The Dalai Lama is on American payroll just a heads up.

You’re good, can’t blame you or anyone else for getting worked up. We’re all human after all

I struggle with suicidal ideation daily. This is clearly meant to be motivational and not to push someone over the edge. Some of y’all are taking this way too literally.

With all due respect, this is terrible advice for suicidal people

Memento mori can definitely make us uneasy on the surface, but is powerful when truly understood
Thanks for sharing that! I like the sentiment of a good life meaning different things to different people

But what if you are naturally a horrible person? And people are telling you so that you evolve and grow into a better person?
Before you say, "Well then no one will come to you." What if you're a horrible person who is super charismatic, narcissistic, super-good looking, funny, and charming... but still. evil, terrible, and horrible person with massive halo effect.
Is it really that important to NEVER listen to other people? Sometimes... other people are right.

As I learned in Sunday School decades ago, a concept that freaked me out til I got older and understood it, "Memento Mori". A "good life" means different things to different ppl. Honor is a concept that my dad used a lot.

This is more of a "work motivator" tbh.
Smart people know to leave at 1st opportunity at work for another job elsewhere after probation.
All it takes is 1 sour worker to ruin a team if you can't kick them out because of neopolitism.
And a "friend finder" as well. "Real friends" find ways to put up with your BS. It ain't gonna be a marriage partner, but at least a drinking buddy.

The part that sticks out to me the most is the concept of “being worthy of old age”
I guess it can mean a lot of things to different people
I think i’ll be worthy of old age if I haven’t been tainted with negativity by the time I get there—if I still have a positive spirit, can have fun and be creative
