Can Your Suffering Inspire Others? The suffering of saints is the growing pains of the universe For most of my life, I was angry. I felt like I’d been mistreated by people I trusted, denied opportunities I deserved, and subjected to an unfair amount of adversity in comparison to other, more fortunate people. In some ways, I was right: I’ve experienced much injustice over the years. However, the more I examined my life, the more I realized that much of my suffering had been self-inflicted....

What Is The Purpose Of Suffering? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do we suffer? Are we being punished by some cosmic entity who watches our actions and exacts revenge for our every transgression? Or is it all in our head—is suffering a condition that we inflict on ourselves by choice? Today, I’m going to philosophize on suffering, with the ultimate goal of convincing you that suffering is not a punishment, but a gift. I’ll start with a story. Diamonds Are Forever—And So Is Back...

How To Get Ultimate Revenge On Your Enemies One day, when I was ten years old, I was stick-fighting with my friend in his front yard. He was older, and he had a bigger stick, and I wasn’t particularly good at stick warfare to begin with, so he won. I was pissed. He always won, and I was tired of it. Nearby, I saw an even bigger stick. It was closer to me than him. I lunged for it. He knew he couldn’t reach it before me, so he turned and ran inside. I stood under the tree and gave my new...

How To Stop Anger From Ruining Your Life Get better at managing your anger with neuroscience and philosophy Nothing has done more damage to my personal life than anger. When I was young, I was aggressive with timid friends, I’d yell at video games, and I’d cry angry tears whenever I lost at anything. When I was older, I learned to keep my anger hidden –– most of the time. But eventually, it would come out: I’d swear up a storm while navigating Tampa traffic I’d yell at my computer and phone...

To Become Wise, You Must Learn From Others Many people have an idea that, to become wise, or to “level up your life,” you must isolate yourself, turn inward, and reject the company of others. They say that everything you need is already in you, and that you can only discover it by meditating, visualizing your goals, and hustling in silence. I think that’s bullshit. Now, don’t get me wrong, there is certainly a benefit to reducing how much content you consume, shrinking your social circle, and...

How To Practice Self-Care Without Self-Sabotage Throughout history, there’s always been a thin line between authentic self-love and unrepentant vanity. On the one hand, it’s important to set boundaries with others, make time for rest and relaxation, and enjoy life’s most pleasant blessings in moderation. On the other hand, it’s important to “turn the other cheek” as Jesus did, to push our minds and bodies to the limit regularly, and to maintain vigilance against the corrupting gravity of...
