Sometimes getting what you want doesn't make you happy. Can you share an example of when you realized this in your own life?

Does the spiritual path make someone more of a sociopath? As we notice conscious and unconscious biases and oust them from our perception, do we become increasingly able to speak and conduct our selves in a manner conducive to compelling others to give us what we want, becoming a better liar, manipulator and conman? Is the deeper your love of fellow humans and animals, the deeper your potential for hatred? Do all of our emotions deepen with the spiritual path, including anger and hatred? Can someone provide some insight here. Thanks.

How do u differentiate "compassion" from a form of self deluding? Is the pain you're feeling of another person something you're actually seeing in the other person or are you just making it up when it's not really there in them? Compassion not only seems arbitrary for survival, but if other sentient beings don't exist, the pain you are feeling for them isn't actually there in that person. Should we have compassion?

Please share examples of black enlightenment teachers, thank you

I'm travelling to India, any good retreats there to check out? I would prefer donation based as I'm on a budget. Thank you

What were the most transformative social skills insights you had? I'm posting because I don't really know how to socialize with most groups of people. I don't understand how what they're talking about could be interesting and why we should talk about it. I can't even make friends with people who should be similar to me. I've watched lots of youtube videos but I don't seem to get any better. I'll start: the look in your eye dictates the conversation you'll have with them.
