Life is extremely simple, yet it can get quite fucked up if one does not focus on what matters and rather starts paying attention to all the noise that surrounds us. I take a rather aggressive stance towards this philosophy for the simple reason that the time we have is limited and one has to be as efficient as possible if they are to make the most out of it. What I am about to write might not apply for everyone so read with caution.
1. Remove All Religious, Political and Economic Dogma
Whatever the masses have invented and support in bulk, try to stay away from. Humans have invented specific institutions to solve specific problems for specific people. No system, no religion and no economic paradigm benefits everyone and never will. If you decide to dive into these endeavours of the masses make sure to know how to play the game — because this is what is all about.Often politicians, religious leaders and economists know exactly how the people react in the respective category and manage to stay on top, while controlling the situation. In other words, If you participate you either fuck or get fucked. There is no middle path except if you opt out. You can hope for a revolution, paradise, an economic miracle all you want but your hope is just a leverage for others to take advantage of you.
2. Pay Attention To Actions
Most people are full of shit. Most people are full of shit. Most people are full of shit. Once you digested this, then repeat the mantra a few times more. Words mean absolutely nothing. Zero. Nada. An individual that manages to learn how to see through words and only observe actions will always be ahead of the game and save multiple years in respect to time wasted on nonsense.The reason most people hide behind words is because most people are weak and most often do not understand what they want, nor they have a fair grasp about the raw facts of reality. People try to convince others about tactics, plans, ideologies, the future, yet their actions show otherwise. The less you pay attention to what people say the better off you are.
3. Everybody Is An Ad
We all sell something whether that is our compassion, product, services or ideas. Everybody tries to shill something that benefits them one way or another. There are no benevolent actions nor neutral stances. Even expressing nothing is still a position that aims to protect or shill a specific product, idea or person.Try to be direct and ask people what do they want from you — or if you want to be more diplomatic "How Can I help you?". The sooner you get to ask this question the better off you are both are since you will cut through the bullshit and start focusing on what the common goal is. The foreplay is pointless and will only act as a distraction if you are lucky. At worst, you are being emotionally manipulated.
Don't be confused by false narratives. People require very few things to be content. Forget about becoming happy since this is a guaranteed recipe for misery. Part of the tactic for dodging bullshit is being able to just screen almost everything and rather focus on the every basics that we so often take for granted. Most things that we believe are important are nothing but a mirage — promotions that have been shilled to us since the day we were born. Most people are other people and as the world gets more and more globalised this trend will only grow. The challenge is to keep an edge.
So you would suggest me not to pay attention to your text? ;-)
How exactly does one opt out? Most people would opt out if they could, but they simply can't due to present circumstances.
Agreed, 100% @kyriacos
Thank you for the reminder.
What prompted this post, specifically?
Something did, and what I would like from you is some insight into what that was.
Made me curious, you have! 🤔
Another way of saying the same thing
any group larger than a clan is crazy
law of diminishing returns
Beem practising some of the things you say for some time now. Like when I decided to stop watching TV and politics - that's exactly what I said to myself. I've wasted too much time with this shit.
However, I have yet to find a solution to keep other people from trying to mess with my life. Some people just don't get it that they're not welcome in your life and keep trying to fill you with their negativity.
Very interesting post, good perspectives, deserve a resteem
Keep up the good work

@mannyfig1956
I Am Fully Agreed With You And By This Post.
Thanks,
A very good way. Thank you for your knowledge @kyriacos
Strongly agree with your discourse above. But I personally can not leave a religion that I believe even more than myself.
In my opinion, it may be that humans can create laws and laws, then go back to their respective thoughts.
Helllo @kyriacos, wonderful article you written. your advices and sugessions are worth for eveyone and should b followe for happy and success life.i appreciated and support your lines.

I have found that the more you take this individualistic path the more others will either dislike you or at best misunderstand you, since they themselves are followers and want you to "get in line".
A very fabulous post @kyriacos
Thank you for sharing

True. Also sometimes we are worried about what people would say and get depressed though we want to do a particular thing. It's all mental. Specifically sometimes relatives are so pressing and negative about something in our life that we lose our focus completely.
So nowadays any task or business or any idea I want to implement I just keep it private enough to not lose the focus by avoiding discouragement from negative people around me.
Nice article. Keep up the good work. Cheers!!!
I get what you're talking about. There's a lot that applies almost certainly. I think the issues come that everyone has a different opinion on things. I'm starting to get the point where I can't be bothered to argue about things. One opinion is always counter opinionated with neither side wanting to acknowledge the other. Thanks for the post.
You make some good points here. Most people dress themselves in beliefs and ideas that they have never truly inspected. They are so unfamiliar with themselves, so far removed, that they do not even know where their center is. Because of this, they are not consistent or dependable. I have learned to focus on myself and my goals and not to count on what other's say. Just like my grandpa always said, "It doesn't matter what their mouth is saying, only what their ass is doing."
Great post - everybody is full of shit.
Except me because I just had a dump so I'm only half full...
Most folks have forgotten how to think for themselves. That is why we have these crazy groups programming our minds to robotically thing for us. Another form of mind control, manipulation of the sheeple masses. It is less messy for the ruling shadow government.
You are one busy person. I do not envy you one bit. I bet you just love your work because it shows in your writing. You have what appears to be quite a reading list here, I will need to check out some of the stories.
