  • Or is it just a “fake it till you make it” kind of thing? I definitely haven’t got shit together, but I’ve learned to juggle and balance all my problems to perfection so that outsiders could easily mistake it for “having shit together”. You should just focus on who you are and be the best you you can be. “Having shit together” is mostly a relative metric which is good for measuring the masses, but not fair to measure you personally.


  • These affirmations do not all clash with capitalism. I also don’t agree with all of them, not all jobs are real and valid. We had a guy at work, nephew of the boss, who was facility manager… from abroad. Also got payed way too much and was bought out when the company was taken over. It was not a real job, it was nepotism and he was handsomely rewarded all along the way for doing absolutely nothing while we all had to pick up the slag. Life isn’t fair or equal and cheaters get rewarded. These affirmations work for them too, because cheaters can also just happily define their own worth and their own succesfullness and it’ll be good for their soul. So these rules are not the holy grail, there is no such thing. Just common sense and good conscience.















  • It’s almost like it’s a multi dimension spectrum with axis like left<>right, conservatist<>progressive, liberalism<>socialism and more… but simply “the left” and “the right” are popular (but problematic) terms that everyone recognises but everyone has their own interpretation of. However, if you want to be more accurate in you political discussions, you’ll have to write full page monologues and that is often not the way of the Internet. It will more often fall on deaf ears than not. And therefor the louder voices with the simpler terms get a bigger audience and reach eventhough the things they are saying might not be as good.
