Never listen to others... unless they actually make sense!

in #philosophy7 years ago

By saying never listen to others, I also mean myself. I am one big nothing to ever be able to tell anyone how they should act. I have no right to do that. And I also hate when some people think they do have a right to tell others what to do.

Have your goals and keep achieving them even when haters like me try to convince you that you are worthless.

Also, never pander to others. And most importantly - never create for others!

It might sound stupid, but I consider myself an artist. What is even stupider, I think that I only need one fan - myself. Everything else is just a delusion. No one will ever fully understand what I write and why and I don't expect them to do. I would be happy to die knowing that at least I could understand everything I ever wrote. That sound insane, but it is not.

So should you be an egoistic prick who only thinks about themselves? Yes, that is what I am saying. However, whenever I am being egoistic, I go on to streets and donate to poor. Egoistic does not mean evil at all. It only means caring about your inside calmness. And if you need to act evil (steal, kill, abuse, and stuff) to feel calmness, I am sorry, but you are a devil.


Be egoist and spread love only to benefit yourself. This way, everyone can be a winner!

Learn to reach a new level of egoism, when you can actually start listening to others and making right decisions.

I previously wrote that you should stop caring about what others think about your work/ideas/actions, but that is not completely true (what do you mean by saying that I change my mind faster than your girlfriend in the clothes shop?). From my experience, the most advanced people don't care about what others have to say and keep on doing whatever they like, but they still know how to listen and make conclusions. The most successful people cannot be hurt by either discouraging words or ignorance toward others.

Sadly, I am not yet one of those people, so please let me know how "cool and fresh" my content is, so I could let my ignorance and cockiness grow. Thank you in advance!

Good story brother and nice to meet you.
Please follow me @patricksanlin and upvote. Thanks

You're so right. I'm in my early twenties and I feel like everyone keeps telling me what to do. I just hate that. I want to live my life the way I imagined. I like the way you write ;)

Thank you, you should definitely stick to your plan! Of course, when people are being objective, we should listen to them and learn from their experience, but we should never obey them! Thanks again!

listen to learn, life is too short to learn from your own experience.

you have to learn from both others and yourself. Sometimes you have to experience something to truly understand it, so nobody cares how short life is - you still have to experience that something.
