    Yes, exactly relationships are about responsibility and realistic expectations more than anything. Realistic expectations seem low when it's compared to songs and movies. Op was expecting restaurants and Christmas markets to be fun but they are more of a responsibility and a minimum expectations than something euphoric (unlike how the media portraits things like that). Don't chase happiness, chase responsibility and minimum expectations (not too high) and bliss might follow as a result. Hope for the best but keep expectations low.

    Yes I agree. But still, when we are in a relationship, there's that untold agreement that some expectations should be met, some expectations define a relationship, right? So there are some responsibilities on both parties, that shape a relationship. If we strip away those expectations, why have a relationship at all?

    For both men and women, when your expectations (i.e. your hopes, neediness, demands from the other person) are lower you are more relaxed, less clingy, less desperate. From a relaxed state you make better choices and become a better partner in a relationship and thus you get a better relationship. Demanding the other person make you happy or demanding from yourself to make the other person happy leads to disaster. This applies to both men and women.
  5. Nonetheless that "feud" with Dave is irrelevant, and his Anti-Jewish remarks are irrelevant either, because not Antisemitism (not even the correct term) is the problem of the present, but that little children are being slaughtered by Israelis who happen to be 99% Jews disregarding the Palestinians there. He is a necessity, even though he is wrong on many issues. You can be wrong on many issues and still be crucial and important. To get out of this dumb wheel of debating about Antisemitism. Let him be wrong, let him have extremist views, I mean how much worse than the entire croooked and criminal congress in the USA and the parliaments in europe especially Germany can it get? At least he doesnt support an 80 year long opression with an ongoing genocide.

    In what way? Most girls expect that euphoria in a relationship, and if you can't provide it, they percieve that as a problem.

    Those birds are almost as blind and biased as us humans!:D We win the retards contest without a doubt.
  11. Consider that many pedophiles became pedophiles because they were abused themselves as children.
  12. Then you haven’t been following them. It’s all over X. Dan is making that worse because he keeps making antisemitic comments. Now he is causing drama with someone popular among his only base, right wing israel critics.
  13. I think is just like any other cultish group think monolith. It is based in ideology and ego. But we have to be nuanced in perception. On some fronts they are right, especially the chill mature center-left liberals. Regarding taxation and economy the right is just a bunch of brainwashed selfish devils. They might not push your children to identify as zebras and submarines but they will keep you poor, stressed and miserable.
  14. False I The true I that you are cannot be seen, touched, described, or lost. It has no form, no age, or destiny.
  15. Any attempt to decipher reality is doomed to fail, because the “ your” is just another object that’s silently being observed.
  16. This puts a lot of thought conditions on Awareness ironically.
  17. I follow both of them and havent seen such a feud. To the contrary Dan said various times that Dave Smith is a champion. And even if there is a feud, its irrelevant, it doesnt make him a dumbass and doesnt downplay is necessary role to get out of these dumb and stupid Antisemitism debates drinking cocktails in our warm houses meanwhile little children lose their limbs, eyes and parents. Dan is an absolute necessity
  18. @LordFall This is a very difficult subject to handle. Firstly, you must empathise with the human condition. Illnesses, diseases, wars, forms of corruptions in the numbers greater than clothing designs, and all this where as much as this period in history reflects our highest technological growth, that is by abstract comparison far outweighed by all the above and the suicide rate across the planet. Also this is just our global context, we live our indiviudal lives and all of us are given these massive ego's when compared to the universe we are no more than specs of sand. What a cruel joke right! That said, most of the world's issues actually exist in the most developed countries ironically speaking when it comes to subjects such as happiness, which is separate to difficulties in themselves but nevertheless details the existential position one has towards them. I am sure you have previously done personal research before on native tribes for example that are perfectly content protecting themselves from the next latest iPhone upgrade! The goal should not be to find a particular answer, your role is to serve your unique living context. Look outside the screen you are viewing this from, where I am right now, does not matter outside the abstract of your present experience. You must find resolve within yourself about how you feel in your body and mind for the sake of your body and mind alone, not in trying to bring global or even universal existential resolve to a condition you have no control over, but just for yourself and your own developmental maturity. We as humans unknowingly become addicted to our emotional patterns, and we curate meaning unknowingly according to the feelings we are unknowingly falsely believing to be the very state upon how we should view situations. This is NOT word play, it is a very elementary reality that when its fixed by way of meditating within oneself and teaching oneself by observing their own inward patterns how their emotions emerge and with that too, fluctuations of energy kind and magnitude, and with that the influences that emerge to bring about our cognitive experiences. Most of the difficulties in reality in light of our technological advancements are more and more becoming fundamentally just judgements on our own personal emotional competence. Judgements in assessing our energetic state and leveraging our awareness to bring balance, harmony and joy through that interaction alone, and pride, time and care in that self awareness to strategic long term self organisation internally and externally in that process. You share a unique perspective in this world as do all people on this forum and the world at large. Reality is funnelled through the very unique limitations that make-up you as a human being. By taking pride in how our being organises information energetically (thus all encompassingly), maturity naturally folds the meaning we are meant to harbour for our unique life context. Maturity, not praise from the outside, not even internal validation outside of autocorrecting self esteem, is where the aim should be concerning any existential disposition we have, god or otherwise. That... is something only you have direct access to, have control over and a clear timeline towards responsibly embracing. To take that path maturely, you must release what is outside the reference frame of what you can control, and make peace with these realities. This will be my only comment for this thread, but I wish you well. Best regards.
  19. What about the perspective of men using woman to extract femenine (Yin) energy to compensate their lack of it. We all heard of the concept of two Wholes meeting and when they meet is a different dynamic than when two people in lack meet. In case of men. We need to reflect where we are coming from when we go for woman. The extraction energy csn be very explicit or sometimes subtle, but if it is there you may be surprised why some woman just stop answering your DMs or getting you out of their lifes. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXuPCM_lP71/?img_index=1&igsh=NjBmbWNhNjc4MWhu
  20. @Natasha Tori Maru My bad Natasha! Only the first sentence was for you as you commented on the post I made about the sexual abused I suffered. The rest was for the author of the post. Sorry about the mixup, didn't write a proper comment

    @Rafael Thundercat no one is doing what this transcript suggests.
  22. Appreciate your input and response. But I have absolutely no understanding of what you are talking about. Best to you too.
  23. When I was in deep pain I realized there was a point after which the human mind simply stops holding on to sanity and gives up. I touched that boundary and barely came back. In pain you aren't really scared of death but reaching that boundary and going insane. Suffering has taught me to respect it and made me realize the point of life is goodness. I cry from gratitude for being alive and having a roof over my head, no pain in my body and a family. The world is full of suffering yet it is also full of love and goodness. In the depths of suffering and physical pain, when I dipped my toe in that insanity because my mind couldn't hold on to it, I fell to the ground screaming. I looked at all that pain and understood it was all God, all perfect and all as was always intended to be. I was crying in pain begging for it to stop but I knew it was perfectly God. I don't want to experience that ever again. Never Never Never. But that's God. That's true and that's perfect. No matter what you think of this, or whether I am on a high horse when I say the world is perfect, it is the truth and suffering is doing exactly what it is meant to do. The world is utterly perfect. When you cry beg and scream for it to all stop, when you cross that boundary and go insane you'll know it was all perfect and that it was love.

    Relationships is a lot like money. Both are good to have but neither makes you as happy as you think it will. You need both to meet your basic needs but don't expect euphoria from either. Getting euphoria from money or relationships is a lie by clever marketers to sell products, and ideas, and clothes, movies, books, etc. Realizing this lowers your expectations for relationships and actually makes them better. In some sense the secret to happiness is low expectations.

    Depends on the girl you pick. Many will absolutely want those activities. But not all of them, and not all to the same degree. At the same time, If you're in a relationship you're going to be spending your time together doing something. She's not just going to sit there and watch you play video games all day. So you need at least some activities.
  27. This is why I started with laying down the assumptions before my response so that you know what kind of position im trying to respond to and so that you know what kind of conception of God is being critiqued. If those things dont apply, then there is no problem of evil, but I dont understand what "perfection" and "infinite love" and "unbiased" means, given that the conception of God you just layed down there is non-agential and it seems that it literally cant unfold in alternative ways. So everything that happens must happen and cannot not happen and God cant do anything about it. (So its not like he can get credit for any of the good stuff ,just like given this conception, he cant get blamed for the bad stuff).
