.I recommend watching this video



I was thinking recently about making a thread on how I am now able to get a feeling that resembles pleasure out of reflecting on my suffering / misfortune

It's said that there is beauty in suffering as it can lead to profound personal growth and a deeper appreciation for life.

Just reflecting on my recent night out where I can get approached by prime foids and still end up feeling like I am lightyears away from making any real progress with one is something I just have to laugh at as there is a beauty lined within this, knowing that your outer self is enough but your inner self couldn't be further from what others desire.

Two times where I felt genuinely saddened and defeated within the past year allowed me to create my 2 best pieces of music to date

The older I get, the more I start to think that pleasure is simply the absence of suffering
Sometimes I wake up and for a moment I don't care that I'm nowhere close to my goals but I realize that the absence of suffering in that moment is enough justification for life and all of the suffering one endures to be worth it

Nihilists will say that the suffering you experience in life is disproportionate to the amount of pleasure you experience therefore it's better to have never been born

I believe that just existing in a few moments without suffering after spending your entire life with a low level, constantly impending sadness from never making the social progress you want, is enough to justify existence

Yolo.

How terrible is wisdom when it gives no profit to the wise?

If you don’t look at your suffering with optimism or a goal then you’re no better than chasing the dragon or coping. Unlike the average goer here who uses this platform as a place to stay and miss the point of ascending, more so deliberately misses what objective optimistic mentality is required. You moved me onto whitepill so for that and all other sorts of wisdom I thank you 🙏
