The rules you play by are subject to who you want to become
If you are floating around the internet taking in advice, be careful to note where it is coming from and what direction it points you in.
If the advice is the content, what you want as a result becomes the context. When anyone can say anything, we need the context to recognize the message.
What seems like a good message, applied into a different context could be disastrous. I think humans have a tendency to thing messages must be invulnerable, we can barely hold context in consideration. I also think its an easy way to criticize any message, find the right context, and now the message is an awful thing.
Who needs to hear they should work harder? Who desperately needs to relax? Who should soften and meditate? Who ought to affirm their anger and do something good with it?
So much of what “resonates” is just the social current. What was taboo 5 years ago is celebrated today, only to be outdated tomorrow.
This is why I turn away from so much political “Pristine-ism”
