Curious if thry have something like usa politicans &military industrial complex

As someone who *actually* comes from humble beginnings, I just want to say that you get it. You truly do, and for that, you should be very proud ❤

It is a building block!p to happiness!

so it does…buy happiness.

@@maepl3 happines can't be bought but you already have neuro chemicals in brain to trigger state of reactions as emotions to feel. but these reactions provoke from external stimulus , accumulated from life experiences and actions and participation and interactions in world scenarios . So, technically accumulation of happy neuro chemical reactional experiences have costs/intake of money or something of value to give. and circle of this entire explanation is, stimuli things which takes money to have would be useless and baseless if the "happy neuro chemicals" doesn't make response to those.

Literally word for word what was said in the video.

@@shaheer4819 word salad that denotes to our human nature to necessitate happiness from external factors such as the things money can buy, ergo money buys happiness. we can get into semantics later-when i'm not high.

I think it's opposite

Bro stupid ashell. It’s the opposite.

It's the opposite, not my observation, but my experience. My dad is very keen on us building our own fortune and all about personal finance.

I can vouch for this as I come from the first branch

Fr idk where you've observed this cuz I'm confident it's the other way around😂 why would someone who came from a poor background blow their generational wealth by doing that, doesn't make any sense lol

Well done for taking this life experience and making the most of it!

I was a wealthy kid too. My step father was an entrepreneur and we lived a very good life until he divorced my mom. She was a mother and housewife and we struggled a lot with money. This was almost 20 years ago (lol I’m old) but I was twelve and lost everything: my friends, my home and my family. Sometimes, when I’m struggling, I wish I had the financial security and support from the past years but I would never change my life with others. I’m greatful for the sacrifices my mother did and I learn so much trough theses years.

Great for you! :D Except for the war, though. That sucks

@@robertodeoliveraferreira3012I hope all gets better for you❤

It's good to hear you are being adaptable and finding strength in yourself. May you be blessed and stay safe. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦

Exactly.

Exactly.

“money can’t buy happiness” is the most spoiled rich kid thing to say. money can buy a safe place to live, food, medication?m, being able to have pets, being able to support your friends, art, being able to experience life without worry - and what is happiness if not that?

​@@SummerThymeMadnessexactly

@@SummerThymeMadness To be fair, there have been studies about this concept, and basically there’s a “cap” on how much money “buys happiness”. In USD, the studies concluded that amount was about $60-75k a year (I’m sure inflation might be pushing that number a bit higher atm, but likely not by too much), which is a lot lower than most people would assume. It’s still a lot, tbf, you’d have to be making like $30-40/hr, but I think a lot of people assume that anything under a six-figure salary isn’t good enough. But after that point, the amount of money you make/have doesn’t have any meaningful effect on your happiness. Basically, after your basic needs are comfortably met, the amount of money you have doesn’t really matter. The rest is just comparison mind games getting the better of you.

That’s so true. That’s basically what happened to the Roman Empire.

The same Roman empire was also brought to rise by multiple generations of heirs after the founding 7 kings.

the same in Venezuela. My great-grandfather was rich (he owned almost a City). And his sons spent almost everything. My mother (3rd generation) bought only 2 hectares of coffee crops from my grandfather, although she made money, due to problems with the neighbors (men, who wanted to steal her land and crops all the time) + the country's hyperinflation and gasoline shortages, she decided to sell the hectares.

That's why in my country really ritch people treat their kids like SH. IT's a tradition. I knew two rich kids who would be left to starve in their 10 million dollars appartments in Paris, the parents would go in vacation or buisness trip, but would'nt leave 50 euros for food. you know what they did, they called their former nanny so that they would bring them food , and the nanny did come to the rescue, never geting any money back, the nannies are the only "mum" they have and get fired when "not needed" anymore, they all go through that process. Expectations on acadamic achievment is through the roof, they get called worthless if they don't end up first of the best schools (and no food) . That's real "bourgeoisie" and they manage to actualy have their children excell at everything and not lose everything when they finaly inherit, then they do the exact same thing to their children.

China: shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations.

Facts and the crazy thing is in reality nobody is truly "self made". Clients are what make you.

Lose* but yes I agree

For Rothschild it is. 😂

It's why I want to slap the people who act as if the young people are broke due to apple phones, Starbucks coffee, avocado toast, or Funko pops. It's our generations "let them eat cake" argument.

It's always easier to be responsible with money if you have any 😂 just take a look at credits - you get the best interest if you already have lots of money 😂

​@@magnetfisch more money for the moneyed, more opportunities for those who have already been bestowed with opportunities

You’ll also find rich people who don’t realize they are rich. It’s crazy. I also find that the rich people I’ve met from generational wealth downplay it a lot. You wouldn’t know they are rich if you saw them on the street. They enjoy designer, but only wear designer with the rich circle. Out and about in public , they dress in normal clothes.

I used to have direct access to my dad's bank account and used to spend like 100s when id go out with friends but then we became so broke that if I ask my dad for money now he'll be like "20 bucks??" I mean he'll still send me like 30 just in case but he has difficulty sending me 20 impromptu which ik hurts his ego... we're not Uber-rich but still quite well off

@@MysticOceanDollies Some rich kids downplay their wealth by comparing it to other rich kids. “My family wasn’t well off. We don’t have a private jet or took multiple trips to Cancun unlike my classmates.” But they’re still rich because they can afford to send them to a private school and a nice university. Just because they’re not as rich compared to their peers doesn’t change the fact that they’re still rich in general lmao. I remember seeing a food KZfaqr getting flamed by her audience for that.

@@parkchimmin7913 omg I remember meeting a guy like that in college. His dad was in the military and was working somewhere in Eastern Europe, but so many of his experiences were not military kid experiences, but rich kid experiences. He went to a fancy international school with the literal elite of Europe, went on fancy trips, would talk about visiting his wealthy friend who lived in the UK, mention the fancy wines he likes to drink, but no, he wasn’t rich. He’s “working class” 🤦‍♀️

What compassion???

I wouldn't wanna even if i could go to a road trip, it looks fun on SNS, but with amount of bad food,the sickness & weight gain due to it all,exhaustion amount of bathroom breaks in dirty places if there are no posh washrooms/5 stars unless there is a road with facilities built for rich people only, inability to move around while travelling (in car/in bad painful airplane seats bad for back n shoulders/unless it's business class & even then other stuff) heat,sun-damage,having to sun protect (with sunscreen etc & no idc if you live in AC all the time it's going to be hot at times & what's the point if i have to stay that protected), having to take care of luggage going through all that (even if you have people to take care of you, you need to remember to pack everything & that alone is a hassle), safety issues (crime issues : minor/major, scams/thefts/assaults though somewhat minimizable). - i CANNOT fathom why people go for long road trips/travel when it takes excessive effort,money, planning to go there & you still can't avoid all that. May be i get it a little : SNS pics, atleast pretending to be happy even if you aren't, view is really worth it, alcohol & romance excuses. (Neither of which except good view is something i need/find healthy/find is worth all the cons so until they build a teleporter, call me lazy/nit-picky I ain't going😅). - I'd rather find more nearby nature troves/places to go/built one at house & make it a better sanctuary & makes me feel peaceful everyday than trying to find peace all over the world,& rather not waste 90% of my time on commute & dealing with before,while & after cons & only getting to experience 10% of peace of travel, when I want to help build me & my familys physical,psychological health/wealth/minds which takes self-education/improvement etc & reducing time waste on things that give low returns, so i have better things to do & all of it is working well, if i HAVE to go I'll have to learn smart-travel & actually find a way to travel as meaningfully as many travel bloggers claim to. - many have to make a lot of effort just to take,edit & post pics than actually get to be & enjoy in the moment (this issue is everywhere from functions to travel etc especially new photographers/models spend more time at clicking) ik cuz I've learned photography + KZfaq exposes enough social media lies. - I was dragged to multiple roadtrips without my will in childhood for religious reasons & everyone keeps complaining about points above along with my experience. - & Not my attempt to make you/anyone feel good/dissuade from travelling, you can go if you like when you can afford it but do learn well the how-tos of it. - what baffles me with the rich vs poor thing is that either side thinks that money is the only thing that should/can stop/make people do certain things as each side is conditioned that way and many people on either sides just keep copying for a long time as if being controlled with invisible strings and don't really take the time to think about if that's what they really want despite having had life experience. - All of that simply for acceptance & fitting in at times without it even being necessary anymore because that's what their small social circle does than finding people that understand you. - when I'm like after you have your necessities, even if you have the money to do certain things, normal people (some that are left) that aren't influenced by social media comparisons/feel excessive need to fit in have a life that's based on personal choices on what you like/dislike/find convenient,healthy,safe,good,smart choice and more. - Just in case someone goes ah you have the mindset of money is evil/you just want to find negatives because you disagree with choices of how some rich people spend their money & because they wanna sell a "how to get rich course" & want me to be blind to the fact that money has both negatives & positives & rather than teach me that they just gloss over it. - when what I say is also one ways a rich person might spend their money to actually STAY wealthy & be hollistically content than just pretend to be.

​@@kizryuver roadtrips are fun but I dont think they would be with you , all you see are negatives.

@@vivdoolan6846 good for you if you like em. To me roadtrips/anything isn't fun with people that ignore important things necessary for being healthy & safe with excuse of "fun" either. So we'd be even. • prep: As many don't let you/others/themselves take enough care to avoid the cons when possible in the fear of losing "fun". If you don't notice cons, you can't avoid them/take precautions when you HAVE to travel. -pressure: many mostly try to pressure people into things just because they do it as they don't want to feel judged. Or try to ostracize/subtly shame you for having different choices. It can be any thing from alcohol,drugs,cigarettes/slow poisons like processed sugar/processed carbs/DUI on roadtrips etc. - not my fault roadtrips/long travels have negatives that outweigh positives yet people refuse to see them 😅. - water: Also forgot either people drink little water so they don't have to find a washroom/they hold it for a long time/go on the roads (neither is healthy/safe/even fun). Unless it's a short roadtrip (which i prefer). - inconveniences: change by places. Any one who only considers their country/city/state/area forgets that same previledges wouldn't apply to other places no matter their personal richness factor. Unless people wanna spend that money building healthy restaurants,roads,washrooms only for themselves on Whichever road they go for roadtrips. - countries: Countries like China have a gutter oil problem in restaurants/street foods, and many Indian & many other country's restaurants/street food stalls re-use their oils too many times (carcinogenic)/lack hygeines and depending on countries people literally slowly/fast die due to these things. - HEAT: And countries like India & Dubai have excessive heat issues too even if you are in an AC car you need to get out some time unless you're going to a hill station (depends on what people can handle). - : many people with fun pics about fun trips treat throwing up and getting sick in travel everytime as normal. & It's their decision & sometimes even I might do that if it really was fun (which it 90% of time isn't) but issue would be them trying to judge me for mine. - cherishables: I'm glad that people I spend time with try to understand my decisions so i don't have to base my self esteem on people that dont make sense or matter & judge me without knowing me, especially not by internet strangers when it makes people lose their sense of knowing whats rude. - fun: And that I don't have to attach just one external thing like alcohol/road trips to my personality to be able to have fun. & Can do other healthier,safer yet fun things. - travelling: knowing cons means i don't waste important times of my years experimenting. And I can pick right people,times,places, etc to have a good trip when i absolutely have to/want to.

​@@kizryuverig you can't help but hate roadtrips bc you've been forced to do it so many times. i totally understand why you personally think it's the worst. yes there's a lot of cons but for me roadtrips are fun cuz of the spontaneity, which is the point. the challenge of figuring out how to take care of basic needs is sometimes fun too. if you aren't a stupid person you won't have to spend too much money especially if you go to places that don't require money like lakes or public museums. maybe one day when you go to a roadtrip on your own without other people controlling you it will be fun too

@@dxohwf ty! I mentioned i dislike long travel/long roadtrips,but that I like travelling shorter distances/times ocassionally (especially nature walks without pollution) & it doesn't cause all those issues,if it's not forced,well planned,in good climate/low-pollution area & due to the issues with water & washrooms being less common as we can always come home. • HOME: it's also because I'm making my home a sanctuary so I don't feel the need to going many other places too,just getting out/opening the door/window to see the green micro-forest once it rains while cooking/reading/when we change things up etc is awesome. I still go for morning/evening nature walks,forest bathing & photography near railway lines/parks/nearby nature troves at times though. • & Thanks for not hating just because of differences in preferences & circumstances, you're probably the only one who read & understood it. • LONG: as for longer travel while I might stop hating them if i wasn't forced to go with problematic people,it was well planned according to climate i prefer etc (albeit it's harder now as it's getting hot at random times a lot due to global warming) & i learned to take care of certain things. • I may not prefer them much over shorter travels/roadtrips/adventures in nature troves due to how easier they are to prepare & how they don't need as much care & as I still wouldn't be able to control what good food & ate/good water i had in travel/find hygienic washrooms (last one especially for roadtrips, as travel isn't always a roadtrip) • SKILLS: And while idk why some people ignore the illnesses they get due to travel yet still go without prep/normalize it, i commend people who have learned the skills to avoid all that. • IDEAL SCENARIOS: also because I'm busy though & sometimes exhausted so having to take care from sun protection to smallest things just feels excess work. But ya in ideal scenarios i could like roadtrips if vehicles we comfy/non-posture killing (sometimes doable with some right pillows for short travel) , food/water,air,washrooms were healthy/safe/low-polluting/hygienic. • & that's harder to find than a tasty restaurant where i am even if one learned to take care of basic needs these depend externally too). So Just that it's hard to achieve money/not. Infact I'd note down tips from you if you shared. • MC: My only point to the main comment was that money/not having people to fall back on isn't people's only barrier for many people once they either travel & find cons/find there are other more relaxing & easier things they like better to do on holidays. • TRAVEL SMART: or learn to travel smart like you said (& it really is a skill to not get overcharged when travelling interstate/inter City).

Best take on money so far

THIS! There are literally studies that have tracked how happiness ceases to increase past a certain point even as wealth increases (of course you have to figure out proxies by which to define happiness so you can actually measure it but it's the strongest argument I have found for wealth redistribution besides the obvious other benefits.)

I bought only one expensive purse in my life it was a Gucci bag the strap started fraying after a few months I have bags under $100 still going strong years later lol

@@wattthefaqameye1146 I was just about to say this. When your happiness only depends on one thing (here money and the status it gives you) then you're not doing well. Money should give you the freedom of mind to enjoy the little and big things in life and actualize your potential, but you can do all that if you just have a secure home, no debts and enough savings to permit you to not starve if you're unemployed for a few weeks. Being a multi millionaire is not necessary, it's just a waste and all the possibilities, expectations and power can mess you up, like those people that go crazy after winning a lot of money or the stories about rich people messing things up, hurting people, and buying animals to play with for a night just to abandon them in a hotel room, those people can't seem to control themselves or think about other people, they allow money to define themselves, they are in a relentless pursuit of pleasure and thrill, not caring about anything else. This kind of behavior is almost psychotic, humans aren't supposed to live like that, exageration ruins everything, so i think that real happiness can be found more easily in the upper middle class.

It's refreshing to see an actual wealthy people among so many peasants. ❤

​@@mike.1nah some of them are rich too but they're just wasting it + they're newly rich & areas of being rich differs too..and peasants were respectable people compared to most people like farmers & hard working labours so i wouldn't ruin them by calling some fake gurus etc with the same term even if some people used it as an insult.

(damn it lowkey sounds like a vent im sorry haha)

​@@sngnrm (no worries, I understand!) Most of my friends are also from lower middle class (I don't know how to say it the right way) because I love how simple, kind and open-hearted they are. The judging part is true, I also feel like people might think I'm always the lazy type of privileged, the kind that doesn't have to do anything because daddy will pay the way either way and that's not true for me. I hide where I come from also because I met some privileged kids who's behaviour made me cringe, and they can be considered the privileged kid stereotype. I do not fall into the category but still it makes me deeply uncomfortable at times. I also felt very guilty when I stepped into my friend's apartment one time, everything there was so forced and while it was clean, I almost felt like crying. My friend's mother asked me beforehand what were my allergies, and when I found out her husband went to the other part of the city to find good potato and broccoli, I felt how privileged I was and it was not a good feeling.

@@microbito66 its not easy at all! But you are doing your best, and if it helps you in anything, when i felt like giving up and going back to that hellhole of a household i thought "dont i know them?

And i would rather die than give them that satisfaction. You can do it!

Girl, I had it the same way. Because of my family's toxicity, I decided to run away, and I strongly agree that the stress of lack of money leads to very suicidal tendencies. Money is everything in this world. But I would never go back to my family. I recommend you to find out something about the manifestation of money and possibly try to find a sugar daddy. There are a lot of very rich men who want to take care of a woman and spoil her. But the most important thing is to have a good money mindset.

Frankly, in my experience when I moved to another country after being quite poor and getting enough money, the anxiety just stayed with me because I was terrified by the thought I could go back to poverty.

good luck, it's hard to stick to principles in a world geared to cater to your whims. the hardest fight is always against yourself and the values you set for yourself as neither the world, or other people are beholden to the rules you set for yourself.

Just gotta ask for the inspiration, what are you doing to make that first million? Thanks!

What's your business?

Q 😂 I need money 💰 Please help me. Thanks Q❤

Make your first million from what? People come online and spout a lot of things.

Ya but it applies to everyone for economy to flow but spending money in right place,right frequency & right amount is what keeps communities truly thriving fairly. - eg. buying local helps local communities,donating/using money to solve fundamental social problems than just donation, spending on what you really need Diversely : it could be spending on self-education & improvement/health etc (albeit you don't need that much money anymore,but if you have to spend lol)all that can help spenders in return by making them feel good & worth something,give them life time of assets etc. - vs spenders (average/rich) spending like crazy in the flow that overconsumerism & superficiality pushes people is harmful for everyone. - SPENDING IN WRONG PLACES: Eg. How much people spend on skincare today might benefit employees/some good companies but most are problematic & it's harmful to consumers (due to bad skincare/breakout pandemic/bad self image/waste of money etc)/environment. - Similarly processed food industry overspend > bad health + wasted money,time,emotions,pain on healthcare. - Healthy food/good skincare industry reasonable spend: health + longetivity + less money,time, energy waste. - OVERSPENDING OVERALL without knowing what you want,if you want/need & will use it + knowing what's really good (takes research & hard work) > Clutter > stress> lack of sleep > guilt due to feeling stupid/wasting money/worsening environment etc (may be some rich people don't care about last part but others are applicable). - Point: most people including me a lot of times,do not know how to spend money the right way, so potentially money could give happiness but it doesn't/it makes you work like hell to get that happiness (like some people opt for surgeries/excessively painful treatments for looks). - some people learn with mistakes/experiences (I'm trying) & some don't. - some people try to pitch either money is happiness (because they're either poor & try to solve literally every problem with money after they get it/selling a course/don't think nuanced) or money isn't happiness (also due to being poor as they can't accept that they need it/people who're previledged but not happy. - but after necessities and basic comforts & securities are met, it's neither happiness nor sadness (both feelings are impermanent to begin with though & you'll start "wanting" something the moment that hedonistic scale is reset & you don't care about that ferrari within a month anymore). - So it's you that decides if you use it in a way that gets you happiness or misery.

I am a woman. And i still can see these bullshit online courses. I am from India and i met a guy in his 30s from america online. And after talking to him i felt the same.

Well remind yourself, poor/rich that changes anytime due to war,inheritance,loved ones deaths,business sabotage,bankruptcy,secret poverty (people hide financial difficulties from kids & when they pass there's nothing & even if you sell your physical assets if you have no negotiation skills you won't get what they're worth as people will know you're desperate & try to con you), you could use up that money (yes people have gambled away fortunes thinking they won't get addicted to gambling/spent it on useless things), reading this whole comment section will tell you things that can happen. - & Start asking your parents for real life experiences of how fast money comes & goes, their true financial difficulties which they/real life people may not always have told you because that's not what people discuss at weddings/parties etc & parents shield their kids. (Except mine tell me every gory details of their hardships that aren't even money related & they help me learn). - because you already know these things but if you don't have as anxious imagination as mine it won't feel as real or understandable as it would when it's validated by parents, non-rich majority of the world apart from rich people. -And while some people might have "peace of mind" due to having money, it's not really a long term peace of mind for any one. if you see you literally have lack of peace of mind due to having that superficial peace of mind due to financial security. - so no one really has a permanent peace of mind, it comes & goes which will give you momentum to work & move forward in life & not just give up,same reason why adversities are needed to make you grow, so take these things as your opportunities to do so. -so being ready doesn't hurt & is even necessary & just adding fear isn't enough, so add a compatible passion & needs (re-examine if what you say you like is your deep passion you'd be doing life long & actually plan, vizualize & goal set so it's not vague to work towards. - so rather than attempting to copy what your peers do like aim for random social proof goals like billion/millionaire, first calculate the amount of wealth you'd need according to the rate that inflation is going in to stay financially secure & try to attain that + find a compatible & sustainable passion that gives meaning to your life than just existing (which is fine too, but it's to get you going, so you don't stop existing). - listen to audiobooks like plan & organize your life,get off your "but" (for self sabotage which you're doing i.e getting in your own way),breakthrough : over come self sabotage & achieve more (podcast), , digital minimalism ,personal productivity secrets,do it now overcome procrastrination, I know what to do, so why don't I do it, & books that you think you need to improve on & to take action in your life. - you're also using self-fulfiling prophesies i.e you subconsciously act on things you keep telling yourself, so your mindset becomes an issue and you end up fulfilling your own prophesy by subconsciously working towards it. - because imo people just raise excess pressure about becoming a millionaire,billionaire (comparing with each other) without knowing if they even want to be these things. - & Then they go burn out,feel worthless any way & realize they didn't plan for things that it involved lol. So try to know & understand what you're getting into. - ORDINARY: it's not the fear of "mediocrity"/ being average should matter (people have this hate towards the "average"). - But will humans just keep comparing till forever after everyone is a millionaire & looking down on one another about whose a multi-/millionaire/billionaire etc? - Like what's the point? There has been/is/will always be someone better/richer/stronger/popular (any thing you think is worth getting envious of) than you and even the so called billionaires will/even whole human race might vanish like nothing at anytime & we all know we're nothing in the bigger picture. - society just makes us think matter a lot because most people get money/fame/some superficial personal gain from it which is fine,we get it economy, but except for people that truely care are who matter. - ask how many people remember what you wore 2-3 days ago even if you care about what to wear. - In the end you only need money for security & beyond that you should figure out what you want to use it for. -if you don't want to be that kind of rich person that doesn't know where to spend it so they spend it on a bunch of meaningless things only to realize they're boke/they know it wasn't worth spending but they still have to brag to/show they don't care to everyone that knows they spent it because accepting it was a wrong decision will just make them look worse in a more judgemental crowd. - plus sensible people of any type rich/middle-class/poor will always look down on/pity that behaviour even if the person surrounds themselves with similarly vain friends. While everyone is just out to take advantage of their money too. So that is a rich person lifestyle most people might live & convince themselves to find meaning in but in the end of the lives they'd question if they were actually satisfied with it. - but a person that might be helping people grow while growing themselves (at all points of life from struggle to richness, as long as they haven't changed for the worse but for the better they have more chances to find meaning in their lives even in their lowest times (financially/healthwise or otherwise). - also opportunities aren't limited as long as you don't stop yourself from being exposed to diverse situations & don't ruin your reputation in a way that people won't give you an opportunity. - find what your trigger points & root causes truely are, sure it's parents money, but if you browse good self-help audiobooks like comfort crisis (which explains why people stuck in their comfort zone is worse than getting out of it)/ how to study (if you like a subject but don't know how to study) you'll get to more deep root causes if any exist & fix those. Even if they're side causes they help you get started somewhere, get you thinking & reach to the root causes. - you can also learn to self-assess better via vipassyana meditation, SN.goenkajis on-site course is best as it doesn't discriminate between races/religions,you can look at discourses on KZfaq to see what you think as it's hard to do on your own with digital distractions. - Start with 1 minute if you have to then increase to 5-10-20-30+ minutes with how much ever you can bear. - It's after 6 months (so your exams are on) so idk if this is relevant but still..

@@kizryuver Bless you. It must have taken you some time to type out all of that. I'm so grateful for your advice and effort. I will definitely listen to the podcasts you spoke about. For guided meditation I have just started using the Sadhguru App because my mother recommended it to me. I've always been a fierce skeptic but have as of late almost forced myself to open up to the ideas of manifestation, law of attraction etc. Anything to get the college I want. My parents do infact tell me all about their hardships, financial or otherwise. But my father, who was in his own right a sort of unsuccessful genius for the better part of his teens and 20s, has always in a way romanticised this disposition. He never conveyed to me the sense of devastation he feels from not being able to be the kind of man he wanted. I'm not even sure if he is devastated. He acknowledges that he could have a much more high prestige position but since his current job makes him more than enough money, I'm not sure how much he even cares. I don't want to trigger unpleasant thoughts in him so I want to avoid asking him directly. I'll wait for him to open up. In the meantime, my life is constantly compared to their lives. I don't have any siblings, for the longest time this lead me to seeing my parents as my rivals and competition. People I'd have to outdo in every way. I used to think (and sometimes still do) that at least a part of my father wants me to fail so that he can have the uper hand over me forever. But I also know that a part of him, perhaps the larger part, wants me to be successful. I have seen a lot of suffering too. Not financial, but I've seen a lot of pain and sorrow. I'm intimate with how fucked up the world is. My dilemma I think really is that I am torn between spiritual surrender and the pursuit of worldly goals. But I want to put my philosophical meltdown on a pause. I need to. At least for the last 6 months. Maybe it'll be better if I give in to my Nihilism and stop taking anything seriously. Then perhaps I'll be able to have my fun in everything and stop my procrastination. Maybe I should just treat my exam as a challenge to myself and nothing more. Maybe my problem is actually that I have too much pressure (from my ego, from my parents' expectations, from my friends and teachers) not less. Maybe I should actually just let go. I haven't cried in such a while. I'm sorry about all of this. I don't know if you're advice will help me or not. I don't know if I'm in the position to receive external help. But I love you for trying. Thank you so much. I wish you all the very best with your life ❤️

Technically someone had to birth you, nature had to nurture you,social/environmental conditioning & experiences you had pushed you to right decisions (but you atleast get credit for those decisions as not everyone makes the same), your literal body is DEPENDANT on having a symbiotic relationship with millions of bacteria for you to just stay alive & be able to make that money & even spell the world self-made so it depends how far people are willing to take the word "self-made".. - knowing that you can't go without support makes you humble but people going and bashing someone that has had that support & completely ignoring their hard work is annoying too since if the bashers were in their place they'd 95% take that support & are taking the current supports they have. So...both sides are nuanced.

Wouldn’t be the same in person. You’d get snubbed. Social media allows us to edit and show fake refined versions of ourselves. Try to remember that.

Thank you for listening 🫶🏻

Happy you liked it and I will make sure to address it in the upcoming videos 🫶🏻

Last time I went to a salon was 2022 cause my depression was so severe during 20-21 that my hair was basically a birds nest so as soon as stores started opening I had a pixie cut. Before that can’t even remember tbh, easily close to a decade.

@@biazacha I am quite lucky in that my mother is extremely talented and taught herself to do salon-quality hair cuts, dye and styling. Whenever I need mine done she does it for me. That being said, she did have to cut 5 inches off recently because I had a terrible birdsnest, though because I had pneumonia and literally couldn't do it. But in the past I've lost chunks of length because of the depression birds nest.

Tener familia cerca y unida es algo que el dinero no puede comprar.
