  1. Paper has it's own vibe which is not possible on screen
  2. @Treewatcher It's not easy to move. It's really hard to unstuck oneself in such situation. I know it will take a lot work to get where I want to and still I may not have the fortune but the journey is worth it. We gotta play the cards we've been dealt with, I guess.
  3. @Nemra That is precisely why, I often find myself very lonely. Sometimes I regret getting enlightened. I am a very social and family guy. I constantly find myself judging and belittling others, though I don't want do that. A person like me want to make money to better the life of me and my family, fulfill other desires like sex, fun and travel etc. Doesn't matter how much I bullshit myself that I want to become this higher empathetic, spiritual being and some high class philosopher. I need to fulfill my basic needs and desires. These things money and sex doesn't come easy here. You need a speciall kind of skill set which is not neccessarily ethical. To flourish in kind of culture I am stuck in. *sorry for bad English
  4. @1337 hi pirate
  5. I don't know.
  6. There are some decisions that you make using rationality meaning you can equate pros and cons and ups and downs and can reach finally to clarity. And there are those which are not so easy and even expert opinions don't lead to clarity. For these stay with the questions and after some time your intiuation will lead to what feels right. Of course you need to have a level of awareness to get it. Impulsive decisions are not intuitive . That's what I have to say
  7. A motivational speaker/ Spiritual teacher from India, Sandeep Maheshwari calls tinnitus ''Sound of Silence ". He claims that it's an experience of raw conciousness and infinity/oneness.
  8. Hmmm, but there are some valid criticisms
  9. let's address your situation: Your friend's help was significant: Your friend provided crucial assistance during a severe medical emergency and your recovery period. This kind of support is invaluable and deserves genuine gratitude. The request for free housing is unusual: While it's normal to feel indebted after receiving such help, your friend's request for three years of free housing is not a typical or standard expectation. Generally, acts of kindness and support among friends are not considered transactional. Financial implications: You mention that you don't have sufficient funds to rent an apartment alone, while your friend does. This creates an imbalanced situation where you might be put under financial strain to accommodate his request. Duration of the request: Three years is a significant period and could have long-term impacts on your living situation and finances. Consent and comfort: Living with someone should be a mutual decision based on compatibility and shared desires, not obligation. Given these points, here are some suggestions on how to handle this situation: Open communication: Have an honest conversation with your friend about your feelings and financial situation. Express gratitude for their help but also your concerns about the current arrangement. Explore alternatives: Discuss other ways you might show your appreciation that don't involve such a long-term financial commitment. This could include helping them in other ways or agreeing to a shorter period of shared living. Set boundaries: If you're not comfortable with the arrangement, it's okay to say no. True friendship should be able to withstand honest communication and boundary-setting. Seek mediation: If you're having trouble communicating effectively, consider involving a neutral third party, like a mutual friend or a professional mediator, to help navigate the conversation. Legal consultation: If needed, consider consulting with a legal professional about your rights and obligations in this situation, especially if there's any formal agreement in place. Remember, while gratitude is important, it's also crucial to maintain your own well-being and financial stability. A true friend should understand this and be open to finding a solution that works for both parties. -Claude AI
  10. Very nice to read. I thought Misr was slightly liberal than the Arab or is it used to be?
  11. You should be enormously thankful for Internet just for Actualized.org If internet didn't exist, you might had not been able to find Leo. Through internet people are able to speed up the psychological and spiritual growth and be more educated.
  12. @Majed There are other ways which only smart men know😁
  13. I think most people are not serious enough to walk the path of self-actualization. Although a very few high intelligence and high consciousness people are fit for this journey.
  14. It would have been overall good for the world if he had died.
  15. Having a good physique can definitely enhance your appearance, and physical attractiveness can be just as important as charisma in attracting someone. However, the most valuable aspect of going to the gym shouldn't be solely about building muscle mass. It's a fantastic way to improve your overall health and well-being, boosting your confidence, self-esteem, and discipline. The benefits are undeniable, as long as you maintain a healthy balance and avoid becoming overly obsessed with aesthetics.
  16. You say it as if suffering is something that can be used willingly. Don't put your self-esteem on how much you suffer abd grow by it. You could always grow better by other means. Sufferig is a curse. Yet it is a way to appreciate the infinite intelligence of an infinite mind.
  17. Undergoing high degree of physical or psychological or emotional pain usually for an extended period of time.
  18. Suffering is when you're helpless about a situation and you can't avoid it by any mean.
  19. You don't choose to suffer. It's God inflicted. That's is suffering.
  20. Suffering isn't good or healthy. No one likes it or it's not suffering. If you're asking whether you can be at ease while having any type of suffering or not. The answer is not simple. You can get use to anything (I've become to being poor). You can manipulate yourself to create meaning out of your suffering. But it doesn't really change how you feel. Ultimately you have to clench your teeth, bear it and work to better your situation.
  21. It's a movie scene, not reality. In real life, perhaps only one in thousands would lay his life for his pride. Reality is more harsh, raw and nuanced than ideals and imagined scanarios.
