Random thoughts (*rises from the dead*)

[bodick7]

We often hear about the importance of "chasing your dreams" and then we hear success stories of people who "accomplished their dreams", but why do we almost never hear about the actual majority who fail to accomplish their dreams?

It depends on what you consider as a success….

It's tempting to be cynical but I think it's better to be realistic and compassionate.

I will admit that this is new knowledge to me, but the Ancient philosophy of Cynicism is worth consideration:

According to Cynicism, people are reasoning animals, and the purpose of life and the way to gain happiness is to achieve virtue, in agreement with nature, following one's natural sense of reason by living simply and shamelessly free from social constraints. The Cynics (Ancient Greek: Κυνικοί, Latin: Cynici) rejected all conventional desires for wealth, power, pleasure, glory, social recognition, conformity, and worldly possessions and even flouted such conventions openly and derisively in public.

Finding purpose in life, having meaningful interpersonal relationships and having a spiritual life. I don't know what small percentage of people can achieve this, but that's the goal.

You know, I am just as intelligent as you are and I am very well read. I know what Cynicism is.

You won't achieve it if you keep finding little things to criticize about people you don't even know, if you don't consider what kindness and justice really are and if you don't go out in the world (physical, metaphysical and metaphorical) and explore things you aren't comfortable with or unacquainted with.

Personally I only check this forum because people read my comments and it brings me business. But it's very negative and takes a toll on you particularly if you don't give yourself limits. I think you know it's not good for you to be here as well, and I congratulate you for also having limited your time and interactions.

It's not just bad for the escorts, it's negative for the clients even if they get a boost of whatever if they enjoy reading bad reviews or good ones or basking in the negativity or their overwhelming interest in the sex industry...

I don't think it's possible to find profound truths or meaningful connections and conversations that disrupt and change in a positive way the way you experience the world in internet holes & echo chambers that are very full of negativity particularly towards people who are also really struggling in various ways

I don't think you're a bad person and deep down you have a lot of sensibility and emotions, that's not a flaw but it's a lot of strong energies that need to be redirected towards better things

It’s been 2 times so far we caught sessions on tape.
Each time, I feel like a teen with his GF of the moment jumping over a fence and having a midnight bath in a public pool.

The visual reminds me of the music video for "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace, thanks for that.
