Humanity
000 - Introductions?
Let me start by saying one thing, one absolute rule to always follow when working with me - I genuinely know nothing, and everything I say I do know I know because I have experienced it. This means I am the worst example to follow, and above all else I must always ask - never emulate my stupidity. You can learn a lot more by watching someone piss on the electric fence than by doing it - I've tried both.

A letter to my brother đź•Š
Not gonna lie, started the weekend off wanting to just be a home body. That’s all we can do well we’re in lockdown during a pandemic. Had another breakdown. But after a breezy walk home, shower sleep and maccas. It was the much needed, comforting long awaited conversation about what’s going on with my wellbeing with Harry. He brought to light many points that halted me still within. Cutting off my long term grief and ego, my pride and being able to Listen, I recognised, understood, acknowledged and my heart fully accepted my awakening for how and what it was.

I think it's a Weasel…
The world we now live in has changed beyond all recognition since I grew up in the 1970s. Technology and computing power have allowed breathtaking scientific discoveries but even though we have immense technology at our fingertips able to search and find out about virtually anything within seconds, we also live in an era of quack cures, fake news, and conspiracy theories.

Your tethered soul
Not to be influenced by the outside world, it seems that I can't do it just because I want to. It's hard to control, just like you can't pray for rain to fall in time on dry land; or you spend two dollars on a lotto ticket and think you can win a thousand or eight million. It's hard, it's harder than the sky. I am still the one who has a lofty ideal but is slow to realize it.

When you are thinking about a problem or learning, how not to be disturbed by the external environment, not to be affected by other people's words and not to be controlled by emotions.
In this question, the environment is the external factor, the emotion is the internal state, and the words of others are somewhere in between. The questions you're thinking about and the importance of what you're learning may also change the impact of these factors. Among these factors, the external environment seems to be relatively controllable, as long as your willingness to study is strong enough, it is OK to run to the library or study room in a rainstorm. Whether or not to do so can be weighed against the realities of the situation. Emotions may arise because of the words of others or from some thoughts of oneself. If the study task is more urgent, in fact, you can also consider changing places. But if the task wasn't so onerous or the emotions and words didn't matter so much. There are two solutions: 1. Put your homework on hold. If that person's words affect you, or some of your own emotions or thoughts affect you, there must be a reason. Think of it as one of your additional questions for today and try to challenge it. It is suggested to analyze it from three perspectives: a. On the realistic level, what kind of impact this emotion and this person has had on me, what kind of results it has caused, and how I describe my current state. B. Why does the other person's words affect me? / Why do these thoughts bother me? How can I go back to the source and find the cause of these problems. Have I ever been in a situation like this before, and how have I handled it? C. Knowing the influence of this person, this emotion on me, and the possible reasons for it, I have to decide what I want to do now based on the current situation. I love learning so much and I'm good at thinking. I'm sure I can find a solution. 2, see here actually can, because I haven't written, I think this paragraph is a bit like chicken soup for the soul or the truth. The point here is to increase your emotional tolerance. The colloquial term is to suck it up. Again, you can decide, based on reality, to do the above homework first and then suck it up. Or just suck it up and get on with your studies. This will definitely affect your learning efficiency, but it will also happen in the future. So, a lot of times, reality forces us to wear armor. Just know that it's for problems, not for who you are.
