Can you guys remind me again why you're doing this?

The ability to be at peace

Everyone struggles with it. Would be nice to have some societal hooks so that more people could be confidently serene

And then go about their day


What do you mean by societal hooks?

The ability to be at peace, in my world view, stems first and foremost from the ability to be at peace with yourself. Being able to look in a mental mirror, and accepting the image staring back as yourself, warts and all. It's not exactly liking every last imperfection, rather not feeling guilty for not measuring up in all aspects to the ideals of a society or dreams of your younger self. Accepting that you are not the universal paragon and probably never will be, all the while not giving up on the idea of improving yourself.

Only when one can be locked in a room with oneself for a measure of time and not get in a fight, can we talk about being at peace with society and other external factors.


Jesus Christ dude...

Oppressors don't like people talking about their oppression

Go figure


It's unfortunate they got caught. It is nice to be reminded that every community has people willing to fight for freedom though.

This is equally true for game design

I'll often have a video game open. Play about 10-15 minutes, and then spend 1-2 hours practicing the knowledge gained.

It's inspiring


Your arguments directly conflict

You mean commercial navigation


Food for thought

Thanks


You can defeat someone without killing them. You can defeat someone without attacking them.

You don't even have to be in the same room as someone, nor in the same century, to defeat someone.


Someone is experiencing materiel gain, that's for sure.
