I'm surrounded with devils

[Zeroguy]

Even on this forum is easy to see devilry let alone in real life. How to cope?

Follow your passion, create beautiful things, and stop reacting to negative things.

Also, stop blaming this forum. You are lucky to be here.

This is good advice.

It's totally understandable that you're feeling this way. It can be tough. When you see others too focused on themselves, on survival, while ignoring the simple beautiful things in life, and causing collateral damage in their chase, it makes perfect sense to call it out as devilry. Like who in their right mind would do that? Right?

Selfishness is its own punishment though. I have never seen anyone happier or more peaceful than selfless gurus who devoted their lives to spread love and awareness and to help others. Those gurus possess some kind of halo that's so present, calm, and attractive in nature. I feel so drawn to them. They help me understand myself and the world around me and accept the selfishness I see in myself and others.

Do you have a favourite spiritual teacher? Mine is Adyashanti.

Thanks man those are some wise words. Thanks for explaining selfishness.

I don't have any. Maybe Leo but I disagree on solipsism.
