The Art of Letting Go

[darkness97]

a philosophy of life that i am trying to live by. i have realized that the universe is incredibly chaotic and unpredictable. the more you try to control it the more stressful life becomes. you are better off just putting yourself out there and seeing what happens. make peace with whatever happens and realize that a lot of the bad things that happen to you are not your fault. the worst case scenarios only exist in our minds. understand that they're are forces beyond your control that will bring both good things and bad things into you life.

the best course of action is to just take things as they come to you and adjust accordingly. you have to just let go and accept things as they are and be happy that it isn't worse. i employ a doing and not doing strategy in everything that i do. like watering a plant, but also letting it sit in the sun. talking to a girl and then leaving her be. studying for an hour and then taking a 3 hour break.

you may pay fucking thousands on a surgery only for a girl to like you fucking eyes dude. you may buy an armani suit for an interview only for the interviewer to see their child in you. there is no point in trying to control anything and you are better off just trying to enjoy life and let things happen on their own.

literally just don't try in life, but also try at the same time. this is legit why religious people tend to be happier. they just let go and let God take control. whether it be god or just the randomness of the universe. just like there is no reason to stress over the weather, most things in life are just beyond our control and not worth worrying about. dont try to hard, but dont be be afraid to try as well.

Dnr entire thread but this philosophy is trash. Can be used only as final push ie in situations where a lot of unimportant things keep falling apart so you take a risky move believing in muh let go. Or generally letting go of an experience that can be forgetted.

If you manage to self mutilate or watch your loved ones get brutally murdered and stay unbothered then i will believe ur philosophy has some value

Sry but until then ure just a faggot that talks from a higher ground

it isn't, taking a thought or philosophy to its extreme to render it useless is a common trop especially among spaces like these. the world is a sea of grey and not black and white. this appeal to the extreme is mental gymnastics.

even your preposition isn't what its for, or even what i outlined.

i have no idea why you would self mutilate, or watching your loved ones die is even relevant. most users here cry about being ugly, and girls not liking them. by your approach to this doesn't seem in good faith or even worth addressing. i'll reiterate,

my main idea is to stop trying to control things and accept things as they are. only worry and try to change things that are within your control and let go of things that aren't.

i'm not trying to speak from some high ground, more trying write things i wish i read years ago on spaces like these. think on my words carefully.

If you want to believe in such grand philosophy you need to think of greater problems than muh i cant breed? You cant believe in only what benefits you

Just say some things are not that bad

"my main idea is to stop trying to control things and accept things as they are. only worry and try to change things that are within your control and let go of things that aren't"

Ok i know youre saying this with ugly looks / looks determinism in your mind as the thing that cannot be changed . Watch my quotes list. Youre in control of nothing, you are just a process that can feel pain. You wont feel less pain if youre rational and believe in the things you say.

Let me make this very easy with a demonstration.

Right now, I can either keeping typing to you and try my hardest to try to get you to understand. That's me desperately trying to control a situation.

If I continue, I will have to defend arguments I'm not even making and go around in circles with you. Or, i can accept that no matter what i say you're first instinct is to be a contrarian. I am now letting go of this because your decision to engage with this is beyond my control. it's also not really worth it for me to try and help people who don't want it.

This will make me feel at peace. Learn from this m8

You are a contrarian as well It seems, but unlike him contradicting you, you are contradicting yourself

good one.

Instead of having a logical retort you use a gif of a crackhead retard with daddy issues

To be expected from a fake intellectual like yourself

 

[ChristianChad]

Its incredible how I literally came to the same conclusions as you word for word about a month ago, judging by reading the title and first few sentences

you may pay fucking thousands on a surgery only for a girl to like you fucking eyes dude. you may buy an armani suit for an interview only for the interviewer to see their child in you. there is no point in trying to control anything and you are better off just trying to enjoy life and let things happen on their own.

sounds similar to law of reversed effort
