The problem is that most people who upload such videos or state such issues actually do it with the intention to undermine actual issues. Very rarely is it with the genuine intent to focus on the problem they describe. For example, it would have looked more genuine if the person at the beginning of such presentation said something like "hey I understand real racism is very bad and much worse and I'm not trying to undermine that, I just wanted to bring focus to a minor issue, but this in no way should be interpreted as a downplaying of regular real racism", now if that person had said something like that, then it can be appreciate, but the way such things are presented it almost appears like a parody or trolling or mockery of bigger issues. -

@w4read it should be discussed only when it becomes relevant enough to be discussed. Right now it's racism which is the biggest issue. -
Incredible documentary

So I had this insight this morning. About collective improvement. That each one of us is capable of evil and dark thoughts. But at the same time the only way to start the new path (the path to a spiritual life) is to give up our older selves and come completely clean, say out aloud all the lies and all the truths, not leave anything to speculation and scrub out the older self (the old narcissistic traits or behaviors or any bad mistakes, thoughts) and keep scrubbing out slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly slowly and becoming this new clean person ready to start a new path, a new life, a new spiritual life. And I think everyone who is ready to lead a moral life can do this. I will call this collective improvement. Instead of looking at things in a very black and white perspective where you think that a certain person has to be the devil who has to go through atonement and demonization with constant bullying and lynch mob pitchfork mentality, why not think that people are capable of positive change and become better people. When you blame someone and find someone to burn it's almost as if you're calling a fat person fat fat fat fat fat but you don't want them to lose that weight, you kinda want them to stay fat so you can keep calling them fat. But what if they change? Will you be able to appreciate this change? Or will you call this a ploy for sympathy or damage control. We're human beings and we have to accept human nature. To consider ourselves saints and Incapable of any error is an inherent form of narcissism in itself. To be able to understand and accept one's own flaws in their entirety and then take a pledge to move on and improve on those flaws, to become a better person after learning better, that's the right way to grow. To halt this growth in oneself and others is also narcissistic. What I find is that people will move on whether you call them good or bad. If you don't want to hop on the train of collective improvement, well it's your loss and you will be left behind with all your flaws because of your never ending self righteousness. If you think that you are smart, you're right all the time, you're the go to authority for everything in life, you're the best person, that you can never do wrong and that your judgement is always right, you're invincible, and you think that you will never do any wrong in life, you're basically setting up yourself for failure and blinding yourself to your own flaws and errors. Such people can never be a part of collective improvement. Self righteousness is another thing that keeps us away from spirituality. I've realized that in order to change you have to be aware and accept human frailties and flaws. Also I've realized that evil will never be truly non existent. It will always be there. Evil will always be there. But like autism, evil is also on a spectrum. Even narcissism is on a spectrum. That means that some people do lesser evil and some people do greater evil. But those who do lesser evil are capable of overcoming it. But not those who are self righteous and engage in finger pointing behaviors because they can never overcome anything. They leave no room for it. I believe that we can all collectively improve and lead a sane moral life. I want to be able to create hope where people who do wrong things can improve and are open to improving rather than have this black and white mentality of one person being the devil and the other person is an angel. One thing that we would need is to clean house and completely shed the older skin in which we lived.. And then start new pure, clean fresh like pure fresh water. To me pure clean fresh water represents spirituality. You know how it feels. It is cleaning every dirt from your face and body. You have to clean your spirit in the same way as well. Your past mentality, your old beliefs, your narcissistic ways, your old bad behaviors, your flaws, when not scrubbed out, they become like a thick cloak over you and this thick cloak does not allow new light, new insight, new spiritual ways to penetrate you. You become impenetrable because of this layer of gunk of old skin (old mentality) over you.. If you keep this old mentality like that and don't get rid of it, it also interferes with your new path and makes your new path corrupted and redundant. There is no point in learning new spiritual techniques and enlightenment if your pre-enlightenment old patterns of thinking are going to remain the same. It's like... you know, before enlightenment chop wood carry water, and after enlightenment, chop wood carry water. I know it can mean something else but I don't like it in this context that you remain the same person with the same old beliefs. I won't call that spiritual growth.

When one is on the path of enlightenment, one will be protected by the Higher Power, and will have the wisdom and love to transmute energies which do not serve.. Trust the one.

I've hit Rock Bottom. And I need to get up and keep moving. Things have been terrible lately. Not coping well with my depression and it seems like I'm sliding down. I was kinda depressed over the last two weeks.. Some of my insights came from the depth of my sadness and helplessness But I'm trying.. I'm trying to get up. Sometimes I feel like I'm better off dead. But guess I have to live this life one way or another. This is my record of me trying to get back to normalcy after hitting rock bottom. I'm still in the rock bottom stage and I feel absolutely miserable. Maybe in a month or two I will be in better place.. I just hope and pray that I'm able to pull myself out of my personal hell

This man is my hope.

Yesterday my family decided to give up on me. They don't want to talk to me anymore. It's heartbreaking. But I'm trying to console myself. If nobody loves me, then there is God to love me.. God wants me if nobody wants me. . It's ok.

Leo's words are so encouraging.

You know what, it's all in your mind. It's an illusion, nothing more. If a real intelligent man came in front of Shapiro and argued him, he would be shitting his pants. He would not even turn up for the debate. What you see is massive deception. -

You don't get my point. Harvard is an institution like any other.. A degree only holds value in the real sense when the person who acquired it shows real merit. The degree is real because the paper and stamp and seal is real. But that means nothing. If a person did not use his education to enlighten people with truth, their education is farcical. In this case, Shapiro might have exercised his brain to get better scores on a piece of paper. But focus on his actions. All he does is right wing propaganda. That's a sign of mind games. Mind games are played by people with low intelligence and high deception. Hence his degree is a farce and not an accurate indicator of his merit
