ExistentialNightmare

For your experience to be a happy one, the experience is not primarily reliant on what is being experienced being something which brings happiness to you, it is the you, which is experiencing, that needs to be of happiness.

So, although the outer world affects the inner being and a better world will improve the inner experience for many and is therefore a just cause, the search for a life of personal happiness is primarily about the situation within you and not the situation around you. - PunkMonk

Privacy for all intents and purposes is practically gone already if you’re of interest to the intelligence agencies and around anything with a connection and/or even just standing outside thanks to satellite imagery. And that is just the technology which we know of, it’s horrifying to think about the possibility of tech that remains classified.

    If you are beginning a new year new body gym routine resolution thingamajig starting January 1st, make sure on that day your main goal isn’t to go to the gym for an hour but instead to work on your mentality to go regularly. And internalise after you have worked out, how good that post-workout serotonin feels.

    Also watch like a gym basics guide on Youtube or something it is your first time.
