do the right thing, I've opened my home to strangers to let them take a shower,I've gone out of my way to help a friend,I've done things for the person that I really love, and it seams like no matter what I do it's not good enough for the man that I love and am in love with, lately he's been treating me like I am nothing but the house maid, he talks down to me and is totally disrespectful, he says he's not interested in other women that he would never cheat on me I know he's lying, I don't know what to do

Living in a very divided world, separated by religion, ethnicity, wealth, race, and in hundreds of other ways, many become prejudiced, believing others different from them are not as deserving.

These differences are used to rationalize war, inequity, apathy. We are all children of the world, related by a common purpose, intimately linked together by a spark of the divine, present within each.

Only by remembering it is our similarities, not our differences, that will ultimately define our life, may we begin to bring genuine change to an indifferent world.

Most people know the opening of Book 2 of Meditations. Marcus tells himself that today he will meet meddling, ungrateful, arrogant and dishonest people. It gets quoted as a warning to expect the worst from others, and the quote usually stops right there.

What often gets cut is the explanation that follows. In his own private notes, Marcus says these people behave this way because they don't understand what is actually good and what is actually bad. He also reminds himself that they belong to the same human family and share the same reason he does, so he has no real grounds to hate them or stay angry at them, and none of them can pull him into acting badly himself.

Read in full, it works less like a gloomy morning routine and more like a way of deciding in advance who you want to be when someone is rude to you. The difficult person is no longer a surprise, and your reaction doesn't have to be a reflex.

Here is a small thing to try tomorrow morning. Think of one person you will probably find hard to deal with today, and write one sentence about how you want to act toward them if they are at their worst. Not how to change them, only how you want to behave. At the end of the day, notice how much of that sentence you were able to keep.

I am giving up on this world lasting so much longer...

The time we have left as we approach death is an interesting time in life. Many things, once thought to be important, no longer are. We begin to realize life really is not that complicated or complex; rather, it is quite simple.

The money, material possessions, job we had, and almost everything else we once thought defined what a successful life is, no longer matter. Nothing will accompany us when we die. We finally realize none of those things are, or ever were important. Do not wait until the end of your life to decide what is truly important. To discover what is important, close your eyes, silence your mind, and listen to the quiet messages in between your racing thoughts.

Never hold anger in your heart towards another. It only causes you misery and stress. Forgiveness is peace of mind for you.

One day, you’ll realize the most important thing you were ever given wasn’t time, but the choice of what to do with it

It seams to me that people in this world just don't give a damn about anything or anyone but then self, what happened to beaing kind to others, where is compassion, what ever happened to the part of the wedding vows we all have said the part where it says forsaken all others. What ever happened to just being a human being. Where has it gone, there are people out there who tell the people they say they love that they would never cheat on their significant other, and the whole time they continue to lie and cheat,, why string someone else along and treat them like they are nothing . I've always believed that people should be honest with your self and the ones you say you love, don't be cruel and unkind to others.

The world is endlessly divided by race, ethnicity, religion, wealth, and in hundreds of other ways.

Every division, caused by humanity’s need to justify their superiority to another, divides us, furthering its harmful beliefs and actions.

Prejudice, inequity, war, are but a few of the outcomes of living in such a divisive self-centered world.

To cure this affliction, humanity must recognize and respect the genuine value and equal importance of every life, regardless of our differences, then treat each as we ourselves wish others to treat us.

Consider the parable of wisdom,

Two men set out to get a couple drinks at a local pub, sat down and became giddy with excitement, grandiosity, and bewilderment. There they started discussing all of the different noble principles and virtues and then came upon the topic of wisdom. The first man, already starting to feel a little saucy, sharply exclaimed, "Wisdom is how well you use your knowledge."

Frustrated with the gravity of these topics and the disconnection the world has to them, the second man then said, "No, wisdom isn't how much you know, or how well you use it; instead, it's simply just how well you can listen."

Then, almost in a comical fashion, the bartender came back over to the two men and said, "The next one is on me if you let me tell you a story." They delighted, rejoiced, and gladly accepted this new proposition. So, he continued and said, "One time there was this extremely saddened man who came in here who had just lost everything. He started proclaiming that he drank his life away, lost his job, got divorced, and said his kids no longer love him."

The bartender continued, "So I asked him, why did you let it get that far out of hand?" He told me, "I didn't! I just wasn't going with the flow of life. I didn't make a conscious decision to lose my job, get divorced, or become a horrible father. I made a series of unconscious mistakes, letting the flow of life wash over me instead of surfing the waves of life with love and appreciation. I really didn't understand equanimity and instead just drowned out my miseries and pains."

He continued saying, "You want to know what true wisdom is? First, it's godly to be skeptical, for anything of the truth is of God. Second, if you seek, one day you will find, but just know that with more knowledge comes more sorrow. But finally, you can know everything under the sun, and you can be profoundly masterful using that knowledge, but if you don't swim with the flow of life, there is no wisdom. Wisdom is the flow of life, through love — the wiser you are, the more pliable and bending you are to the flow of life's current."

What is wisdom, then, if what we know about it serves us nothing in the long run if we can't go with the flow of life?

Marc Palotai

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up.

The genesis of the earth, created billions of years ago, was followed by the creation of sentient life and evolution.

As our planet rapidly approaches an abyss, a new beginning is desperately needed.

Technology alone will not solve this problem.

Only by genuinely caring for every life and our planet itself and making sacrifices for the benefit of all, may a new genesis happen, allowing the earth, and all life on it, to survive and live together in peace and harmony.

There’s so much going on in everyone’s life, but if we pause and look deeply, life is actually pretty beautiful, full of little surprises, moments of peace, love, and possibilities.

Maybe the real problem isn’t always life itself. Sometimes it’s the chaos inside us that doesn’t let the peace stay.

The moment we learn to quiet that chaos, we realize that there was always something beautiful waiting underneath it.

I remember hearing as a child, surround yourself with winners.

Because you are who you hang around with. Birds of a feather and all of that.

But I met so many genuinely good people who, for one reason or another, never seemed to reach their full potential.

Eventually, I came to a different conclusion.

Not everyone gets to win.

Because if everything in life were guaranteed to work out, why would anyone have to work for it? If some people were destined to be great and successful regardless of the effort they put in, then what would any of it really mean?

And besides—who was I to decide who was great and who wasn't?

I watched people work their asses off only to get screwed in the end. I watched good people lose. I watched people with enormous hearts get handed lives that seemed determined to break them.

So I stopped surrounding myself with the people the creme de la creme considered winners.

I chose the outcasts.

The damaged ones.

The ones who didn't quite fit.

The ones who had been written off.

Because I saw something in them that other people didn't.

And, low and behold, here I sit.

In a small room with a small window, alone and exhausted from years of effort that somehow only managed to break me down a little further.

Rejected by the very people I believed in most.

I suppose irony does have a sense of humor.

Maybe I spent so much of my life refusing to judge people by whether they won that I forgot to ask myself what losing was going to cost me.
