I think i’ll drop an addition to my own comment on here too, since the replies have been a little different than my first idea. I also realized that i insult myself most by calling myself weak and a coward, and lazy, but those aren’t really the deepest insults someone else could call me. That...

It's my hunch that one's own worst insult to recieve can a say a lot about what resides in their shadow. For example, the harshest insult for me is probably to be called a coward. I rarely call anyone this because it's a grave thing for me to say. Complancy and sloth are disgusting to me, and...

"Drink the wine of immortality for youself!"

Double post because I meant to change my answer after realizing I misunderstood the question. I didn't realize that it was about dysfunctional goals. As far as money, pleasure, fame, or power-- none of these are really on my radar as vices. If anything, I don't value pleasure enough. I have a...

You obviously do not understand his philosophy whatsoever if you have that opinion. He was sick and suffered immensely, but his philosophy is very joyful at its core.

Oh, I can do this with emotion as well! My art is extremely flowing with very strong movement and shape, because it’s what i focus on most. I can convey emotions with flowing shapes too, like it’s made of moving evergy. the way it moves describes the essence of how the emotion is. i like to use...

Great chart, lots of compelling ideas here. I particularly like the leftmost part, which describes how the maturation of a person is a microcosm of the whole of humanity. That's an idea i've been chewing on for a long time, and this is a more detailed version of my own thoughts. I think so much...

Recently returned to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which is already one of my favorite books, but today I started Wilhelm Baynes' translation of the I Ching, which my boyfriend got me as a surprise. I've been wanting to delve into this for a while, but only now do I think I am ready. I've known that...

"Thou hast made danger thy calling. Therein, there is nothing contemptible."

This question resonates with you all? None of these are important to me whatsoever. -- Unless you replace pleasure with passion, money with opportunity, fame with influence, and power with security. Someday I hope my philosophical ideas will reach the minds of other visionaries and I can...
