Fulfill your highest purpose by serving your Lord and savior Jesus Christ. If you just want to serve your own small, little ego you will never be fully satisfied by life. Life will feel like a waste. But you can do that too if you desire to do so.

You take life seriously without letting life take you over. If you don’t take it seriously your life is meaningless. A life aimed toward hedonism is empty, just drifting from one pleasurable experience to the next. That’s not a life worth living, you have to make use of your capabilities that have been gifted to you. At least try.

Lol, that's a prostitute, dude

You need faith, that’s it. Without it you get into these never ending internal feedback loops. Also if you have to depend on “feeling good” you are never going to produce something worthwhile.

If you deeply hate and detest your boyfriend and want to humiliate him deeply, ask him if it's okay if you have sex with other dudes. If you don't hate him, try to explore ways he could satisfy you more, be open with him. If he can't, you should accept the situation as is, or leave him.

@Gregory1 2 Peter 2:1-3 ESV But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

Let this be a warning. If your life revolves around seducing and sleeping with girls the only end result is personal disaster, disaster, nihilism, insanity and possibly worse. Some PUAs are lucky to have found the light somewhere along their journey and ran from that toxic mindset and community. Others are not that fortunate. For all young people; don't get into the PUA community at all, don't even read that toxic content. It's like injecting a little heroine into your bloodstream everyday to take the edge of life, thinking if you just keep it under control it will benefit you in the bigger picture. But it won't, doing repeated acts of lesser evils won't lead to a greater good. Deep down we know this.

There aren't any genuine truthful answers on this forum because everyone keeps parroting that they are God. Yeah, that's very helpful...

Yeah, this was a stupid argument from Elon. He's basically saying the government shouldn't be given any money, because the government sucks. Even though he may be right, the alternative of total anarchy is worse.

Teal Swan is full of it

Republicans are going to win 2024 anyway. Democratic party is a mess

There are genuine 'gurus' out there with real knowledge, insight and skill. But people like Sadhguru and Osho are, for the most part, showmen/actors. It's like these 'wealth preachers' like Joel Olsteen who preach the Gospel in order to get rich and get all the material things your ego desires. Sadhguru and Osho are a more subtle incarnation of that. They will give you breadcrumbs of truth, but it will never satisfy you, it will only make you more hungry. In order that you will keep buying their stuff, and following their lectures. All the while they will keep getting more power and wealth, and you are exactly the same off. Just with your money in their pockets. Be aware of these snakes.

That's pretty much JP's message; start with fixing yourself. Clean your room, put yourself in order. On the other hand JP is also a seeker, someone who is looking for existential truth just like people on this forum. It's really funny that people want to put him down on this forum as a lowly 'Stage blue thinker', but he is obviously more accomplished and enlightened than any person on this forum

Why are aliens so obsessed with the USA? They appear there all the time, always abducting people and probing them, but never in any other areas of the world

Do you follow the news at all? Pedophilia and sexual abuse among wealthy and powerful people is a real thing and a major problem. And should definitely not be said in the same vain as 'reptilians' and 'flat earth'.

Positive discrimination is discrimination, period. Put people in power and positions with responsibility because they have the competence and skillset to handle it, not because they are of a certain gender or skin color. Because if you don't, it's like pushing down on a water filled balloon, you may suppress the water in a certain area, but it's going to pop up in another one. By thinking you solved one problem, you are just creating another. The problem now becomes, you don't know where it exactly will create problems. So engaging in positive discrimination the government is pushing buttons of which they don't know the full societal ramifications of. But they can point to numbers and statistics; 'see guys, we solved discrimination!'. No you didn't, you just moved the problem.

You can try the methods through self help. And for some people this can work, if the problem hasn't become too big for your ego to handle. But there are also problems that can have gained so much momentum in one's psyche that it's pretty much unstoppable. We see this in heroin addiction, cocaine, food, alcohol etc. No amount of personal willpower can help these people. No matter how hard they try, they keep falling back into the habit. Problems can become so big, that we personally can't solve it. That's something that self help guru's will never admit though. Even getting help from other people isn't always enough. That's why in alcohol addiction courses, there's always a call to a higher power, to God. Problems can become so big you have to surrender to God, and hand your problems over to Him. Because you can't do it on your own any more. So keep that in mind, if you are feeling lost and clueless, there is a way out of your problems which self help literature usually won't acknowledge.

Companies that make good products can still engage in immoral and unethical marketing practices.

That's nonsense. You can't have faith in nothing. You can only put your faith in something. If I'm hanging on the side of the ledge of a high building I'm not just going to 'let go'. Because I know I will hit the ground like an exploding watermelon. That's what life is, we are hanging on the side of a ledge. Life could be over for us any day. But life would be unbearable if we lived life every second of everyday terrified of death. That's why we put faith in things that we can trust, things we can hold onto.

Faith is inherent to being, it's impossible to be alive without faith. The question is; where does your faith lie? You can have faith in yourself, the government, your work, your family, your skillset, your intelligence, your social skills etc. Faith is unconditional trust you put in something or someone that you expect you can lean on regardless the circumstances presented to you. If you don't have faith in God, that means you do not trust him. If you can't trust someone or something means that you can't fully love it. You will be constantly questioning their intentions and actions, suspicous what they will do. This distrust boils down to a deep fear. In order to have a full relationship with God you have to let go of that distrust. Because the underlying fear is inhibiting that relationship. The only reason you have fear is because you feel cut off from God. So you have to surrender that fear by fully putting your trust in God, because God is the only thing you can fully trust if you analyze this reality.

As someone who has a bachelor's degree in marketing I always felt most of marketing, in general, is a bunch of hot air and mostly aimed at misleading, scamming and overhyping products and services to gullible suckers. I still believe that noble and genuine promotion and marketing is possible, and even necessary. But in the professional field of marketing you will find few people who question the morality and ethics of their practice.
