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.

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

give less luck was actually a phrasing from stoicsm

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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