Something Funny

@Scholar I don't know. I haven't gotten around to studying Elon yet. But that was not the point of what Leo was saying.

@Scholar it's literally one paragraph... The insightful thing is that everyone is on a bandwagon of judging Elon based on Twitter comments and other random social media posts they see about it. This is very unoriginal and unintelligent. A smart thing to do would be to actually study him, without judgement, and gain deeper understanding of his personality, and then form your opinion based on that. Because there are things that you could respect about him, even if his politics are bad.

@Scholar

@Scholar you should check Leo's comments about Elon. He has a point.

@LordFall I didn't say that my actions have no effect on others. I said that I am not responsible for making everyone around me feel happy. I've done this my whole life. I've been a people pleaser my whole life. Worrying about every little thing and sacrificing my own interests in order to not upset anyone. Trust me, it didn't lead to anything good.

@Scholar

I see Okay

Why?

But even Leo said that you can't know what will happen. I hate it when people try to guilt trip you with this argument. I am not responsible for other people's happiness. Asking a person to keep suffering for the sake of not hurting somebody else's feelings is selfish.

Yeah, I agree. I don't know why but it's hard to judge their decision without full information. I was mostly asking for opinions on this. That's what I've been thinking as well.

Thanks. My ego doesn't hate itself.

Amount of work required to do this is different for different people. For me, it feels like I would have to overhaul my whole life and being. I meant if it's worth it in comparison to avoiding all the struggle required to get there and just dying and seeing what comes next.

@Lila9 it's nice to be at the point where you are and be able to enjoy your life experiences. But not all people are there. And I guess in this case my question would be: is it worth bothering and putting it all the effort to get there?

@ICURBlessings that's very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how "real" those experiences are. Them being similar could simply be a result of everyone being human and sharing the same brain structure.

@Bandman <3 how are you doing?

@Keryo Koffa thanks for sharing. Yeah, I guess there are still things to do. And life could be an enjoyable experience if you do it right. But often times life sucks and it feels like too much to bother. I can't say that I feel afraid of what comes after life, mostly just curious. I think you could die in a chill way. Without feeling sad or negative.

That's a good point. Probably the most honest and no bullshit response I've got so far. Although some of the coolest things were done on belief. And I am really curious about what's on the other side.

@Leo Gura ok

I know, just asking your opinion

I see. Thank you. If I were to commit to it, what kind of results can I expect (more or less)?

I don't get the metaphor. If Leo is still trying to fix my car, then he IS a mechanic?

I use that word the way I like it. I consider Leo to be my guru. You are free to have your own definition.

@Ishanga that does sound nice. Lots of people also do hardcore yoga practices, retreats, fasts, meditations, etc., get amazing insights, but also fail to integrate it and so none of it sticks.

Dying also feels like ultimate freedom

@Leo Gura but you are my guru I just practiced random yoga and breath work exercises from random people, and did some meditation techniques from your videos. It felt good while I did them, but like I said, I don't think they did anything permanent. I guess I developed better self-awareness.
