hard lesson: don't get attached to "positive". Life's greater than joy. Life's greater than "things happening the way we want they to happen". Life's a great mix of surprises. acceptance is the real Key. living each instant exactly as they are is True Freedom.

this is what worked (and still works) for me: REAL HARD WORK

no. it's already the arrival.

@zoey101 we suffer because we don't want to give up on egoic desires. we're addicted to possessiveness and stubbornness. we want to control people and it's frustrating when we fail. we suffer because we're childish. it's that simple. face yourself and let go of selfishness.

@Enachescu Dragos embrace loneliness and turn it into solitude.

wisdom is expertise at experiencing Life at its BEST

good questions. short answer: time. you will gather what you sow.

by learning how to be content even when nothing is happening. kindness, compassion, patience... all of these virtues show up when you're happy with this moment right now. when we practice "do nothing" all the reasons behind our discontentment become crystal clear. enough talk. gonna meditate.

everytime you start wondering how you should meditate, just sit down and do nothing. it's that simple.

@Alien why do you want an alternative? just quit it for once

don't mind PUAs. mankind deeply sick overall. the best one can do is build a beautiful family on top of the highest human values: virtues.

concentration and willpower. don't be slave of destructive habits, no matter what they are. stop trying to find a reason and quit the bad habit already. focus and stop. that's how we destroy bad habits. stop lip-picking and face the anxiety that will arise from abstinence at once.

oh nice. you're welcome so... another mathematician!

@Wouter i use jekyll and github. this is my blog and this is the source code. feel free to fork it and edit it as you wish.

sounds like self-deception in order to get the ego inflated. you will suffer immensely as long as you keep up with that struggle to hold that pride in your chest. believe me. i was just like that. let go already.

open your heart completely. this image alone already contains precious teachings:

let her go. if she doesn't want to be with you, why do you humiliate yourself? no. this has been my attitude towards life for 3+ years and i'm experiencing a HUGE quality increase in all aspects of my life. it's just that culture teaches us otherwise. we're taught to be egoists. we're told that altruists are trampled by society. and you're just repeating that without even having experienced it for yourself. be free!

i bet you're not starving. i also bet you have a place to sleep and a bathroom to go everytime you need. you don't know what you're talking about when you say "basic needs".

learn to trust yourself first. don't demand loyalty. be loyal to your partner, but be loyal to yourself first. enjoy the presence of others, but enjoy solitude first.

pick a week to stay away from distractions. just a week. i know you can do it. then see how you'll feel after that.
