This is one of the themes in the movie "The Wall." Things like this are recounted as "another brick in the wall". The wall of course being the wall we build around or subconcious. The bricks we lay in the al are differnet, they describe young lust, greed, propaganda from school and home, and consumerism as "they were all just bricks in the wall."

And its made even better because in the film Pink's mother is one of these bricks. She fills him with indoctronation and ultimately is one of the main reason he becomes a nazi. "Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall"

There was something that I told my DND players recently, I came with the conclusion that planning for sessions was not how I preferred to do things. Someone jokingly asked: “What even is a plan anyway?”

“A course of action that eventually gets derailed in favor of something infinitely more interesting.”

Regardless of what paths are taken in life, you will get to where you wish to be, and learn the lessons you need to learn.

Guys, the fact that unconscious drives behaviour does not mean you don't have agency. It's more about how change comes from designing habits and the environment to promote your unconscious to do what we want, instead of trying to force ourselves and then feel crappy when it does not work.

This entire sub is just nonsense and confusion. I like to categorize this type of post as nihilist motivation, "secretly the world sucks and you don't have agency so go do that thing you want to do". As a front page only user I hate how popular this subreddit is.

The great thing is that this reminder can be applied to every day of the week. No matter what you have accomplished so far, you must never give up. The best is yet to come.

I don't know how much further i can keep going. Everything keeps getting not expensive, and nobody is paying a living wage. I can barely afford to pay all my bills and feed my cat. I have to skip meals now to afford my health insurance. That thing that won't help me if i actually end up needing it. I'm struggling to find any better ways to make money, all while having to pay more for less. I genuinely can't afford to fucking live anymore.
