There is no such thing as getting second place. It is either, the winner, or the loser. Humans worship the former, and reject latter Polarizing and extreme facets like it reveal that laws of nature were not written in our favor. Either you can have outrage over this, or you can bend it to your will. Your choice.
"A well rounded human being must know everything from how to lead an army,to make money, to how to contest and win elections, to solving physics equations, paint the walls,to sweeping the streets and to change diapers."

This is my vision for you.
That's the ideal to strive for.
To be in touch with everything, passionate for all aspects of life. To leave nothing in your way unturned.

It doesn't even have to a reality, but the very striving for it is what makes your life rich & vibrant.

Be a student of life.
Take philosophy seriously.

Nurture a love & genuine curiosity for everything.
Literally everything.

Conduct yourself this way and trust me your problems will definitely have a solution.

But people these days are too myopic and fragmented in their minds and confines themselves to any one aspect of life. They fragment reality and specialise in any one aspect of it and denies all other aspects. It results in a retarded & unholistic perception of reality.

Imagine going to a buffet and only eating the steak, because that happened to be your favourite meal. You will never grasp how much your are missing out on the true joy & richness of life.

Reality is ultimately one.

You cannot partition it and study the individual parts and then wonder why nothing works.
Because you literally ignored the missing parts.

Be a devoted student of life.

Seek truth in every situation.

This is the only way to ensure that you won't die with regrets.

No, I don't. meditation, in my opinion, is a chase of an experience. Most meditational practices don't lead anywhere. You experience temporary peace at best, so what? The truth lies in "meditativeness".
Look infront of you. Just look.

What do you see?

That is God.

A good representation of the nature of war.
Vincent Van Gogh, The Starry Night, Saint Rémy, June 1889
The hidden costs usually come in the form of lack of ability to generate real world results, emotional instability, constant suffering & self doubt, fear, frustrations towards life and so on...

Truth has been systematically buried down by society that everyone now accepts the costs as normal. But whether you like it or not, you are paying for it with your own peace of mind.

And adherence to truth has no shortcuts. It's to be pursued every moment slowly adding up over time and suddenly your life is experienced at a higher level of quality that the people around you.

I am extremely disturbed to see how people discuss philosophy on twitter.

They have gotten it backwards.

Make sure you don't fall into those traps.

Spirituality, Philosophy, self Improvement, Success, if done correctly will end up in the same destination.

Chronic Stress Kills you.

The stress persisting inside you for a long time or consistently reoccurring stress is called chronic stress.
Constantly being worried about relationship, your shitty job or your life in general which even robs you of your sleep is fatal for you in the long run.

Acute stress on the other hand is short term stress, that you may face with one deadline or in a high stakes zero sum negotiation. High stress, but over short periods of time. This is not so bad, since you quickly rewind & relax soon after. This is a normal part of life, and even healthy since it gives you some degree of alertness towards life.

But chronic stress is a killer.

Be acutely stressed after reading this if you may, but detach yourself from chronic stress asap.

Your heart & body will thank you, literally, with more health.

"Happiness - as ānanda - can only come from self-knowledge.

Happiness - as sukha - can come from anything ... from career to family.

We are genetically pre-dispositioned to seek the latter.

Hence, the enlightened are few."

"One has no right to love or hate anything if one has not acquired a thorough knowledge of its nature.

Great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you know it but little you will be able to love it only a little or not at all."
