One ancient politician had quoted this "Man will not think of lofty things not until they are fed enough bread". I know this quote may be controversial to many, but this has stuck in my head since I was 16 years old. It turns out the politician was right. He made his country so rich (about 2500 years ago) richer than any other faction that people started to be more mannerly, loving, and preside with dignity. Although the politician himself may have acted or made speeches that may have seemed ruthless, while he was living, people were living both prosperously and most morally. What do you guys think? can man ever think of lofty things without being satiated physically? I guess, Jesus wasn't very rich from an early age, but was still able to think of lofty subjects, so there are always exceptions. What is the best course for us to be more mannery, polite, and loving? Focusing on the physical world only?

@Preety_India i don't know what response you want. But I'll speak from my personal experience. I used to think accomodating to society, lying about myself and not "being myself" was the most atrocious thing one could do. But you gotta think a little more deeply. I watched Schindler's list 2 years ago, and I saw Oscar Schindler calling jews scrubs and prostitutes in front of the nazis. He once held a hose in front of the generals and splashed them on the Jews face laughing at them, calling them names unimaginable, smirking at the fact that with his hose he can hit them with the pressure of water. But what he really wanted was to let the jews drink water. He also asked one general to give him 500 jews for his factory. That he wanted to use some of them as his sex slaves and occasionally shoot them with a rifle. The general and him bonded with the fact that they loved shooting them with a rifle after they woke up in the morning. And then I imagined in my head, when there were some Germans who didn't give a fuck about society and hid some jews in their attics, and when SS officers would visit, they would not be themselves, lie their asses off, pretend they are devoted to the Nazi party and later save those jews until the end of the regime. So, my point is, truth and lies seem to compliment each other. And you can be scientifically accurate all the time. Say all the historical facts correctly, but that does not guarantee you are truthful at heart. I'm telling you right now, those German angels were the greatest hypocrites who denied being themselves to do what was natural and beautiful. I feel the energy in you where you hate men. I hate women too. I hate many people. I really don't give a shit about anybody in here. I only care about myself. But I do want to say this to you. I used to hate my father to the T, and to some extent, I still do. He tried to buy dinner for me, do anything to just apologize to me, but I just couldn't stand him even though I wanted to. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to just NOT BE with someone. I believe everyone has the right to just NOT BE with someone. I wanted to cut him off my life, and really destroy his existence in my mind. So to do this, I hated him, bashed him, tried to humiliate him, and tried to physically beat him. (that's why he stated avoiding me) Until I realized one of the things I read, where Buddha says that if you really want to end the relationship, you shouldn't even hate the person. You are secretly still in love with the relationship if you hate him. Buddha said, only true love, universe, existence is able to break off the relationship completely. IF you love him deeply, only then he does not have any impact on you. IF you don't want to be influenced or pressured by someone, you need to break off the relationship. So don't even hate him. Don't even love him. Just be normal. I don't know if it's working out for me. But since then, I never thought of hurting my father ever since. I write this because maybe, we both need to get over the hate we have for someone else. And you know, we gotta help each other out when we can

Studying Math, doing coding, reading books. Doing things that aren't physical but mental? I know when I was an athlete, I knew the importance of not overworking yourself and letting the body rest in between workouts. It was apparent to anybody and only a retarded person would be like David Goggins when working with your body and enhancing. But what my question is, does this exist for studying math, coding, reading books about science and history, literature, humanities in general. I'm not doing anything physical. And most of my life, I've never studied that hard. Is there such thing as being sore in studying as with working out? I continuously find myself burning myself out when studying. Please answer! I'm really desperate to find the answer from over the top intellectual people.

I thought you meant simp, not semp.

@Preety_India just trying to demonstrate, he wasn't a heartless person despite how he might sound

@Preety_India well. Yeah. I'm one of those poor guys. I'm currently really trying to be whole as a person, and not be too one sided. Not too philosophical nor be too pragmatic. To embrace paradox into my life. the politician's name is Guan Zhong. I was really inspired by him because he himself was ruthless and cruel in some ways when he was young. His friend named Po used to always be nice to him even when he was a little devilish. They would do business together, and Guan would take more money from Po from the profit. Po knew Guan wasn't wealthy, and he would tell others to not worry about him getting his profits unfairly stolen. Guan would lose 3 battles in a row and run away to find Po for help. Po would always consolidate him saying that he will win next time. And the last time when Guan was working for another faction and tried to kill the Po's faction warlord, he failed and got captured. Po pleaded the king to save Guan (you should never argue against king's decision at the time so easily) saying Guan is actually a talented young friend despite having no credentials (this is a very dangerous move, and people who do this often gets killed altogether) Eventually, Guan had rose higher in rank than Po because he indeed was talented in both politics, economics, and war. While Guan was dying, he said it was all because of his friend Po, not his parents, that bred him to do what he wanted to create in his life. Crying, he told his disciples that although his parents brought him to this world, it is actually Po who had created him.

@Sempiternity could u stop being a hypocrite showing your own moral superiority by teaching me what it takes to be a "good person" as if you got it all figured out. As if you dont manipulate women. For fucks sake the irony here. Im here at least admitting that im a piece of trash who is manipulative and shitty, but you are taking on a high rung here and just love teaching people what it takes not to manipulate. As if you love women deeply without any shadow hindering you. I clap to you sir. But stop pretending you are so nice to women yourself. I hate your kind of hypocrisy as if you are the white knight for women. Im better than you cause i dont pretend i love women for themselves. I admit I have a long way to go. But, however, if you did get all of it figured out, and you are not manipulative, and know what it takes to truly be a "good man" I apologize and retract all the shit I said to you. But I highly doubt I would cause all the things you have basically admitted implies you never manipulate women, you love women for themselves, you are truly a good man (in the real sense of the word) so all those "attractive" women flock to you. That's what you are saying basically.

@Sempiternity I love how you don't read anything in this thread and just straight up say I'm a self proclaimed douche. I've been defending to everyone that I am not a douche while everybody was calling me a douche. Right now, I'm trying to defend myself saying I'm actually a good boy and you're calling me out saying I'm a self proclaimed lone hero douche.

It's funny. In this thread, if I argue that I'm not a douche and that I'm not being manipulative, it looks like I'm proving their point. But I appreciate what Leo had pointed out for me.

@diamondpenguin i felt i was pushed to the edge. Having the founder of the forum trigger you is hilarious

I'm not anyone to give advice because I sometimes feel loneliness, too - though very few, very few times do I feel lonely. I feel lonely when everybody... literally everybody hates me. I don't care if 90% of people don't like me. But when 100% hates me, I do kinda feel lonely. And I can be quite ruthless in how I talk, so you can imagine how some people, especially most unsensitive people, can feel triggered not feeling the subtelty between my words. Anyways, for your information, I have layed out my statistics, my batting average when it comes to loneliness to give you a choice whether to listen to my advice or not. I just focus on what I can do for the universe. Before you categorize me as woo woo, let me explain myself further for you. People say you got to love others if you want to be a loving person. But that is simply half of the whole story. The universe is infinite, and anyone proclaiming that they are loving just because they love their country, their own hometown village, business, themselves, others are only loving half heartedly. So focus on loving both yourself and others, not only others. Universe would not be complete if you don't exist. Otherwise, why the fuck would the universe have you still alive? What can you do for yourself and others and also for the computer that is helping you get your work done fast. (appreciating your possessions are important too). Stop trying to take love from others. Stop trying to suck up energy from your computer, people, family. Even if you are an unloving person at least try. And if you are so unloving, give yourself love first! And when you have given yourself so much love, then, at the same time, give love to others - a two way street. One street brings about love brought about from your own, then to the other street you give love to others. A continuous flow so it never is able to rot like a still pond. You wanna be a clear stream like a mountain's spring.

I admit I sound like a douche. But as many people with my MBTI: ENTJ get misunderstood easily, you guys got to chill out with calling me a douche straight out without seeing me in person. With this thread, felt a lot of disappointment emotionally.

Im telling you right now. Leo calls me a douche, and apparently i am a douche but no hot girl is that attracted to me, so it seems to me your "douche" theory isnt working out very well. Maybe its "how" i should be douchey thats more important, not simply being a douche like me, am i right?

@Girzo impressive! Im an ENTJ. Im supposed to be like gordon ramsay or harrison ford or the black woman in some show, so i can have a wicked sense of humor and be too direct for some people.

@Leo Gura Its just a joke leo. Come on. I accept im horny, but do you honestly think Im that desparate to hurt a girl? Dont quickly judge people like that based on the words they speak. I sometimes think you do that too fast. You've known locker room talks right?

@Leo Gura Would you please kindly answer.

@Leo Gura dude, in what way did you think I am cringe. I'm actually curious

@Ghost to me pimping is like saying, let's kick some ass before a basketball game you're playing. I'm very far from a pimp. To be honest, I have no interest in manipulating women. I do think I said those japanese - porn star looking chicks- will love me as much AS I LOVE THEM. Of course, I was somewhat joking about accomplishing this goal, but at the same time, not joking if you know what i mean. What's so bad about having two japanese porn star looking chicks loving you?

@Vision One of the reasons Michael Jordan was great is because he was able to have courage to quit basketball when he felt like it and do what he was inspired to do, even though he wasn't great in that other stuff. Steve Jobs was great because he quit his job as an apple employer and created another business that he wanted to work in - rather he was forced by existence to get out of apple corporation. They all followed their integrity to do or not do what they felt was right. Whether they were forced to rest on their work or do their work, they did what they needed to do. Resting is important i think.

@blackchair What do you do?

@Leo Gura I kinda gave up being "freedom of outcome". It would be awesome if I was such a pimp. I would have better things to think about in my life, but, right now, I'm not a pimp. Someday, I will be such a pimp ill have all my korean boys watch me leading two 10s of japanese - porn star looking - chicks in my arms loving me as much as i love them. My friends will think I'm a God.

@mmKay how do you get in the inner circle? wish i could communicate with tyler

@Ruslankungrufu his name is Liu Bei. Read Chu Shi Biao - Liu Bei will be written as the "late emperor" in the writing - and many accounts of him and you'll get the sense of what kind of person he was for the people that worked for his cause. You can feel the vibe from many of his historical accounts, probably his greatest talent that led him to be emperor was socializing, being popular, and getting really talented people working for him with love and devotion without being too forceful or demanding to those ministers, warriors, and peasants. Many talented alpha males are prone to exert force in order to accomplish their ambitions, but he was apparently not like that really.

@aklacor727 how do you sleep to the side? I can't sleep without sleeping to the side. You can't do that with headphones on.
