Because a large amount of people on this site and the internet in general are literal children who dont understand the complexities of life or adults who are chronically online and shelter themselves from the realities of life

Reply to comment by newbiesaccout in [Image] Quote by Socrates by joki5ing

There are no such historians in the extant Greek literary corpus. My purpose in listing off the three extant Greek authors which portray Socrates was to note that of our existing literary depictions, none would have said the trite shit that is at the head of this thread. But yes thank you for reminding me that that Socrates himself wrote nothing down: I also took a high school survey of philosophy class.

Reply to comment by TreatThompson in What pieces of advice are we better off ignoring? [Discussion] by TreatThompson

I dont disagree in learning from the experience of others, however, past a certain point, one needs to take action. Moreover, learning from those that came before us isn’t the same as learning from those pedaling 10 point advice newsletters or those creating Twitter lists. Cheap, fast, regurgitated advice offers one little. Deep reading provides one time to think through their situation and the advice of the author whose work they are reading.

Reply to [Text] idk where to start to fix my messed up life. I want to do better. by Ok-Reporter-8728

I relate. When I was really depressing, I was feeling similar. People said to me do somethinf you like... yeah what do I like, what do I enjoy... and then my sister came to pass an evening with me and said could we draw ? So we just draw a drawing kid book. For me it did not needed to be something big. My advise ? Don't overthink it. Go walk in the wood, read a book, watch a kid movie, draw a flower. Most importantly do things with people you appreciate. This really helped me.

Good luck :)
