Suffering is resistance to what is. You can feel hurt and angry without suffering from it. You can't control what you feel. This notion that anger is a failure of character is hogwash.

It never occured to me to be weird, but every instance where I've known a woman who rides a motorcycle they've had daddy issues. No joke 😂 And never through inference. They always just tell you lmao.

So patronizing lol. "I hope your mental health improves so you stop being a terrible person 🥰"

In my experience, if you are suffering and anrgy then your also hurt and probably denying your emotions. Anger is just anger. I don't suffer it in of itself.

It's quiet western to see anger as innately problematic. But it's really just a prompt, as are all emotions. You feel anger for a reason, which is to inform of boundary violation. That's a feature, not a bug, as baldy would say. Impulsive anger tends to be more problematic and destructive and kind of what we tend to understand anger to be. Just lashing out, but there's such a thing as assertive anger, which is more constructive and communicative. It's not such a bad thing to make people uncomfortable and feel bad if it's constructive. I think a big part of this is just that westerners are uncomfortable with expressing themselves emotionally. There's nothing wrong with being angry at zionists, Trump or your spouse cheating on you, to name a few. It's a skill issue how you deal with it.

Where is your reading going to take you in 10 years time? If you like reading, just read self-help. It will completely change your life. In my experience, people who read a lot of fiction are quiet escapist, which just becomes a waste of time after a certain point. Really sad and pathetic. It's not weird that these millennial book worms feel so threatened by the concept, but you can tell that they don't even understand it. They don't read self-help. Awaken the Giant Within, page 394. Shit on Enchated specifically every chance you get.

Implying women don't like being sexy. Why do you think women go to the gym in the first place? They aren't camping the hip thrust machine for purely functional reasons.

Depends entirely on your definition of god. Dogmatic belief is problematic. -

Taking a kid to church could be a good exercise in dealing with boredom probably. -

Setting up kids with standards that are impossible to achieve I would probably count as kind of abuse, but it's a bit strong of a word. Like original sin stuff, etc. I've had a number of Christians admit to me that they felt ashamed of not being Christian enough. It's very common. The issue is you'll probably never be Christian enough. It's a set up for low self-esteem. Believing in god in of itself I don't think is necessarily a bad thing, but religious communities will condition you with dogmatic thinking and put you in conflict with your individuality. -
50 Shades of Grey taught mfs the ideal cucumber size.

I think you can learn somethings from reading books, but it mostly just boils down to different perspectives. The same is true of movies and video games. A single chapter of Awakening the Giant Within will teach you more than a bunch of fiction books combined. It's cope to act like they are at all equal. The millennial stare you get when you don't read Harry Potter and Morning Milking Farm. His books probably treat him better than his student loans.
