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

yes instead of masturbating and looking at all these stupid TikTok videos and Instagram fake bullshit

Every person got make mistake. It’s ok bro. I not targeting you or saying you. 👍

different paradigm of people require different teaching
for example, if you talk about enlightenment to a kindergarten kid, they see you like talking shit....because they haven't gone through that fall-and-stand up period

it's like saying I don't need money when a person hasn't earned that kind of money. You get what I meant?

You've to actually haved lived the process before announcing to let go

so now you voluntary celibate?

I can control my own desire easier now
back in my early 20s, my mind was full with horniness because in my high school day I lack of interaction with females

I got a headache just reading the crap that TS posted.

that's ok man..cause you may be confused

He f`ked his way into wisdom

Not a bad way to reach it

Seem like your wallet already reach nirvana...owai

my cheongster friend said something like this before also

talk only, when empty your wallet.

donate to all of us... don't just talk, walk the talk

It is never easy to be an exile. Yet the best fighters are always the "exiles," because the exile knows how to fight darkness with darkness.

amitabha

thousands years ago Siddhartha sat down the tree and enlightened

a person has to earn their way to be fully complete
It's like saying a kid born is automatically claimed to be fully privilege, this is not good for a person self development

a person EGO has to be smashed multiple times, so that themselves realize they're not totally invincible because it makes them arrogant

so to claim right away donate to all of you
It means that yours don't need to do the work
that's a child.

The confusion arose due to reading a bunch of meaningless text which goes round and round, originating from a delusional mind.
Hopefully this person recovers soon from whatever he or she is suffering from.

That’s why I always say, as an atheist, the only “religion” that makes sense to me is buddhism because it is not so much about blind faith in an invisible sky daddy but about discovering what life is really about and how to deal with it on your own - basically very close to what atheists do - relying on oneself.

Christianity has its own path
but I may disagree with some of it's tiny little difference
