the essential #psychological failure of #toxicIdealism is as follows:
if one can justify a position inside the ivory tower mind palace of one's self-regard, then that is "morality"
no, it's #ego masturbation
true #morality is action, even if it is messy
but they value the purity of themselves, over actually mattering to the world
the real world is too messy, they can't be bothered with messiness
ego over #reality
A quotation from Bertrand Russell
The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

Un #percorsospirituale non può, in alcun modo o forma, portare #tranquillità. So che può sembrare assurdo, ma intraprendere un #lavorospirituale propriamente detto vuol dire mettersi in guai grossi.
Nella spiritualità moderna (si potrebbe dire #NewAge, o anche bianca occidentale e capitalista) invece è tutto semplicissimo, ti basta lasciarti andare al flusso, vedere che Tutto è Uno e che tu sei Dio, che ha un grande disegno per tutti. Un modo come un altro per metterti al tuo posto.
Il fascismo spirituale moderno ti porta a fermarti, dandoti delle risposte semplici e brevi per farti capire quanto tu sia speciale. Ti fa capire che il posto in cui ti trovi va bene. È Xanax dell'anima (di cui fa parte anche il corpo, ma quello non è importante e va trasceso).
L'Ego diventa il più grande nemico di una "persona spirituale", anche se non si capisce come facciano poi a vivere nel mondo senza, e se fai qualcosa, qualunque cosa, è proprio per #Ego e stai sbagliando. Soprattutto se ti esponi a favore di una causa che non ti tocca direttamente! Perché non riesci ad andare oltre ai dualismi e vedi tutto o bianco o nero.

Ei hyvältä näytä, kun vanhoilla ja äskettäin puhki-leikatuilla päivillään aikoo oppia jotain muka uutta Joulusta.
Eilen mieltä ja sitä kantavaa kehoa lämmitti, kun tajusin vielä päässeeni omaan saunaan. Sellainen on minulla/meillä ollut vasta vuoden. Ison 4.11. selkäleikkauksen jälkeisen suolitukoksen vaatiman 9.11. mahan avauksen huonosti parantunut haava umpeutui juuri sopivasti. Kivut ovat jatkuvat sekä-että, mutta se saunan lämpö.
Tänään Joulupäivänä arvelen tajunneeni, että sisältöä elämään tulee itsensä ulkopuolelta. Omaa hyvinvointiani vahtiessani voin todellakin vajaasti, vaikka pääsin jo irti kovista kipulääkkeistä. Ei suju hyvin yöt, eikä päiviin kerry sellaista sisältöä, joka tapasi kantaa. Syytä voi löytyä kolmen viikon sairaalakurimuksesta, jos niinku.
Mutta läheisten palvelu silloin kun ei siihen olisi luontevaa halua, se ainakin itselläni avasi jonkin salvan energian virrata. Kyse ei ollut isosta asiasta, vain ilmoittautumisesta vapaaehtoiseksi perheen piirissä; siitä mitä perheen emännät tai isännät varmaan tekevät rutiiniinomaisesti. On hyvä tehdä hyvää, ja se kummasti "vapauttaa itseni kahleista", jos joku tämän kielikuvan tavoittaa.
Muilla tämä energian annon ja saannin kuvio varmaan toimii ilman tällaisia eksistentiaalisia haihatuksia, mutta minulla tämä oli ylimääräisten lähiympäristön halausten ohella suorahko syy mm. tähän: https://mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/113715190460108527
Oh dear, dear Mr. #Putin. During #COVID, when it is said you sat in dusty #Russian #historical #map rooms, sniffing your own farts, high on your own #ego, dreaming of being the next #PeterTheGreat or #IvanTheTerrible, and you thought: "sure, let's go for #Ukraine"...
Did you imagine it would go this bad, botox ghoul?
Kyiv delayed #MineralsDeal to let Trump take credit
In bid to secure #Trump's support Ukrainian govt appealed to Trump’s #ego
Ukraine's home to huge deposits of critical minerals, including #cobalt, #graphite, #lithium, planned to sign deal with Biden. #US Senators Graham & Blumenthal announced plans for the deal in August 2024
#Ukrainian authorities then twice delayed signing agreement
Delay is opportunity for Trump to claim victory at start of term

Breaking (up) News:
Heute war mein letzter Arbeitstag bei @digitalcourage.
Es war auch schön.
Ich bin dort vor gut drei Jahren hoch motiviert und mit großem Idealismus eingestiegen. Dieser Idealismus ist leider mit der Zeit, und vor allem nach der skandalösen Mitgliederversammlung im November 2023, immer mehr zu Skepsis und Frustration geworden. Ein fragwürdiges Demokratieverständnis in Führungspositionen und der Umgang mit Kritik waren Gründe dafür, aber auch die mangelhafte Aufarbeitung nach besagtem Eklat. Und ein anscheinend nicht gesehener starker Bedarf an Änderungen in Leitungskultur und Teamstrukturen, nachdem nun, mit neuem Vorstand und offiziellem neuen guten Anstrich nach außen wieder alles gut aussieht... Ich bin Nummer 11. Es ist so schade. Denn eigentlich habe ich gerne mit dem Team zusammen gearbeitet.
Nothing will cause time travel, its bestowed on you, not rewarded for some kind of striving, including torturing and poisoning anointed prophets and their families and lovers, while trying to replace them.
I never went looking for it, and probably never should have mentioned it, like basically all the Yoga texts recommend, to not #spoil and #corrupt #everyones #ego and #spirituality...
(seemingly worldwide.)

A few days ago, I wrote about my frustrations with my family and singled out one person. My public expression of dissatisfaction had the potential to cause pain, and it was mindless and mean of me to do so. I apologize for my actions.
What do you mean, not like this?
Back when I truly
Didn't give a shit
About anyone
Or anything
I was free
But when I noticed
Others have egos
You need to protect
For them to be happy
I created my own

I'm really glad I started caring about how others feel. I just happened to do it by telling myself a story about my role in this world.
So here I am, on my spiritual journey. Trying to get rid of my ego again.

#ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump's #Ego #Crushed By An Unexpected #Source (& It's On #Video)
As Trump bragged about his #crowdsizes, the #cameraperson pulled the #focus off him and #panned to the rest of the #arena, showing a totally empty #upperdeck. Then panned the #lowerseats showing most #sections were partly or completely empty. Was the #camera #operator sending a not-so-#subtle #message?

But then… [#MichelleObama], Without recrimination, …evoked the irony that in an #election to potentially elect the first #woman President, in which #WomensHealth care & very lives are at stake, so much of recent discourse has focussed on how to uphold the #ego of the American #man, & which vision of #masculinity should prevail in the nation.
Obama brought it back to the intimate matter of the body.
