Not are you ready to die. Are you emotionally prepared to die?

    Can you explain your comment further, please? It’s worded very interestingly, but I’m having a hard time getting it.

    Are you saying that one should not care about shitty people?

      That but more so: Don’t become a shitty person. Everyone struggles. Some in dangerous ways, some in quiet ways.

      Don’t take it entirely personally or fixate on just shitty people.and the fact that no one asked to be born kinda sets the field that no one is really owed more than anyone else when it comes to existing. This means we are accountable to ourselves just as much as we think everyone else should be accountable.

      If you just sit there and count all the shitty people and overlook anything good just to fulfil a prediction there is a good chance you’re swaying to the shittier side.

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s ok to vent or get upset about shitty people, and it’s important to watch for the signs and look out for them. just try to expand your everyday thoughts to include more than just to the shitty people to really get a sense of life and it says a lot about who you really are becoming in that moment . Especially towards other people outside of you.

      Just try this once in a while : take a position as if you’re a good person and you did something good. Maybe you did something really nice and selfless for someone else. Now how would you feel in the face of someone overlooking you and all that you did just so they can point out all the shitty people on their life? Would you think of them as a good person? Or a shitty one?

        I think I know what you’re saying.

        “Don’t waste time with shitty people, don’t become a shitty person.”

        But the reasons go over my head. “Because nobody is owed anything for existing” and “Because it’s not okay to be shitty when people do good to you” sound disconnected.

        But that’s okay. If you want to elaborate further, I’ll be happy to continue reading. I won’t blame you if you don’t.

        Thank you for expanding further.
