stops seeing partner as her equal because she's making more money
starts comparing her life to those around her, the things she was promised as a 'little princess child'
convinces partner to get a job, feels better because she doesn't feel like she's supporting them both anymore, then realizes he's no longer around. Hamstering increases ten fold and she complains about the very thing she wanted him to do.
leaves him, doesn't give a fuck about his emotions (even though she says she does) citing "I deserve better, more, greater."
never finds love like that again, all the men she meets out of highschool are too fucking smart and have had their hearts broken too many times to give into this shit anymore.
fucks up his life more, he grows to detest her, she grows to detest herself, she feels unfulfilled
hits the wall, realizes her mistakes only after impact
It's bittersweet. On the one hand, it's karma, but on the other, can I really blame her? She realizes she fucked up, so at this stage it's kinda like gloating. She's just a byproduct of her environment. She should've been taught better.
One can only hope her story scares enough girls straight to begin reversing the trend.
I completely agree with you dude. The problem that we seem to continue to have in society lately is that people aren't taught the things that they need to know and we instead replace that knowledge with a Disney-like overlay of the world. I have suffered more in my life for the shit I had to unlearn and replace than anything else. It really is too bad that she wasn't taught earlier.
Yep. We've grown complacent over time. The space between "what brought me here" and "what I'm going to do with it" is where the concept of "free will" lies, but so many stitch that gap up into non-existence. "what brought me here decides what I'm going to do".
It's a shame, because at that point, you're just repeating trends, whether they're positive or negative. In a sense, it's suicide, because where does the "self" lie if you just do what you were programmed to do?
We talk about how "women are special because of what they are" and "men are special because of what they do", but both are true to a degree. You're special because of what you do with what you are, but that lesson just goes unheard by most of the population. I never heard it until I said it, certainly.
It came to me in a flash the other day. They're called "mystery" and "history" because of whose 'story' it is. That successful guy talking about when he was living in rags, that's his story. I don't know my story yet, but I know the story I want to tell, and I can start telling it right now. It might shift on me unexpectedly (because it's a mystery), but I'm in control of the theme.
It's funny how so many words when you think about them literally take on a similar-but-different meaning.
Isn't it though? It's also funny how language changes over time and you can abstract objects, events, and concepts into different levels of language. I was just a reading a book all about this. Language in Thought and Action by Samuel Ichiye Hayakawa. It has had me thinking about language and the power we give it.
I'm convinced that magic is real, we've just been fooled into believing that it involves conjuring fireballs. Real magic is casting "Charm Person". And you cast it by mimicking the body language of the person you want to like you while you use the right language.
Thanks for that book link, it sounds great. Definitely adding it to my notes to review. Was it recommended somewhere on /v/pizzagate? I recognize the hypno spiral.
Mathematics/language/history have been the three things I've realized lately are far more important than I ever acknowledged, and I need to fix... spirals are hypnotic because of the golden spiral. I've always had an interest in words, but I never realized just how powerful they really are.
Haha, well put. Body language skills, both reading others and implementing movements yourself, are such an invaluable resource. It just takes a lot of awareness and some understanding of how humans behave. No I was recommended the book from a friend. Super interesting though. It has a specific section about how combining body language and either "pur" or "snarl" language can create a lot of control. All language is technically just noise, so if we find the words that mimic soft coos or purring then people are more apt to feel good about it, rather than words that mimic barks or growls or grunts, which people would naturally shy away from if its directed toward them, or join in with if its directed toward a common enemy. We can see examples of this in politics all the time.
I've always been a fan of the Fibonacci spiral. I use it for a lot of my work in life. Math in general, along with language and history for sure. Invaluable resources-- it's hard to overstate how important these things are. Language and math being the most important. Language makes progress possible by allowing us to pass knowledge down to the next generation, so they don't have to learn through experience the things we already have discovered. We can communicate this and the next generation can pick up their work where we left off. That's why I love language and math. They allow the amount of progress we can achieve to exponentially increase.
That's really smart on the purr/snarl thing. One audiobook I listened to lately was Scott Adams "How to Fail at Everything and Still Win Big" (which I hugely recommend, the guy who does the audible reading of it does a great job of capturing Adams' "voice" too). One thing he talks about is how we subconsciously lower our voices when we want to be taken seriously, but background noise tends to be a low pitch so you unintentionally make yourself harder to hear if you speak low. If you raise your pitch, you cut through the surrounding noise better. He also talks about breathing techniques (a lot of people underuse the lower portion of their lungs, letting dead air sit there and prevent them from filling their lungs to capacity).
I've always loved that about language. I got a message a couple years ago from a younger girl who told me that I inspired her to become a writer herself and I cherish it. Ironically I never thought I was good enough to do it professionally until I got that message.
Haha love that last story, feels were felt. I love inspiring youth too.
Yes to the breathing techniques! I'm a singer myself so I have good breath control, but you're right most people don't use their diaphragm to fully inhale and instead just fill their chests.
I'll check out that audible :) sounds interesting.
Singing is another thing I've been wanting to do for a long time. When I was little I sang everywhere I went, then I let someone alter my development because I didn't know better. I think it's high time I reconnected with that little guy inside of me. Breathing techniques are probably the first place I need to start.

Yessss. That's probably the best and most simple way to put it-- "You're special because of what you do with what you are."
