"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." β€” Mahatma Gandhi

The human race has to learn how to leave the world alone and let what is called the natural homeostasis, that is the self-balancing process of nature, take care of the mess.

Now, how are we going to do that?

This is Japanese ceremonial tea. It's good on a cold day.

See, our problem is we don't really know how to stop. We've got something started and we see it's going in a wrong direction. And I think the difficulty is, to borrow an old Chinese saying, that when the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way.

In other words, there's something wrong with the way we think. And while that is there, everything we do will be a mess.

A lot of us feel like we don't deserve to
have our dreams come true or have good things happen to us. And sometimes, no matter how far we've made it or
how much we've already accomplished, and we still don't feel content. Why is that? The answer isn't an easy one. Most likely, it's when we grapple with feelings of self-loathing. Self-loathing is defined as hatred for oneself that often manifests as anger, self-sabotage, a negative view of oneself, and low self-esteem. It's important for a person to be aware of their feelings and attitudes towards themselves so they can start to change for the better. Here are seven signs you may be suffering from self-loathing and just don't know it. One, you tear yourself down. Self-hate makes you your own worst critic. Keeping an eye on your shortcomings is a good thing, but not allowing yourself room to breathe stems from an immense dislike for your current self. You think extremely harsh things about yourself and indulge in self-pity a lot. So much that tearing yourself down has become a daily habit for you. Everyone makes mistakes.

A shard of desolation stabs his chest. That yearns to scream its buried truth. Yet no words can free its voice. It then slinks back and sighs. Life drags on as he broods. Bearing a silence no one hears. Yet he digs deeper, lost in rumination. To rise again…
You see it, the root of it, you understood how it all works and connected the strings, then you ask, why am I doing this? What's the point of it all? (excluding the evolution and our mission on it), all of it feels like you are staring into the abyss and trying to communicate with a void that never echoes back, all in vain, but still.. does it all stem from how we collectively perceive the world around us, the things that are happening, it certainly can't be different, deep down we all are there, sharing and bearing the same burdens, we see it yet stay silent.

Perhaps, I assume that's the very reason of our existence, there's meaning in suffering too, something to strive for in the journey, not the end goal, or figuring it out itself along the way.

There's this phenomenon I have had in my mind for years. To explain it, I have to craft new words around this concept. I know it but can't explain with the words. Perhaps it can be articulated with mathematical formula.

Today, as I was reading the book, I came across a passage that came close to the notion of what I'm trying to express. It goes :
A human being who is reading a book may grow sleepy. Instead of continuing to read until the book is finished, he is just as likely to put the book aside and turn off the light. He has stepped "out of the system," and yet it seems the most natural thing in the world to us. Or, suppose person A is watching television when person B comes in the room, and shows evident displeasure with the situation Person A may think he understands the problem, and try to remedy it by exiting the present system (that television program), and flipping the channel knob, looking for a better show. Person B may have a more radio concept of what it is to"exit the system" - namely to turn the television off of course, there are cases where only a rare individual will have the vision to perceive a system which governs many peoples lives, a system which has never before even been recognized as a system; then such people often devote their lives to convincing other people that the system really is there and that it ought to be exited from!


And I'm one of those people, apparently!

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years from Earth called β€˜K2-18b.’

While they have not yet declared the finding of life, they detected β€œpotential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms such as marine algae.

There's this idea in linguistics called "Linguistic Relativity" the notion that the language you speak affects how you think. Let's say if your ancestors lived near the sea, then there's definitely more words related to sea in your culture and language, and if you were to reference those words to someone who grew up near the desert or mountain, even if they understand the words they never see it in the way you see and vice versa.

So, what I'm trying to say here is that you are what you see, and I'm writing what you see here, so the question is: are you becoming me or am I becoming you? Kidding. We reached 20k folks, it's a big number with big responsibilities for me, huge enough to cause perspective shifts. Imagine composing a thought that you want to be resonated with 20 thousand people (brevity, value, avoiding jargon, finding that sweet spot), you just can't.

This channel wasn't merely opened for entertaining purposes, I can go on and post about stuff that only interests me and saturate that niche with a ripple effect, funny how that works. Yet the theme of this blog of mine hasn't been chosen yet, reading challenge was just a way to inspire others into gaining something good for themselves, and I'm genuinely happy with the way it played out. Perhaps that's the point of this channel, it doesn't actually have to be categorized with some sort of tag or something, you are the reader and you are the one shaping the narrative as well, and thank you for reading this if you made this far. Peace.

I want to make one more thing clear here, I hope you are enjoying both of our bots, but they are here today and can be gone by tomorrow afternoon. We have a separate movie channel (Cinemagic HD) too but that's also not safe from copyright strikes.

Plus, you know it well I don't spam this blog, I only post about 6-7 times a month and since the engagement rate is high I'm very sure it's useful to many of the readers and I appreciate that as a creator (read this).

Yet if our bots get taken down by Telegram or something by tomorrow evening (hypothetically), you will be the first to get new bot addresses firsthand from a developer(me), you won't be the one paying hundreds of dollars just to get access to that academic ("gatekept") book or a research paper, you won't be the one paying 4-5 different streaming services just to get that specific film/show you were looking for because they all are never in 1 place, you won't be the one who is levelling up their game, and you won't be the one contributing for the sake of passing down vintage films, academic materials, and classic books for free for future generations to come, please don't take that for granted, and thank you)
