That's exactly the point. I'm not upset because I don't expect people online to have any sort of sense. I adjusted that expectation long ago and I'm much happier for it.

But you seem to be assuming that I'm saying everyone should just drop their expectations and be happy. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that suffering is caused by desire. So if you can reduce your desire, you can reduce your suffering.

But many times you can't, or shouldn't, reduce your desire. I won't ever desire to be okay with what's happening in my country, for example. I choose to be unhappy with it.

So choose to be fucking unhappy. It's okay to be unhappy. I'm not going to judge you for it.

What's the difference between that and suppressing your true feelings? From my perspective, it just seems like a strategy for bottling up what you actually feel rather than letting your true feelings out. On the surface at least, it sounds like that's a recipe for it blowing up at some point in a much worse way?

The difference is changing your mind.

Mind expanding on that? Because to put it bluntly, part of it just sounds like giving up and stagnating.
