Nothing against trying to build skills. But dismissing women's perspectives is not exactly beneficial to women either if the goal is to make women happy. Neither is it a lose lose game if you listen to women. Integrating the feminine experience and viewpoint doesn't exactly degrade a man's masculinity, rather it enriches it.

This is not true in my personal experience. A woman has to be low conscious if she just doesn't look for anything in a man in terms of values. I think many many women (you can see the women on this forum alone), that they look for important values in a man. They do give a fuck about what men do in terms of personal work.

This statement was kinda unnecessary. You could have simply said 5 feet 6 guy but even then it would have been a jab at short men. On top of that there was no need to specifically mentioning "Indian." Not saying that I'm offended but the comment is kinda racially insensitive, offensive and derogatory plus trying to enforce a stereotype Lots of hot Indian men There was absolutely no need to mention another race.

@Tangerinedream I thought the same.

This is a fundamental stage orange philosophy not saying that it's wrong but different perspectives can exist as well, we can have stage Green leadership where how much value is being contributed is not always used as a test but the overall welfare of people is simply dependent on how they choose to maximise their own value without it being compared to the value provided by others. This of course needs a high consciousness thinking on the part of the individuals involved who are trying to be cooperative rather than competitive.

I'll keep a track of my class homework in this journal. Last week I enrolled into an art class. So along with psychology classes I'm also attending art class. It's just for short periods of time everyday. I requested them that I can't devote too much time to it since I also have my psychology classes in the term. So they allotted me short durations. And I'm also going to be joining language learning classes. I already applied for it and it will begin soon.

I don't know honestly how to maintain a decent sleeping schedule. It's kinda hard. Especially that's the only time I get when I feel like I want to read something.

I kinda resonate with what a lot of women are saying on this thread.. I mean women kinda sense it together intuitively if something doesn't feel like it's coming from a genuine place. To create a wholesome understanding it's important to "not ignore" what women have to say as dismissive nonsense or the most oft used "the rabbit can't teach the wolf how to hunt," kinda inappropriate in my opinion with regard to dating. This won't help at all in understanding a woman's psyche. I guess a similar sentiment was expressed by @Emeraldnot long ago.

@RickyFitts seeing you after a long time. Hope things are going great.

@Tangerinedreammade a post long ago about these things. Wonder what happened to those promises that were supposedly going to be delivered on in that thread.

I need this as well. I had a strong reading habit as a kid. Then life came along and kinda didn't have the luxury for it Need to brush up my reading skills once again. Watch videos about reading for more input and I'll do the same. Yesterday I stopped at an old bookstore on my way to the bank and I was wondering if I wanted to pick a book. Sigh. I didn't. I need a bit of a confidence boost to feel like I can complete a book. My biggest fear is leaving the book halfway through reading and never finishing it.

@Knowledge Hoarder to be fair and honest I just view the whole point of judging someone as excellent or mediocre as very fruitless, just another classic ego defense or one upmanship, it does not create a space for cementing humanity together, rather rivaling, competing and diving and sort of is born out of an elitist mindset that does not believe in equal opportunity for everyone, but rather "I deserve more than you" kinda mentality that only leads to more personal conflict imo, but embracing and accepting mediocrity in itself opens your eyes to the uniqueness that is found in every individual. So tomorrow if I have children, I'm not going to look at my child and compare him/her to other kids and if my child turns out to appear average among other kids, I am not going to tell my child that, rather I will tell my child that they definitely have something wonderful and unique to explore within themselves, that they don't need to be better than everyone else to feel valued, but that they are good as they are and that they should appreciate themselves either way, mediocre or not mediocre.

Sometimes mediocre people are better than spiritual people. You never know what a mediocre (or the person who is considered as mediocre) can offer in a relationship. My dad was usually considered the most mediocre in a group of men at his age, yet he was the best dad ever. He passed away many years ago but he left a legacy of beautiful memories of the quality time he spent with me. The possibility to judge others as mediocre and to judge oneself as superior or more deserving of something than the "mediocre" person perhaps needs more shadow work and pondering upon to do, it is possibly coming from a place of shame or envy or pride. You might think as though they are having mediocre lives, but in their perspective (or in their own eyes so to. Speak) they are probably having the best time of their lives. So who gives a flying fuck what anyone thinks of them as long as they are happy, it's not their job to level up to someone's ego.

I don't think it is so cut and dry or black and white so to speak. A lot of learning can happen through shared ideas. And when one person or expert speaks about a particular insight, I think people try to gain something from it for themselves and offer their own insights in return. I think this is a phenomenon where our brain gets fired to rewire again. So it's like a spontaneous transmission of information where you immediately pick on something new and there is always a part of your brain that has some relative insights about that concept, it's just that it never clicked earlier. And I believe in synchronicity where many people can come with similar concepts, insights and ideas at once or during a particular period. Either way, I don't see any harm in people coming up with their own perspectives on a new concept, no matter how half baked they might appear.

I'm going to divide my time into pre-lunch and post-lunch to make it easier to keep track. To be honest I kinda feel guilty for sleeping.

Now I need to gather myself Okay what are the things I need to focus on next??? Class homework Taskmasters Spiritual work Meditation Reading habit

My psychology, arts and language teachers, all of them are females and they are all good and i get along with them quite well. (reminding myself to read)

My art class has been scheduled for every Monday and Friday. And rest of the days will be used by language learning lessons and psychology class. I'm kinda excited because even though I'm a slow learner I'm still curious and passionate to explore things. In the meantime I'll also focus on spiritual work.. This is exciting!

I slept for a solid hour. I get too sleepy during winter hehe.

@Marcel thank you hun.

I don't like tyt. More like a bunch of peddlers in my eyes. But I do think that they brought some lethal awareness to the problem of police brutality. I wasn't aware of police brutality until they brought it to my consciousness.. So I'll give them the credit for that. Otherwise and apart from that, I think they have probably contributed to worsening race relations in America with their covert rhetoric.

Art stuff and decorative stuff.

Condolences. It's best to stay more in the present moment and not worry too much about a future that is not going to benefit much.

I remember watching this show called Weird or What as a kid. Epic nostalgia.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Columbanus, a missionary from Ireland, built the monasteries which became Europe's first universities, established a writing system, and risked his life when he demanded leadership from kings and even popes
