Take it easy, but not too easy?

The deathbed fallacy

https://medium.com/@rikardhjort/the-deathbed-fallacy-5e54d9639167

People like to say that if they don't do this or this or this, they will regret something when they die.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Reason 1: It is not a representative state

Reason 2: You don’t know your past selves, but you think you do.

Reason 3: Most people that die today lived in a world very different to yours.

Reason 4: Regrets do not matter for people with no future, and who know that they have no future. With only past and present, there is no regret, only reflection. 

I like people who tell it like it is.

Summary:

All personal decisions related to values, beliefs, habits, behaviours are fundamentally driven by emotions and there is always a tipping point at which emotions lead to a change in oneself.

On the 宅男宅女

Recently, I watched a show about people who stay at home and do their own thing, playing games and whatever. They are usually men.

It is always considered a kind of social work issue, and the tone is usually grim. It is usually phrased as a social problem that must be solved.

And a social worker is usually on the case.

Both sides have their judgements about the other.

My question is, who are we to judge one another?

Social utility is not the only game.

Who are we to put each other on a dominance hierarchy?

We need to transcend this.

Who Would You Be If The World Never Gave You an Identity?

I would be on perpetual road trip, going from place to place, appreciating the world.

I would generate new ideas, filter them and make new ones.

I'd probably be desperately poor because I am not sure I'd be solving any problems for the world?

...

“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you would not be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.” ~ Buckminster Fuller

I'd ask this on my next interview.
