Would You Spend?

[The Monk]

Basically guys, I've got an issue my macbook pro has become very slow and I've bought in 2011, and have been kinda mistreating it. I want a new laptop, but simply want it to play game, it's a gaming laptop. As, my macbook pro can't run the newer games. But then again, it may be fun, but it may be a huge distraction and waste of money. I have already bought the life purpose course and around 16 self help books from Leo's list, should I get it? And how would you spend the money if you were me? I'm a student, 17 trying to get enlightened and looking for my life purpose.

Put it off, clean your Mac and make a Windows partition. Then game the shit outta that thing when you need a pause from becoming enlightened or finding your life purpose.

@Azrael Yes, but it will still have the overpriced crap specs that it has, and will still remain slow, and unable to run most games.

From that answer, you can read the solution you wanted me to say. Go ahead!

lol i fell into this trap after i got fustrated from doing self inquiry I went out and bought a $1,000 laptop to play WOW legion on took a vacation and spent 14 days 13 hours a day playing wow and at the end I was like that was a waste of time and then started back on track meditating and that gave me so much more joy then any of those hours could have. you just have to work through these things its a part of the journey... whether you do or dont thats how its suppose to be... but know falling into those distractions arent going to fix any of the issues why you fundamentally want to do those behaviors anyway your Ego wants you in those distractions but it doesnt feel that way, it feels like i just want to play a video game no problem right? but why do you want to do that? always wanting to do not be thats the modus operandi youve been living and have been giving you all the things in life you dont like.
