It's sad that suffering is needed to wake up. It's also sad that those who have woken up cannot escape their suffering..

Just when I stayed up late last night playing video games until 11pm yesterday which I really shouldn't have done which led me to have terrible sleep and sleep deprivation and am still feeling pretty shitty from it as I write this.

Guess I learned this lesson first-hand before you even made this thread.

You've only learned the lesson if your behavior will be different next time ;)

@Leo Gura It's happened to me before and I did make good progress for many weeks. But I've been back-sliding again for the past couple weeks or so so it was probably just an ego-backlash.

I've aimed to re-commit to my positive pursuits yet again but overall, I have been making progress in the long-term.

Changing is painful, so life pushes us forward by making the concequences of not-changing even more painful :D

Mika really milks Christie's statement. She goes slow, squeezes and pulls those teets good.

ooohhhhh yeahhhh it is. most awakenings happen due to suffering. it's basically part of the grand design. mine sure came from suffering. 

really doesn't sound like he is doing well... I'm guessing his health really took a hit and he didn't get that $100,000 steroid treatment Trump did. I guess herman cain dying wasn't enough... how many right wingers have to die before they wake up?

oh wow, so I looked it up and he was in the ICU for 7 days... he really was on the brink of dying and probably was scared shitless.

Often times, the most bitter medicine is most beneficial.

Yea. By making you do the less painful thing. That is, wearing a mask! ;)

I think it’s worth mentioning that empathy certainly helps, but it can only do so much. It’s just an approximation. Some things have to be learned the hard way.

People in power don't have empathy. That's how they got in power ;)

I'm the best at learning my lessons. In my previous life I changed from a man on the streets to an enlightened millionaire, but then I reincarnated into the fool I am now.

When you play video games in a state of mindfulness, you won't experience guilt. Even when you experience dullness next day, you'll be equipped with the skills to work with it. If it is not possible, due to strict mindfulness training, you'll feel better after a 20 min nap. 

Playing the games is not the issue. Your mental reaction of guilt after playing is. Be careful how you condition your mind and impute certain emotions with activities.

Much love,

There is a 95% chance Trump mocked him behind his back to a staff members 

“Maybe if he wasn’t so big ya know ? Jeez  I know I’m not so hot now at 70 but Christie is like ginormous.”
