One of the most powerful concept of life is emptiness
we understand that from emptiness
it emits anything that is being seen, heard, smell, taste, touched, willed

and since everything comes from the same source
It doesn't have a division
good/bad, right/wrong, get/losing, beautiful/ugly
they're from the same essence
the reason why each of us look "different"
It's we are handed a different script since the first day we born

Once you realize that there's inherently no division
you will start realizing
our thoughts, memories, anything that can easily be measured in our mind
these can all be empty (impermanence)
and we hence, we can start consciously witnessing the positive or bad emotions in our mind
hence we will not be easily attached or suffer

this is probably the best key to true satisfaction of life
not how many physical things, or wealth you acquire on this planet

If you read this post
and can start questioning the bullshit that this world has ingrained onto you
Congratulations, you're few steps away to be your own master.

TL;DR version, if you give less fuck to literally everything positive or negative, you live a better life

get off social media and tiktok brainrot and we will achieve emptiness

which beckons in this scenario,

where you find yourself staring down at a ripples and splashes of lake at the wee hours of the night, your clothes soaking up every drop of rain, just you - alone, not another soul within sight, with nothing else on your mind other than whether to take the plunge into the dark waters below.

That is also another form of emptiness - when your mind set to "absolutely nothing matters" is perhaps, a very .. different perspective.

the whole social media and validation seeking is a coping mechanism, yes human beings do require some form of validation but too much of it will lead to hedonism and feeling empty

but that kind of empty is not true being free
Its a probably an opening question of why we do what we do now

I'm filled with hatred to be brim

give less luck was actually a phrasing from stoicsm

In Buddha meaning of life, everything is just a temporary, always change happened. We from nothing and one day will return with empty hand (karma/ credit diff story).

Why, sis? What happened?

isn't this also the core principle of stoicism?

No need...my wallet already got "emptiness"

Seriously

Why call me "sis"?

but the problem is
most people cannot accept their wallet already empty
so if a person cannot accept it
then he or she will subconsciously find ways to prove themselves they're not good enough

for example
a guy who goes to ktv every night to drink will think only money is able to attract women because he doesn't believe that emptiness apply here, that other factors can also affect whether a girl likes him or not

for someone that talk a lot about sex, i am surprised you opened this kind of thread.

I want to type this….u have typed.

Being able to detach is really useful. Can help me out in many ways.
Meditation trains the mind

cause I already passed that period
If you chase sex too much it's like chasing wealth as well

I didn't mention once I realized about emptiness, I stopped engaging with women all at once

We still breathe eat and sleep
but the fact is the lens we coming from, can be different
