There is no divine or divine justice. There is no sin or virtue. There is no hell or heaven. There are no universal truths. Religion is man-made for his convenience and comfort. Philosophies are formed based on individuals' experiences and their understanding of the world around them.
Your experience of the world is limited if you hold onto your rigid philosophy or opinions. Be open-minded to fully experience the world and have a deeper connection with the world and people around you.
No matter how great or bad a person is, everyone has the same value when they are dead.
People who depend on others for happiness will put all their efforts and time into connecting with others. People who don't depend on others will work hard and improve their skills. Both have their pros and cons, and neither is inherently bad or good. It depends on a person's circumstances and life experiences. No rule fits everyone.
Human emotions are natural, even the ones we consider bad, such as jealousy, greed, anger, lust, pride, prejudice, sadness, disappointment, and fear. Suppressing emotions only leads to an eventual outburst. We should let the emotions pass through us like a transparent mirror, not suppress them like a black body. Instead of forcibly suppressing emotions through mental conditioning, we should find the root cause and try to solve it. That's why journaling helps—it slows down thinking, provides structure, and clarity of thought. Some root causes cannot be solved, such as the death of a loved one. In such cases, we should allow ourselves to feel grief. The human brain has an advantage in that it forgets things over time. However, if we suppress grief, it accumulates in our subconscious memory and haunts us forever.
Humans need happiness. It is the biggest driving force for them to do anything. So, it is important to find happiness in what we do or do what brings us joy. This does not mean turning to drugs or other addictions like social media, as they ultimately lead to overall misery. Instead, humans should find happiness in constructive things like work, exercise, relationships, and traveling.
You can't be an expert at everything. Your time and knowledge are limited. These days, knowledge is freely available. What we need is the ability to ask questions to obtain the information we want and some critical thinking. These abilities come with introspection, clarity of thought, an uncluttered mind, keen observation, being realistic, open-minded, and having the ability to perceive others' true feelings.
Movies, especially Indian movies, should not be seen as sources of learning or imitation. They are imaginative creations meant to entertain a wide audience and make profits. They often depict events and emotions that are far removed from reality. It is unwise to take movies seriously or allow them to influence one's perception, as they can lead to confusion and unrealistic expectations.
While the modern world glorifies speed, it is important to recognize its dangers. Even experts can lose control when moving too fast. Therefore, it is essential to approach tasks in a slow, steady, and controlled manner. Take your time, as life is not a race.
The brain functions biologically and requires dopamine. However, providing large amounts of dopamine in a short time span can lead to addiction and a diminished interest in anything other than that intense stimulation. Examples of such intense dopamine releases include drugs, video games, and high-speed races. There are also slower but equally addictive and destructive sources of dopamine, such as tabloid news and mindless browsing. It is important to avoid these negative influences. Engage in constructive activities that provide a healthy dose of dopamine, such as work, meaningful relationships, exercise, and fulfilling hobbies like reading, painting, singing, and dancing. However, maintaining a balance is crucial, as nothing is worth dedicating an entire lifetime to.
