Once you master the above ^^^^ you literally cannot take people seriously anymore because if you do....you will be stressed out. How would you feel if you woke up with the ability to detect lies/inconsistencies basically automatically without effort? What type of reality do you think that would be like? Everyone you meet is just walking around just lying consistently, speaking half-truths and you are aware of it?

It makes it hard for me to watch T.V. because they lie so much on there about sports, it makes it hard for me to watch Youtube because they lie so much on there, it makes it hard for me to talk to my friends because I detect their lies so much, its sad....the more aware you become, the more you HAVE to look at life and laugh. Cause humanity is just one big lie fest. You don't wanna know how much people lie around you, my gosh.

When I say lie by the way I DO NOT MEAN a malicious intent to deceive, I mean an intent to deceive to maintain a specific perceived identity. If a person wants to look strong, and is closely attached to this identity if you pay attention to their interactions with you and others they will subtlety always try to one up you or others around them because they have to be perceived as the best. I have a whole host of nuggets I could give you, but I'm telling you when you become aware of all these subtle ego games it will make you shake your head lol. 

So be careful what you ask for....because humanity is a bullshit fest and the only healthy thing to do is laugh at it all.

Well apparently this is the smartest solution. It always comes full circle.

What we call an idiot is just God being skillful at being unskillful. There are profound truths in everything. Can you see them in this video?
