That is sadly when unpolished reality truely hits.
- Anamana ( @Anamana@feddit.de ) 22•4 months ago
There is no unpolished reality… depressive thoughts are not more real than happy thoughts even though it might be convenient to assume so sometimes.
- Feydaikin ( @Faydaikin@beehaw.org ) 6•4 months ago
That’s an opinion, I believe, that a lot of people share.
Both ends of the spectrum are delusional, sure. But the effects of these delusions, in the world around us, differ.
In my own limited experience, the more “rose tinted” end tend to overlook potential problems, if not completely ignore them, more often.
But there are problems. A whole heap of them. That is what I see as unpolished reality. And acknowledging it is important, if we would hope to do better.
- Sotuanduso ( @Sotuanduso@lemm.ee ) English5•4 months ago
Yeah, it is a problem on both ends. If you get too far on the jade end, you acknowledge the problems, sure, but you lose all motivation to do anything about them because you believe it’s already too late.
And might start acknowledging problems that aren’t real problems.

And then there are people who switch between both types. I think in professional language they call it ‘rollercoaster personality’ /s

You won’t have superpowers, but nothing is stopping you from fighting cartoonish villains.

I’ve got superpowers. I don’t know what it would be like to live in a world without superpowers because I’ve got them.

When I get that funny feeling I ask myself:
Who, where and when would I rather be? Some celebrity? A pesant from 1600? Some random bird? My grandpa? A hunter gatherer?
This humbles me. For a brief moment, I get to be part of the superorganism we call earth. - FIST_FILLET ( @FIST_FILLET@lemmy.ml ) 28•4 months ago

Always make sure you’re doing things that are known to be good for your mental and emotional wellbeing. Get out into the sunshine, do physical exercise, socialise and talk to people that you care about. And don’t neglect your hobbies.

“Man’s search for meaning”
When one focuses on the meaningless, of course there’s no meaning.
Life is… It’s up to us as individuals to find our own meaning.
A primal one throughout history is family. The older I get, the more meaningful I find it to help family/friends, rather than focus on my own issues. It really helps us move beyond our own barriers and mundane concerns.
If I can pass on something of real meaning and value to my nieces and nephews, then I’ll have accomplished something significant. It’s the best one can hope for, and if we were all so fortunate to do the same, the difference it would make for mankind would be immeasurable.
Not a singular great hero, just millions of us doing seemingly small, but significant things.

Real. Ngl I just do weird shit just to keep going. Drugs, alcohol, self harm, binging happy anime, porn. I wish I died. But at this point the addictions want me to live to experience another hit.

so organize and unionize, comrade.
don’t wallow in pity and despair, use the misery as motivation to improve things. If things are already unbearable, surely it won’t hurt to make some noise about it and inspire change.

The key is stoicism and intrinsic motivation.
Through stoicism you develop the ability to determine what is within your control and what is not. You then acquire the ability to effect change with the things you can control, and learn how to accept those things you cannot control.
Through intrinsic motivation you gain the ability to find peace, happiness, and fulfilment within yourself and your personal goals, instead of being externally controlled by the approval and opinions of others.
