Thanks.
I think he has incredible insight regarding life. No doubt he was going through tough times himself and yeah maybe he was depressed at that time. I think its the reality of life. Truth is we are all going through tough economic times now or at least I am. Still it depends on what we do about the situation that we are in. Learned helplessness is a thing. Understanding that there are options that we can take. Bezos said that about stress ! If you're stressed then what options do we have that could mitigate the stress ? How can we change ? What can we do to fix the stress ? Clearly there are things that we can do to alleviate those problems. or to solve the problem/s. If you don't have a lot of money and you smoke and drink then quite smoking and drinking. Sure alcohol does make one feel better temporarily but then it creates another issue. Some are strong enough to bring about change in their lives while some are just too weak or too broken inside to change or survive. I don't blame anyone for that. I see drugged out zombies and realize that they're going through some terrible shit in their life. I think people find that hard to deal with and just try to block it out which is understandable. I do it myself. thats what delusion is - its taking the blue pill instead of the red pill. We can't take on too much baggage lest we end up terribly depressed.
We must just ignore it get up go for a walk down the beach and enjoy that beautiful sunset. Life is what we make it in some degree. Sure we are all going through shit at the moment some of us are looking at the gutter others are looking at the stars in the Belt of Orion.
Make sure you always walk every day and eat right. Nutrition affects our mood. If your not getting enough magnesium or other important vitamins and minerals you can end up bed rotting and feeling very depressed. Again that's an option. Bad options have bad consequences! yes the world has some beauty like the beach or a forest or a huge lake in NZ.
I hike can lift your spirits.
Oh Friedrich Nietzsche! I tried to read his books they're interesting and somewhat truthful in a way that's positive but it also dark. I think he went insane didn't he or maybe we are lead to believe that.
Anyway ! Enjoy that movie hopefully its positive !
Repression and resentment. Yes we have to shrug it off and move onto another chapter in our life.
Yes its true. Shit can really drag you down. Still mood is fickle. If you feel like shit then go for a walk, or a swim, or take a nice hot sauna, or an ice bath ! LOL I think boredom is sameness ! Try some new hobby or another adventure. Life is what we make it in that way.
