The trick to remaining as accurate as possible in your beliefs is to never desire a specific answer, to never choose what you believe. To simply accept what appears true, even if you find it abhorrent.
Once you understand this, it becomes easily to dismiss those people who chose their beliefs without any emotional reaction to them.
They committed philosophical suicide, hence they are useless for discovering truth. No reason to be upset at them, just wave them off and continue about your day.
Evidence and peer pressure perhaps can break one's opinion to rethink and change their minds.
It is far easier to be nice and moral while living in prosperity. The flip is that when misery and going without becomes severe enough, that is when the pitchforks begin to come out. That is when the talk stops and we find out what everyone truly is made of.
Part of what has gone so horribly wrong with the U.S. is we simply have lived for so long as the world's first hyperpower that entire generations of Americans have forgotten how to be Americans. They have gone soft and weak.
Part of that gets expressed as hatred of immigrants- the exact kind of people that we need more of right now. We need precisely the kinds of people who have the gumption to risk everything and have the hardness, the toughness and the sheer grit.
No, unless one has truly been up against it, they don't know what morality is. They are just a big mouthed, pompous POS. Until one has had to make the kind of decisions that keeps one up at night for decades, do things that others could never understand, faced impossible no-win situations in which the choices are just different degrees of bad, has really been up against it...
No. They don't know what morality is.
If I ever felt like training clients again, I would look among the poor. I would look among those fleeing a bad or abusive home. This is how stars are manufactured.
Give me the kinds of people who while young will break back into the facility after practice ends and who will throw the ball until midnight. I like the kind of people who don't settle for playing the guitar just enough. Give me someone who wants stardom badly enough to play until their fingers bleed. Give me someone who saw war firsthand and saw things that nobody should. People like this have a right to talk.
I can spot talent from a mile away. It's the same reason why I don't date. When it's right with a girl it simply happens. We meet and it's on. Open one's eyes and it is possible to see in a crowd precisely who is who and what is what. Anybody can do it.
If I had to train again, I would probably turn down almost all clients. I would have zero interest in sales. I would only care about success. Most contemporary Americans have utterly wrecked themselves and would never show up. I used to always get all the money up front. I had to learn that one the hard way. Before landing major clients who had the true fire, give them a week to think about it some more and suddenly grandparents start dying. The average person is a weak pathetic liar! So spare us the liberal/conservative/whatever babbling until one has it together.
No, morality is integrity. It means doing what one says. No blowing people sunshine and then fizzling out. It means showing up on time and actually getting from point A to point B without crumbling.
So don't give us this liberal/conservative religious/not hogwash. It's all talk. That is a golden sign of immorality.
It means that until one has it together they put away the video games, turn off OT and go out and get a freakin' job! Get 2 if one has to until one is on solid ground. That's morality and integrity. Being a homeowner with savings and investments is morality and integrity. Taking care of one's mind and body is morality and integrity.
Endless arguments and posts over the likes Donald Dump- or whatever people think will get the pixels dancing- are stupid. It doesn't matter which side of this/that/the other one is on until one is an active functioning adult.
Until then, it's all a delusion. It's brain rot.
937 dollars in the bank dude.........
Language is just a data transfer method between organic storage, telepathy would make it unnecessary and so it would probably die.
Compromise starts with the first person you meet. Or it should.
There was one show I saw where a character stated having friends weakens one as an individual due to having to compromise yourself. The feeling that only an outcast could be true to themselves, but it makes them stronger in their own opinions.
But those unwilling to compromise often end up in polarized situations and end up working in politics these days.
It's a scary place.
Compromise I think is needed for progress.
Trying to compromise with people who can't can be harmful.
