  1. Because you behave like one. You could honestly let a woman who you are dating know that you plan to sleep with other people even after marriying her because that's just who you are and because you have a very primal libido, and blah, blah, blah. That would be a strong move. But you know that if you did this no woman would decide to build a relationship with you so instead you decide to use sneaky tactics and manipulations. You would be a loser because you can't get the amount of sex that you want while being upfront and honest. For example by building a polyamourous relationship or by staying single and having casual sex with different women. That would require some skills, effort and character on your part, and you have none, which is a definition of a looser. On top of that you decide to compensate your lack of skills, effort, and character with petty lies and manipulation. Which turns you into a little, sneaky looser. If you have sex with another woman while being in a committed monogamous relationship and hide this from your wife because you are fully aware that she would be hurt by it and wouldn't like it, then you don't love your wife in the first place. And probably also have no idea what it means to love someone at all. So the notion of you "not loving your wife less" after it is irrelevant since there was no love to begin with. No, I am a man, and I would rather cut my balls off than cheat on my partner.
  2. Besides you turning into a sneaky little looser? There is no problem. For you. For your wife it would be a problem however, cause that would mean that she has wasted a tonn of time and energy on a sneaky little looser instead of spending it with someone who genuinely loves her and cares about her.
  3. 100% agree with that, but I also think that different breeds should have a place to exist. Border Collies are amazing for example and are a quite healthy breed. And yeah, the industry could be much more conscious and ethical of course.
  4. So... How do I take ownership of my life and actually make real transformations that stick?
  5. This is an interesting point of view. So you think that in the future (in an ideal world) nobody should be allowed to have pets at all. Also, do you mean the process of breeding and selling / buying a pet is unethical in general or do you mean dogs and cats specifically because they need to eat meat?
  6. I feel like this song is so true Это как бросать постепенно — тот же самый развод Размазывать свои сопли по стенам на ещё один год От гнезда до полёта — только рывок Ты либо бросился навстречу неизвестности, либо не смог Я буду долго запрягать у хлипкого моста Но с прошлым своим распишусь в один удар хлыста Сорву с себя всё напускное, за слоем слой Открою глаза и впервые увижу, кто я такой Во всём себе признаюсь, все пластыри посдираю Где я сужу, не остыв, где надменен до края Где я на самом деле о себе, а не о ком-то С чем я родился и что нацепил для понта Где я себя обманываю — впредь и отныне Пропасть в один шаг между достоинством и гордыней Чтобы научиться парить, на небосклоне мерцать Нужно увидеть в отражении слепого птенца
  7. What stops me from changing my life right now and becoming the person I want to be? The only thing that stops me is my own victim complex. I like to whine about how lost, depressed, hopeless I am. I've put myself into a mindset where I feel helpless. I tell myself that I just "can't control myself" and how I always backslide to where I started. But what if it doesn't have to be like that? What if it's my own decision to backslide and give up, and go back to my old ways? What really stops me from saying "No" and moving forward forever? Nothing, my own limiting beliefs and victim mentality, that's it. I can do it, I can change if I really decide to. I can change right now. I don't have to keep struggling back and forth forever, this is madness. Whatever suffering I escape by giving up is nothing compared to how I suffer by drowning in this swamp I am living in now. Suffering comes from victimhood, uncertainty, and back and forth struggle.
  8. I mean sure, it's probably better. I just remember being into this topic a few years ago (mostly regarding dogs) and there was a youtube channel that I liked that did reviews of pet foods and basically all of them, including "premium" brands were not good. I generally agree. My only concern is that it's really hard to know what is the right diet for your pet. Like you might think that you dog is thriving on whatever diet you give to him and then he will die 5 years earlier than he could have and you will never even know about it. Okay, that's a good point. *Parrot also probably won't survive in the wild unless you live near the Amazon rainforest or something like that, haha. I am not sure about rats. I think pet rats are different from the ones that live in in streets.
  9. @Lila9 my logic is that getting a pet is something that you by choice, nobody makes you. You can't even get accidentally pregnant with a pet like you could with a child. So if this is your own choice, you might as well approach it responsibly and do your best. And I understand that sometimes you feel like you really want to have a pet but might not be able to provide the best conditions for it. I feel like that myself sometimes. I still think that the best decision is to avoid getting one if that's the case. Or get a pet that you are able to take care of. Because it's not like you can only get a cat or a dog. There are also rabbits, hamsters, rats, fish, parrots, etc. Like seriously, if you are vegan, why not get yourself a rabbit? They are cute as hell, you can still play with them and cuddle them, and it's much easier to feed them. Or a parrot. Parrots are really cool, be cause they can be very smart and you can teach them to do all sorts of things. And if you raise them properly they will let you to pet them, rub their head, will sit in your shoulder, etc. Edit: Look at this, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen
  10. Probably still less harmful. Pet food has basically all the same negatives of meat from a grocery store baked into it (antibiotics, animal eating random crap, being kept in horrible conditions, etc.) plus much lower quality standards and all the additional stuff that's added in the production process. I guess you could get some high quality meat and eggs either from smaller local suppliers or some brands that sell that kind of stuff if you really care.
  11. @Lila9 most processed pet food is really low quality and causes all sorts of illnesses, including cancer.
  12. Guys, please dont torture your cats. It goes against the principles of veganism to force feed a carnivore animal vegan diet. If it's that important to you, just buy a rabbit instead. Or you can get a rescue cat from a shelter instead. Because it would eat meat until it's death anyway.
  13. @Leo Gura okay, so it's not awakening. But what is it then? Could you explain in simple language what is a distinction between enlightenment and awakening? Is it correct to assume that awakening is like an insight / realization while enlightenment is a certain state of consciousness that you can be at?
  14. Correct? I mean, at least according to you?
  15. Слышишь, мама, голос разных кровей? Видишь, мама, эту буйную спесь? Дай мне, мама, сном забыться скорей. Моя родина здесь.
  16. To be strong and brave To be loving and caring To be truthful and integrous To be deep and meaningful To be noble and beautiful I wish I could live like that.
  17. Imagine being able to rise above all the human dirt and be able to live a noble, meaningful life based on your own principles. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
  18. @Breakingthewall thank you. So it's kind of experiencing vs understanding?
  19. @Yimpa sorry for lashing out. But I just wanted to learn Leo's understanding of what enlightenment means in general.
  20. @Yimpa leave me alone
  21. @Yimpa I read it. I was asking about what enlightement is.
  22. But what's the point of making posts about how nobody on this forum is awake if you can never know. Is it like a prophylactic measure against your students possibly getting distracted by those types of claims coming from other people? In that case. Does it have less to do with the Truth and more with sticking to good practices and principles? Because I agree that it's a good practice to stay humble, openminded, and wary of other people who claim to be awake. But it doesn't mean that it's true that there are no awake people on this forum, right?
  23. @Leo Gura do you believe any of your students could ever awaken? If you do, how would you know that? Like if someone makes a post tomorrow saying that they have followed your teachings and finally became awake. How would you know if it's true or not? Are you just going to tell them that they are not awake no matter what or is there a scenario where you would say: "ok, this guy is actually awake"?
  24. @Mahdi El-Mirak do you mean something like tarot cards reading? Also, by "video" you mean recording a video or having a live 1 on 1 call? What kind of personal information / inpur from the client do you need to do the reading?
