Today's letter is philosophical not practical. It will contain words, many of you will not understand.

In any case here is it—

How to build wisdom in a world full of idiots

Let's start

—

The first step to understanding wisdom is to know what you want out of life.

Because wisdom has a lot of versions.

Some will say:

• "Go this way and you'll be happy"

• "Some say go right and you'll be rich"

• "Other people say go upwards and you'll discover the meaning of life"

90% of people are bots. They have no opinions of their own and follow whatever popular trend is happening.

Because they have no original thought of their own—they become a husk—a shell of their potential.

Never great always average.

Living an average life is painful. Your mind and body screams everyday to work on your potential—and because most people are unaware of this paradox—they self-sabotage, indulge in bad habits or make excuses.

People who do not have goals are narcissistic, cynical and pessimistic.

In summary they are negative.

They give advice that they haven't lived and sucks.

They value other people but hate their own family.

They cannot see that in the future—the more they stay and continue as they are—they will never improve as a person and blame everyone else for the problems they have while never taking responsibility themselves.

Build Your Brain

The human mind is like a computer—it spits out the quality of information you consume.

If you consume garbage you will think garbage.

If you read quality information you will think better.

It's such a simple thing yet many people do not want to acknowledge this truth.

They watch the news to stay informed while always feeling scared someone might stab them in public places.

They keep following trends that do not matter and never have their own opinion because they are afraid their friends will leave them alone.

People watch traumatic events and think they'll be fine afterwards.

People consume controversial media and think they're being informed while they're just being profited from their attention.

The information you put inside your mind is as important as what you eat, drink and consume.

Consume garbage and your mentality becomes garbage.

Consume quality information and your mentality improves.

This is why reading is such a meta skill.

Learn To Be Different

This quote is 9 out of 10 times misinterpreted.

Who you are as a person should never be bought by money or temptations.

You must be able to stick to what you really love doing despite criticism and backlash from both the people you and love and people who do not matter.

Denying yourself of your inclination will just make your demons stronger and consume you.

• Avoid stupid people.

• Avoid people who always think you are wrong and they are right.

• Avoid people who are incapable of humbling themselves.

It surprises me just because you think you have an idea that you think is correct gives you the right to say "you are wrong and I'm right".

I always see this paradox everywhere.

It's always the dumbest who talks a lot while having zero understanding and the wise just looks at them like clowns dancing in a circus.

Doesn't have to be in real life.

Be it social media or a simple misunderstanding people fight over in group chats.

It's so common.

Avoid Cynics and Pessimists

Life is already hard enough.

Don't make it harder by hanging out to people who love to spread negativity.

You see this type of people everywhere; they whine, create drama/problems, backstabs you and ultimately just makes your life worse.

I have one advice for this kind of people: Cut them off completely.

People like this are insecure. If you want to learn why you should never hang out with these kinds of people give this letter a read: add the asshole letter latest)

It's simply not worth it to be friends with insecure and jealous people.

Average people who've never read books or had ever had the change to educate themselves outside of academia have never tasted truth.

They lack the comprehension and tolerance of pain to bear what something really is not what they think something should be.

A lot of people are delusional.

Just agree and nod even if you actually don't care about what they're saying.

The Duality of Love and Hate

  The people we care the most are the ones who are going to hurt us the most.

The duality of emotions is simple—the more you allow it to free flow the easier your management of emotions becomes.

The more you suppress and deny—the stronger it becomes.

To hate and love the people you care about is the height of compassion.

We may hate the way we were treated before but if we are able to channel those anger to compassion—we may be able to see what life truly means if we wish to open our eyes to what is real and truthful then we must learn understand why dark and light works together in harmony.

For half knowledge is dangerous if not cultivated properly.

Most of our pains and trauma come from family. And family is where you spend 90% of your time.

Make your relationships better with your family even if it's painful.

Most hate is childish. Only a few resentment is valid.

• Injustice

• Betrayal

• Trauma

A lot of people are emotional not logical—therefore they do not have the skills and ability to do what it takes to see something as it should be seen.

Of course if someone is being an asshole then avoid them completely and cut them off. But if its people you care about then learn to love and hate them at the same time.

It's the way the world works.

We will always have something we will dislike from someone. You are not exempted.

And as say the word "hate" I do not mean you want to take their soul and make them go to the afterlife—I mean it as a dislike of you wanting to get rid of the negative side or trait that are holding them back so they can improve and become a better person.

How To Reach Self-Actualization

Actualized people are people who've opened themselves to society and have recognized patterns most average people fail to understand is something of a rare occurrence.

These are the people who tend to be great writers, athletes, singers and business men.

They have simply understood society and themselves too deeply that they are able to move the hearts of people through their craft

Let's learn what it takes to reach this level

1) Suffering is Necessary If You Wish to Become Wise

Emotions open the heart and when it opens the heart you start to see and notice things you've never really seen before. And because most people cannot see or recognize what you see—they repeat the mistakes you've learned and as a result you become wiser thanks to their reminder.

Avoiding suffering is like a building a house without any foundation. For suffering teaches you how to live.

It is inevitable that we will die one day. And suffering is the one who will teach us what it means to truly live. For living is not the same as suffering.

You can die without any glory and achievement—yet can you call yourself truly alive if you've never felt what it's like to struggle to achieve your goals and mission in life?

Suffering is a fundamental process to a man's life.

Men become stronger through hardships and problems.

Grown boys who've never understood what it's like to shoulder pain and problems in life look like girls.

They grew up comfortably and as a result they became weak.

They have soft hands and a weak mindset. They look cute not tough. And that's around 80-90% of young men today.

Society has made you weak. It's your job to regain your strength.

2) Solitude As The Source Of Greatness

Many people cannot be alone. For that reason they lack original thought.

And when people lack original thought they cannot be great. For greatness is unique and uniqueness comes from original thought.

In order for you to truly know who you are as a person you must be able to see and look at yourself who you truly are not what you think you are.

For acceptance is the first step to growth.

• To accept that you suck.

• To accept that you are not as good as you think you are.

• And to accept that you have a long road ahead if you wish to become someone people will remember.

Making excuses will only hurt you. But pretending to know there is nothing wrong will internalize the hurt to become a self-fulling downfall prophecy.

People who cannot be alone tend to kill their identity and potential merely because they are so influenced and do not really know who they are, and who they want to become.

Many people just exist. They are aimless like a machine designed to be useful but not meaningful.

A major cause of depression these days is lack of meaning. When life feels worthless—everything becomes gray and black.

There's no blue and light. It's as if—the devil stole your happiness.

3) Temptations As Trials

We may think having the desire of doing something bad is bad but that is where strength is actually found.

The only thing you can control is your choice.

There are millions of factors you cannot control or grasp—but your the choice to do something is always yours even if circumstances do not provide the chance of a much more better option.

You have the ability to uphold your values or break it. You have the choice whether to commit something against your values or not.

You become wise when other people struggle to see what is the right action while it's crystal clear to you.
