Except drugs and addiction. Skip that mistake and learn from other peoples failures.

Adding to that, in order to learn from mistakes, you need to first know and acknowledge you’re making a mistake. This sounds like common sense, surprisingly not. You can go years or your entire life before you realize you’ve made a cataclysmic mistake. Could be right in your face while you’ve been living in denial.

Next choose to learn from your mistakes, and it’s not always easy. ** either you choose to learn or you will continue to make the same mistake.

So, I’m constantly trying to improve myself. Manipulation is one of The strongest tools that someone can use in order to get what they want. With manipulation you sacrifice morals. I don’t like sacrificing my morals. With time I have practiced using less and less manipulation with more and more genuine honest responses. Unfortunately this is the hardest part. By doing this, everyone who capitalizes on manipulation by bending other people to their will apparently see me as a mark. I am intentionally not manipulating to be a good person, but it heightens the amount that I get attacked. It is not that I am primarily gullible or naïve. It is that I simply do not like attacking people, so it projects the false impression that I am weak prey. I simply want to love, and be loved…

I’d rather have only good days and never appreciate them if that was the only two options, but realisticly there are greatfulness excersises so you could still be appreciative with only good days. I dont wish for natural disasters so i can appreciate a roof over my head.

well, u were arguing witht the other dude about motives. he argued that havin kids was selfish. It was a surprisingly nuanced answer, because there are, afaik, two possible claims here. Either its A) the desire for conception is selfish (especially if its an instinctual desire), or B) the outcome is undesirable (e.g. an insecure future for the child). Ofc, you brought in a completely different argument that it props up an economy and failed to address the above two claims directly, but the curious thing is that selfishness and self-serving principles are very much part of the incentives of a free economy, so really there isnt a point of contention between you and him. thats why I wanted to clarify and see if you were aware that you had been arguing a strawman.
