Why pressure leads to improvement

People are hardwired to take the easy way out and to prevent challenging situations from occurring because they cost a lot of energy while inducing feelings of anxiety.

Yet, avoiding uncomfortable circumstances isn’t always beneficial. It can even be incredibly detrimental to our personal growth.

That’s because pressure makes diamonds, which means that difficult times and the stress that comes with it will teach us many lessons, and force us to improve to deal with these hardships.

Here’s why:

— It leads to growth
— It motivates us to improve
— We learn the most from difficult times
— We learn more from failure and mistakes
— Easy times don’t lead to growth

Why you should never argue with a fool

Everyone knows at least one person who’s impossible to deal with in an argument. And that’s unfortunately not because they’re particularly good at debating, but rather because they’re so absurd that there’s simply nothing to gain from the conversation.

I’d say that you should never argue with fools since they’re incapable of rational thought, or applying any common sense. Not to mention that some can be downright ignorant at times.

Here are all the other possible reasons:

– They’re ignorant.
– You can’t argue with an irrational individual.
– They don’t want to understand you.
– They’re not capable of understanding you.
– It’s a waste of energy.
– It’s a waste of time.
– You’ll get annoyed
– You’re the fool if you argue with them.
– They’ll try to manipulate you.
– You’ll be lowering yourself to their level.

Why we are living in a brainwashed society

I want to start by saying that everyone is brainwashed to some degree in my opinion.

Even the most intelligent and rational individuals are still somewhat indoctrinated and irrational. Whether we’re conscious of that uncomfortable fact, or not.

Yet, it’s happening all around us. The government, the media, business owners, and even our peers we consider friends are part of the problem at times. I say occasionally because I’m generalizing, and not everything the government, the media, and other outlets tell us is wrong or poor advice.

Without further ado, let’s get into it.

Why lots of people are crazy in today’s world

While insane individuals have always existed, I feel that a lot of people are crazy today for varying reasons that I will share today.

That’s not necessarily because our cognitive abilities have deteriorated, but rather because our way of living is not in tune with how we’re supposed to live. As a result, our perception about the world, and what’s true and false becomes warped, and we’re more likely to experience an increased amount of negative emotions such as anxiety and sadness.

Let me explain what typically goes wrong in modern society according to my personal view.
