no
In this economy it’s not even possible unless you are lucky. And every time I’ve tried and was doing well my life has been purposely sabotaged by people. There’s no point in me living to be completely honest.
It’s what makes Walter White a weak person. Even when his family needed him, he cowered when he had to face his ego, false pride and other vices.
Knowing that you COULD become this badass, but choosing not to, for his family, while nobody else would ever believe that he could have, that’d be the mark of a hero.
There’s a quote in The Catcher in the Rye, attributed to Wilhelm Stekel:
The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.
In most cases, one can do a lot more aggregate good over a long period of time than in a flashy moment, and we should live our lives in recognition of that reality.
Good quote
No, i do that for me. And better is less stress, more enjoy.
Damn, lemmy is cynical as fuck.
This is a positive message half of you turned into an attack on yourselves.
Wtf half of me!? Are you implying that I have a split personality disorder??
Don’t mind him, he’s just joking.
for family? who do you think i am? Vin Diesel?
Each item in this list is a euphemism for drinking Corona.
All that sounds like “I would live for my family”. That is not what was said.
I appreciate the sentiment, but it still leaves some of that “no need to be depressed! Just eat organic home made meals, get 8hrs uninterrupted sleep on schedule, and take a couple hours a day to walk in the woods - it’s free so anyone can do it!” taste in my mouth.
It rings hollow for folks with chronic illnesses, too. It’s simply easier to do these things when you’re starting from a baseline of health.
No. I said I would die for them. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah sounds like they’re just being greedy now tbh
How the fuck do you “fix your sleep”? Also I can’t afford to eat healthier, I do the best I can. I have made changes. And exercise? We’re working 2-3 jobs each year-round just vto survive. What rich privileged asshole wrote this shit?
One of the best and slighty weird ways to eat healthier even when the food is hot garbage is to don’t eat the bun. Sooo many saved calories. Just things like that. Don’t eat all the fries. Don’t finish the whole 32oz soda. If are eating unhealthy but food at home you can probably find similar little cuts. It adds up over time
switching out that 32oz soda for a zero-calorie option and going for a lettuce wrap instead of a bread bun will save you close to 400 calories, most of which are sugar. Asking for an unsalted patty and unsalted fries will save a few hundred mg of sodium as well.
Death seems easier tbh
I’m not even doing that for myself.
Well, to be fair, they already said they would die for their family. All of the other things would just interfere with that.
No. I’d just choose to die either way.
