Newton’s Laws of Emotion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite emotional reaction.
Ur self worth equals the sum of our emotions over time.
Ur identity will stay your identity until a new experience acts against it.

Emotional gravity: People are pulled towards other people with similar histories and experiences like our own.

“If you get off your ass and actively seek out pain, the body is anti-fragile. Meaning it gets stronger the more stress and strain you put on it.….but if you avoid stress and pain… your muscles will atrophy, your bones will become brittle and you will degenerate into weakness.”

Pain Is The Universal Constant

The default human condition is to avoid pain and pursue pleasure, But this pursuit of pleasure is toxic because it is misleading and self-defeating.
The antidote is to actively engage with pain and learn to suffer well.

Innovations (Upgrade pain): Innovations replace pain with a more tolerable pain.
Diversions (Avoid pain): Diversions help people to numb their pain. Examples: weekend out with friends and the use of social media.

The Blue Dot Effect:

“Humans warp their perceptions to fit their expectations.”

Examples:

In the pre-Uber days, we were willing to wait for 30 min for a taxi to come. Today we complain if there is a delay of even 5 min.
A decade back, someone was living in a small apartment and very contented. Today, the same family lives in a Villa with a much higher living standard and feels less satisfied than before.

Convenience has improved but satisfaction has not.

To Build And Maintain Hope

A sense of control: We’re in control of our own life.
A belief in the value of something: Something important enough to work toward, something better, that’s worth striving for.
A community: A group that values the same things we do and is working toward achieving those things.

FAKE FREEDOM

People want diversions from their pain, like social media to scroll through, or cheeseburgers or ice creams to divert them from their stress, These things, these diversions, give us the feeling of ‘freedom’ (temporary freedom from our pain), but really this is just FakeFreedom.

REAL FREEDOM

Real freedom comes from sacrifices and choosing what to give up.
The only TRUE form of freedom is through SELF-LIMITATION. It is not the privilege of choosing everything you want in your life, but rather, choosing what you will GIVE UP in your life.

Hope Is F*cked

The hope that brings the most joy to our lives is the same hope that brings the greatest danger.
We must stop hoping and accept what is. That is the only way to end the perpetual cycle of conflict.
Don't hope for better. Be better. Be something better. Be more compassionate, more resilient, more humble, more disciplined.

“We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck. We imagine our own importance. We invent our purpose—we are nothing. Enjoy your F*cking coffee.”
