Give time to time. Physical time is always the same but our appreciation of it changes the psychological perception. Patience is not the mastery of time but the acceptance of time, it is becoming attentive to the smallest and savoring each moment. Move from impatient waiting to attentive patience. Live with your time and take the time to live. Taking your time is not wasting it but giving it value.
Kriss PapillonHave fun in everything you do. Actively seek fun as you are more productive when you are having fun: do what you want without justifying yourself and do meaningless things from time to time. You learn better when you are having fun so always ask yourself questions and ask them to others too, even the stupid ones. Everyone is unique and therefore everyone has their own way of learning, you just have to get into the habit of doing things.
Craig BenzineIrony has several degrees: reality-based sincerity, then mocking irony, then post-irony sincerity with sarcasm, then meta-irony mixing sincerity and irony generating confusion. A meta-irony satire example is Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal where he writes about eating poor people's babies. People take it as a joke to actually point out the fact that we need to treat poor people better, when in fact he actually wanted to make us eat poor people babies and the reader only understands that in the end. Meta-irony has no meaning because we don't actually know what the core message is, eating babies or helping the poor in this example.
Greg GuevaraIt is difficult to be simple as we are aware of being and we must be what we are. We look at ourselves through the consciousness of the other. Even if they are not there, their presence is integrated into us. But who really thinks and loves me, and what defines me? We do not know ourselves because we have never looked for ourselves according to Nietzsche. Everyone is the most foreign to themselves, we are not men of knowledge for ourselves because we do not make the effort to know ourselves. It is complicated to be simple because we prefer to be complicated. We seek entertainment to avoid thinking about ourselves. By working hard, we manage to undo complexity and make everything simple. The characteristic of a simple life is that it produces acts that resemble it. It is not calculated or thought out, it is an impulse. As a score seems complicated when you look at the notes that follow one another, it is one and simple as a whole. It is complicated to be simple because you have to make the effort to unify in yourself everything that characterizes you. To be simple is the accomplishment of a life. Complication is superficial.
