    Everytime I see videos like that, I have to remember the promise I made to myself not to become like my father.
    It gets harder every year.

      i find it helps me to view other people explicitly as separate entities with free will.

      Makes it harder to do any sort of funny business when you’re more aware of their autonomy on a fundamental level.

        Sounds like something a figment of the imagination of the only person in the universe would say

          you got me on that one, i am in fact not a real person, i am merely an ethereal being who resides in this weird place known as the internet.

          Most people aren’t very privy to it yet though.

        I often think of the phrase “we judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intent,” usually while driving, and try to just let people live their life and their story.

          i’m very fundamentally apathetic, so i just find it really hard to care about anything, i’ve also been practicing a sort of “focusing on the things that really matter in life” way of living, which helps with that a lot.

          There are ALWAYS things to worry about less.
