What’s the most important thing you’ve learned in life thus far?

[NoirDynosaur]

Being detached and nonchalant is a cheat code to coping with stress

Social media is a hoax

Women rather FEEL any emotion positive or negative than to feel BORED

Blood is not thicker than water. Family is determined by trust, loyalty and familiarity

Relationships are either a lesson or a blessing

Most human interactions are nothing more than transactions

Having charisma makes you a likable person. Having leadership qualities makes you a respect individual

Happiness is a inside job

The world favors attractive people over ugly people. The Halo effect. If you’re naturally attractive, you get treated far better

People don’t have power over you unless you let them

Being silent is a superpower talking too much makes you a fool

What you consume is what you are. Your diet dictates your longevity

Most people live vicariously through other people

Fitting in is overrated. Being liminal makes you stand out

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Shut the fukk up and listen
People will tell on themselves the first time y’all meet
Observe everything
Mind your fukking business unless it’s detrimental to yours in the immediate present

Tired of looking around rooms wondering what i gotta do, or who I'm supposed to be..

I don't wanna be anything other than, me.

Helping black people is a thankless tasks.

Be pleasant. It’s not going to kill you to be friendly. Plus like the old saying goes … you catch more flies with honey …

Save and invest. Don’t spend wildly by listening to friends or ads.

God is real, keep Him close.

Love all but keep your distance from most because humans are fickle and moody and familiarity breeds contempt. As the saying goes…

Being detached and nonchalant is a cheat code to coping with stress

This is one of those things that you don't get till you feel and when you do you wonder why it was so hard to see it because you are the one who creates stress via your investment in the thinking.

Truly a lightbulb moment when it hits and I wish everyone reading gains the download required to make it pop up as an option next time they're stressed as its game changing.

what use is that to the dead¿*

They say a man has two deaths:

One in the physical and the second the last time his name is spoken in this realm. In that respect its all energetics and a transfer of vibration, if you think about it as the tongue is the most powerful instrument when it comes to creation.

In that respect its like paying points for spinning a record or a tribute for trademark usage but the bill is paid in attention and direction of awareness. Not a viable concept for those who think the world is physical but for those of us aware of its pixels based on emotion (get it e-motion? energy in motion aka feelings) it makes a lot of sense so do what thou wilt...

That existence is temporary, nothing really matters and our measly pursuit of accomplishments and accumulation of money, fame and materials are equally a big waste of time as some ppl may say playing video games, watching tv or bird watching is.

We're all alone floating in darkness in a tiny little rock closed off from the rest of the universe, not sure why we exist, but stuck in a constant cycle of competition and survival no different than the animals we look down upon.... and we're all simply making all this sh1t up as we go along.

Basically nihilism is reality. But not everyone is ready or capable of accepting this which is understandable. (it goes against everything that was drilled into our heads since infancy...and frankly its not pleasant.)

That realization made me less judgmental and more emphatic to religious people in their inaccurate pursuit to make sense of this

At the end of the day we just want concrete answers and to be told everything will work out and be okay and such philosophies scratch that itch.

then u die and everything gets erased upon death like an Etch a Sketch, All memories, skills accomplishments, talents.....gone forever. thus nothing matters.

but if you're selfish enough to drop a seed then the existential cycle just continues on for another generation

and the curse reigns on.

Know your worth. Whether that’s at work or in relationships. Don’t settle if you know you can get better.

 

[romeodunn]

These are some I have picked up along the way so far:

- You’re gonna HAVE TO learn how to be okay with being by yourself. Doing things by yourself, learning things by yourself, being comfortable by yourself. Because there will be many times you will be alone.

- as a man when you've been dating long enough, looks aren't enough, you've smashed bad women that have nothing else to offer you but looks and a good time. Looks fall below mental health, financial stability, and values as priority. It's why you see successful men sometimes with plain looking women. Those plain women offer him more than some good throat and the envy of other men on some 'how did he get her?' shyt. When you get older, this shyt gets serious. No man who isn't a deluded simp wants the mother of his child to be short tempered, emotionally unregulated with a weak distress tolerance and poor coping skills. When you're out of the house, your family's future should be in hands as good as your own or better.

I learned that contrary to what some people say if you want to be good at something focus just on that ain't enough. Life is made of connections everything is connected to everything. Sometimes to be good at something you have to fail at something else or you have to be good at something else you don't care about.
