Extremes are places of pain. Too much pessimism and you end up depressing yourself and in pain. Too much optimism and you end up blaming yourself and in pain. I'm still grasping with the idea of pain existing in order for us to appreciate pleasurable things; I'm a pessimist after all, I won't just eat those NPC ideas, they have to be subjected to a rigurous analysis and of course, feeling and intuition. Anyways, it seems this reality is all about duallities, they are everywhere:

Yin-Yang

Blackill-Whitepill

Science-Spirituality

Body-Mind

Biology-Psychology

Chaos-Order

Evil-Good

Antimatter-matter

Physics-Metaphysics

Demon-Angel

Ugly-Beautiful

Short-Tall

Stupid-Intelligent

And so on...

There are some extremes on which we are placed and it is not our fault. It is never our fault. Try to remind yourself that fact everyday. I was being too hard on myself due to the circumstances I was placed in and I'm still in. It made me suffer even more, it was like my external problems weren't enough for me that I had to go and create internal problems so that I could suffer more.

Dealing with difficult things is difficult, but even though my ego resisted the idea, I think I have learned to let go of my resistance to accept that some of part of this idea might be true, in short, one should never allow oneself to be a victim of circumstance. The problem is not evolving, not doing something about it, not transforming yourself. Even giga Blackpill youtubers like RehabRoom criticized the idea of not doing anything with your life. I think that allowing ourselves to be victims of our circumstances is the worst thing possible because we get stuck on ways of thinking that end up producing more pain in the long run. It is like we are slowly digging our own graves and we are not even realizing it while life gets worse.

Sure, it is painful to see other people living lives out of a fantasy, but you are you brother, they are them. If you don't do something it will be you the one who will suffer, not them. Even if our ego/animal brain wants to compare itself to everything and everyone, it doesn't make any sense. After all, no one chooses to find themselves in unfortunate circumstances. Letting go of resistance itself is painful.

Do not be too hard on yourself, remember that you're a human after all.


For pain there is a limit (limited nervous system), but for suffering there is no limit (unlimited and infinite mind).

Rooting for you to find balance.

I think blackpill is often a first round of questioning reality, and it leads you to spiral too far. But you can't go back to being someone who doesn't question reality. Gotta find that balance.
Life is all about balance... Be extreme if life is extreme. Be balanced if life is balanced. It is all on us to decide in what to transform ourselves.

I don't agree, but at least you're thinking deeply about life. My personal spiritual practice can be considered extreme by some people. I hate the way the world is. I hate wage slavery. I'm a revolutionary. I fantasize about a protracted and bloody revolution to change the world into a place I want to live in

Hmm, you know? I don't think there is nothing worng with being extreme. The problem lies in beign extreme all the time. You can balance being extreme and being balanced. You can too balance being revolutionary and being conservative if you want.

Suicide is the natural response to you finding out life is meaningless. You donโ€™t have to do it but it should never make you question the ideology itself because death is a normal part of life and blackpill = realism.

There is no such thing as "Blackpill = Realism". These concepts did not existed previous to the surge of consciousness. Life just is. Life is not brutal, nor not brutal. Life just is. Life is being, are you being? Stop attaching all of these interpretations to life based on your perceptions of it.

There is no such a thing as beautiful or ugly, these are all states of brain neurochemistry that can induce behaviours on pain and pleasure in others and ourselves. They just are that; states of brain neurochemistry.

Would you say a person is affected by the blackpill depending on how engulfed they are by it mentally? like obsessing over it.

Blackpill is a set of facts about the real world. It is us humans the one who suffer by attaching emotional labels to these facts. The illusion is that we have to suffer in the first place. So, yes to your question.

Well matter of the fact is, 99.99% of the world can't just turn off their emotions and feelings, they can control them and keep them in check but you can't just switch them off as you please, that's not how humans work imo.

It is not about "turning off" our emotions. In fact, meditation is about feeling them passionately in order to be able to accept them.

If we just turn off emotions we become emotionally repressed which generates resentment, this resentment is manifested in the mind as depression.
