Most important realization of "growing up" * 5
    #23458193 - 07/20/16 12:47 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

A coworker asked me what I thought was the most important think I've learned about growing.. And my answer was something I've known for many years before, but that has been highlighted more and more recently, an understanding that is more apparent each day..  It's simple, that no one ever really "grows up".. We're all just big kids on the same level. Some of us like to pretend we're on higher or lower levels depending on how we project our egos, how we see ourselves based of our social and income status', on how we measure success and what not... But really,  as I see it,  we're just all children on the same playing field, playing make believe, wearing ccostumes, being silly and/or serious, and seeking truth..

What's the most important thing you've learned about "growing up"?

Don't fuck with other people in life. People suck. Be extremely careful around others, they will hold you to every legal pursue that they can. I have never been sued before but people are "friends" and then one sues another.

Same goes for in the work place. Play by the rules as much as possible as if every thing is completely on record. People will hold you to your every action and use it against you any way they can.

NEVER enter into a business with a friend. NEVER produce drugs with a friend. NEVER grow drugs with a friend. It turns out like shit every time unless you have found some one really cool in life who does not ONLY care about the end result but the process that it takes to get there.

People ALWAYS want the money but they NEVER want the work.

Drug manufacturing takes work, these motherfuckers want the end results but they never want to put the time into it. Fuck em all.

Great contribution to the thread topic :thumbup:

Seriously.. have protected sex. I have a friend who knocked up a girl who has turned out to be a absolute nut case of a psycho bitch. Now his life is fucked. However if people practiced safer sex I would not get as many laughs in life.

mmmm have you been reading the suicidal poems thread ? hehehehe

@dr wong, no i have not. But yea really. Wear a fucking condom. Could save your life in more than one way.

Also, nothing is permanent, the only constant we are guaranteed in life is change.

Let people be, just be (yourself). Enjoy life, but not at others expense. Listen to elderly people, they have things to say/teach you (unless they are senile/crazy, but you can still learn something). :grin: Don't be a dick! (females included on this last one):grin:

My most important is the realization of the "seriousness" in life. Shit is serious. Things are very serious.

You let some one into your house for example. Think about how serious that is. What your saying is "I trust you wont rob me. I trust you wont ruin my things. I trust you want touch my girl friend.". It's very serious.

When saying "fuck you" to some one when angry think about what your really saying, the seriousness of it. Your saying "Destroy you, hate you, ruin you, to hell with you".

Another part of the seriousness is talking about people. People never have illumination of seriousness and they talk shit about people lightly with out real reason. Your ruining reputation. Your damaging reputation. Your making things worse for that other human. You are very serious, things spread lives get changed for the worse.

I have realized the seriousness of life threw drug usage. Particularly magic mushrooms. This is why I say "don't fuck with people". Don't fuck with them, just leave em alone.

You have to make the most of every single day and tell everyone that is close to you how much you love them. Don't be shy to give your family a hug, fuck social 'norms', just fucking do it. You just never know what will happen tomorrow.....although tomorrow does not even exist...

I also don't agree we are all just big kids.


Adults get to do stuff like bukakke and shit.  Kids play in sandboxes.

We grow and change, and lock ourselves in little boxes.  We continuously lose interest in things that once made us lose sleep at night twinkling over.

Not that bukakke makes me lose sleep at night yearning for that moment.

But things become a lot different as we grow closer to the grave.  We either have to constantly chase a new high, whether it be diving deeper into the ocean, climbing higher on a mountain, sky diving, smoking crack, having 75 elderly women pee all over your face, or winning the lottery........or we have to accept the ultimate end and become at peace with it, flow through days like water, accept what comes to us during the flow, and follow that feeling that used to keep us awake at night as kids once we find it again.


The invidual flame in us burns so hot it devours us and blinds us, what fuels it is our pain and grief, and we forget to throw our indifference's and grudges into the flame of the universe for good.  We all have a flame.  What we choose to hold on to will cause us to blindly wander in spite, worry, fear, ignorance.

A huge difference between children and adults is a reason to hate.  And how we choose to rid ourselves of hate.  Kids can be as maniacal or as brilliant as a full grown adult, but there's a lot of difference between the two.....really the only similarity is we will never know what's truly going on no matter what........but a 10 year can't go get a hooker to cover up his pain......a 40 year old can.

Everyone has their problems, contrary to what you were brought up to believe because of this child worship mentality adults seem to have, no body gives a shit about yours or anything you have to say or have to care so be decent and dont be a douche because regardless of how important you feel you are all of us are nobody in the long run


Basically sums up my frelings of being an adult

1. Just because you can do something that you want to, doesn't mean you should.

2. Hard work pays off, and there is no success without it.

This.

Going to give more than one, because life is complex.

Live for yourself, at least to some capacity. You are the only one who can ultimately make yourself happy and fulfilled, because only you know your deeper motivations, talents, and desires. Spending a lifetime trying to live another person's dream or meet their expectations is a complete waste of time. Furthermore, you can't hope to bring happiness to anyone else's life if you aren't there yourself.

Also...pay it forward. That doesn't just mean with others, but also yourself. Do things today which will pay off down the road. That way any momentary setbacks will be at least somewhat offset by forward thinking contributions of your past. This applies to all areas of health, finances, socializing, home ownership, career/work, etc.

With regards to relationships, friends, family, or partners...keep it simple. Hang out, have fun, and talk about anything. The ones worth keeping around aren't going to be bothered by you speaking your mind or acting weird...within reason, and also provided that you open the door for them to likewise behave freely. Love and friendship has to be done in such a way that the other person feels free.

Also...sunscreen and seatbelts (and condoms as mentioned), fucking use them.

Not all dreams should be pursued. Some should be left just as they are; dreams. Because most of the time, we're only in love with the end result, not the pocess of achieving that result. Sometimes, wanting something is better than having it.

realizations



You are going to make mistakes and you are going to fail, it's okay, and it's an integral part of growing as an individual - it's important to get out there and fall down and get back up, fear of failure or perfectionism is a sign of self awareness and high standards but you will never reach your true capability if it takes precedence in your life.

You never get wise, you only get older. No one gets an instruction manual, everyone is dealing with their own bullshit, and making things up as they go. If you're a young adult and you feel like a fuck up and like you haven't lived up to your potential or like you should've done this or done that instead, welcome to the club, almost everyone is in it and pretending not to be.

Few things in this world are worth the energy and effort required to hate something - people especially. The only way to win is to ignore and focus on your own shit.

Gandhi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world" and this is more important than ever for millennials. Even though we inherited some shit circumstances,  we still live in a time where we have so many other things other generations have not had, a million things need to change in the world but we're entitled to none of it if all we do is bitch and don't try to make a positive impact ourselves. Go do something, volunteer, start reducing your individual footprint on the environment, get involved in your local politics and look at things you can made an immediately difference in now instead of waiting for some collective shift or savior or worse, not thinking about it at all.


People do a lot of terrible terrible things and there are many I would not ever want to interact with but humans are generally good. I am going to be bold and say the vast majority of hurt in this world(there are exceptions to everything of course) is fostered through a lack of understanding, ignorance, pride and ego, and pain - rarely are people outright malicious or evil, though they are capable of evil things. Not trusting anyone is no way to live and trusting everyone is a good way to get burnt or worse.

I once took enough LSD to end up in a psychiatric unit for about two weeks.

During the ordeal, I met an old man who I was sure was God. I asked him what the secret of the universe was. He gave me a conspiratorial wink, leaned in and whispered to me, "Watch. What. You. Say."

He told me many other things but this is what stood out the most to me. Watch what you say. Most of the problems you'll have in life are completely dependent on what you say.

:shrug: Just my 2 cents.

Daily meditation, yoga, martial arts and exercise the only hope for inner peace.

People and life will be monstrously unfair and cruel often. Only turning inwards through yoga and meditation provides a sure and reliable refuge.

I really like what you said, Moonshoe, because I know the inner peace you reference. It is important to know how you can personally find inner peace, and most times it is through continued practice of activities that serve the good of your body and mind.

I think the most important realization I've had regarding "growing up' is that you control your own destiny. You may not be able to achieve your loftiest dreams--recognize them as dreams and leave them as such, as one member said above--but you are able to get an honest assessment of your personal situation and discover ways to better it.

There are many obstacles in everyone's path, but if you are conscious of their existence and focus on navigating around them, rather than allowing them to block your progress, you are able to better your situation. Forward thinking, as another member mentioned, will often better your life in the present, which, as another member stated, is all that there is.

Cheers pubbers :cheers: Thanks for the conversation; it has given me much nourishment.

you, and duk, of all people should know my thoughts on God and god.  i do like the open-endedness of "God, whatever one conceives [it] to be" line, as it incorporates all humans equally, and has no intention of displacing any single person based on personal beliefs.


you have to keep in mind this was written by a "monk" of the "catholic" religion, 400+ years ago.  for one to be this open-minded in that day and age, or this day and age, is of immense importance





duk specifically:  desiderata, imo, is universal, and can not be shared enough.  broken record or not, play on

My most cognizant realization was that we're self important and our lives and desires amount to nothing more then static against the backdrop of the infinite universe. The complete and total apathy of existence is the only rational reaction to your inevitable annihilation. In effect, that means your free to do whatever the fuck you please. Just be aware of the repercussions.

Taking care of people. Taking care of our communities. Taking care of your children. And mostly, taking care of yourself.

All of these are far more important than slaving your entire life away to a corporation who ultimately doesn't give a flying fuck about you.

Pfft, kind of fuck boy shit is this. "Taking care of your communities". This place, by design, is irreprehensibly violent. The very fabric of existence calls for the most vile of evils to be exacted for progress. Nothing gives a fuck about you. Death will take you and crush everything you love to dust, so its forgotten and never remembered. Life, by all accounts, is just a momentary lull in nothingness.

Whilst I agree that humans, en masse, are inherently violent, I think you disregard the value of community to us. Strong communities promote cooperation and good mental health IMO, and it is truly noble cause to dedicate oneself to to keeping them strong.

However, communities (tribes?) seem to be inherently warlike towards one another.

My realization growing up is that there are so many people that got dealt shitty hands that I have no reason to be unhappy given all the lotteries I have won at birth...

All I have to do is look at all my neighbors to the left and all my neighbors to the right and see it all plainly that I am lucky as fuck. Even with my coworkers.

- I could have had bad parents, but I didn't
- I could have been born in the 95% part of the world considered to be shitty. I wasn't
- I could have been raised in poverty. I wasn't
- I could have been a moron with no common sense or judgement. I'm not
- I could be drawn to crime and high risk activities. I'm not.
- I could be uneducated. I am not
- I could have bad health. I don't.

The only curse that comes with all this is that I bitch about everything because I live with people who didn't get everything I got... Stupid right?
