Some of y'all are crazy but that's ok, you gotta be a little crazy to value spirituality and make it a central focus of one's life. thanks!

Claude is amazing for this and self inquiry. I have a whole project set up I use to understand my beliefs and so self inquiry with.

I’m not saying there isn’t any nut jobs on the left but this is a false comparison. Right wing brain rot and conservative ideologies are far more combative, oppressive and destructive to relationships, people and the planet by a wide margin compared to the nut jobs on the left Well yeah, of course. Like every child deep down wishes from their parents. But I’ve accepted I won’t get that from him nor should I build my life or perspective around being reliant on my dad’s support or approval (or anyone for that matter). He’s stuck in his ways and no amount of talking to him will change that. He has to want to change himself if he wants to change, all I can do is accept life for what it is.

All this doomer crap everywhere. Yea things will change and it will be very hard. Humans are incredibly resilient. Koreans are very proud of their country. They will survive. Bet on it.

Yes, this definitely is part of it. I think this may be one of the reasons there is a such a disconnect between generations these last several decades. We just see the world so differently. I wonder what a few generations from now will think as well? It’s so easy to see our beliefs as some truth about reality when they are just like sunglasses which can be taken off in an instant. The thing is I don’t want to bridge this at all, he is a miserable person to talk to and my energy only goes so far. Yes, every single person in the family sees him this way even my mom but she loves him and the odd thing is she is much more stage green, votes blue, quite liberal. Yet she makes a relationship work with him. I don’t not understand this. My dad is a miserable and controlling boomer conservative who is unsupportive of me. I just accept this, which is a bit of a hard pill to swallow sometimes for my inner child, but I know god is in me Andy true value so I allow myself to align with this and know regardless of my relationship with him I’m still valuable and life is beautiful. The funny thing is my dad was a hippy, I swear to god. He was born in 1950, went to Woodstock, smoked pot, protested the Vietnam war and studied to be an artist. He even did LSD a few times if I’m not mistaken. Thinking though old stories he told me about himself and how he used to live life, he used to be more moderate by comparison to now, he was more open minded. Somewhere along the way he shut down. He’s not like a totally miserable person but he is not pleasant to be around, very difficult to relate to and have a relationship with when literally every conversation culminates in something about Trump, or immigrants, or guns or some typical conservative fixation. He has talk radio blasting all afternoon. It’s not exactly possible to enjoy a relationship with a person like this even if they are your parent, it’s reality 🤷‍♂️

Of course he will try for a third term and even have people rioting for it, maybe even try to shut down the election. People already forgot January 6th…

Have you spoken to the average Trump supporter? They will find a way to mention politics or how the USA isn’t great no more almost every single day.

I’m fine and mostly accepting of the one I have. It would be nice if he were less negative but that is not under my control and I am fine with that.

Why is this though? I noticed this as well with certain old people from certain countries. Just insufferable.

I was creating very painful emotions and judging myself, someone told me about those 10 day vipassena retreats so I did a few, and then from there I started searching for stuff on meditation and spirituality and Leo’s videos came up. From there I did a lot of work on myself, got into psychedelics then quit. Then I started studying Taoism after really having a consistent and strong awareness of spirit during each waking moment. Here I am now ever learning and growing!

Reading is very helpful and incredibly useful. I don’t think it’s ever a time waste for most people if you are sticking to self help classics and spiritual texts. The thing is most people will benefit from reading more because they may lack a bit of information needed to answer their own question or set themselves up to move forward and discover something else. Do you want the guy operating on you to say he doesn’t read and learned everything on the job? If you’re so caught up in reading and literally doing nothing then it could be a waste of time but most people can barely finish one book a month so I would say it’s not something to worry about. Just choose the right books.

Can anyone else relate to having a conservative parent who is simply just unenjoyable or not relatable? My dad is in the USA and is conservative (self proclaimed independent) and he is just a very unpleasant person to talk to. Not always but maybe 75% of the time. He constantly references immigrants coming over the border, he wants lots of control, he has a lot of very negative and limiting beliefs. Half the conversations we have end up referencing USA politics in some way. He isn’t fun to talk to at all but he isn’t like an entirely rotten person. He does say supportive things about how I live my life and how I enjoy to travel and he has his moments where you can see he’s aligned with the way. I got off the phone with him today and I was reminded why I only go back once every other year to visit. On top of that it doesn’t seem like he has put so much care into me coming to visit because he doesn’t have a place for me to stay. I can see now why my girlfriend will have an inner child / ego reaction when I don’t think of her. I also had a talk with him about my videos and he thought it was cool but he had very cold comments like “so many people are doing it so it’s flooded and difficult, you have to have some other talent than just making videos.” Which I do agree with, many too creators show off some skill they already have or some amazing body they were gifted with which they can then use to sell diets programs. I’m making videos on travel which requires authenticity and allowing stories to tell themselves, you see all the best travel content creators just focus on the people and being genuine and honest about their interactions and just having fun while the videos are sort of an afterthought. I think I’m rambling a bit but it’s definitely my inner child. I know I have to love and look after myself when I’m around my 74 year old dad who only sees negative things and rarely acknowledges all the possibilities and the authenticity in taking risks and doing what we are passionate about even when it’s unclear where it will lead us. I do agree with him though, I’m not quitting my day job until my channel is so big I can do it full time. Can anyone else relate to this? Having an older parent that is just very closed down and living through all their past problems? I don’t want to live my life like this, I want to embrace each challenge and still keep my joy.

This clown fails to mention right wing efforts to ship labor overseas, right wing efforts to union bust, right wing attacks on labor rights, deregulation. It’s like how these jokers tout how the invasion of Iraq was a mistake yet it was fueled by right wing ideology…. Their ideology and policies caused the issues but as time passes and people forget, they can create some faceless boogeyman of elites who did it, most Americans are even so dumb they don’t even look at what caused the current situation they are in. They just scream how it’s a problem and how the left caused it.

Crazy what has been normalized in the past 8 years, this guy complaining about his portrait… USA is a madhouse.
