There's a story where a young plato and an (already) old socrates are walking on a beach together.
Plato is listening carefully to socrates, admiring every word, observing every move.
Then, he finally says something "oh, socrates!! I wish i had your wisdom!"
Then, socrates asks plato to follow him to the sea shore, where their knees are just soaking wet enough.
Then he asks plato to kneel, just a lil bit.
Then he quickly picks his neck and starts drowning him in the ocean.
When he's almost passing out, socrates takes him out of the water.
Plato asks him, naturally: "why did you do that?!!"
"The moment you'll want to seek wisdom as much as you wanted that gasp of fresh air, you'll begin the journey".
All that to say... hear me out on this one... we just... dont want it bad enough?!
A LOT (BUT NOT ALL OFC) cels out here dont wanna:
1. cut corners, through
looksmaxxing+betabuxx Delux (or just the regular type)
2. Say shit like "never pay for something another person got for free" when "beggars cant be choosers" is literally their reality all together (and undeniably so)
3. Dont even try basic shit, like losing weight and lifting some weights
4. Havent tried anything they can/could do to ascend (myself included)
5. Havent tried nichemaxxing through like: starting a band, becoming a fashion guru of sorts, joining a cultural tribe, etc.
And still think its not their fault whatsoever.
Maybe you just dont want it bad enough, bro.
PS: this site has become a lousy pity party of greycels, so i know this post will fly up most people's heads (if they even read it).
