Buddhism has entered the chat!
Learning to sit still, in the quiet, and just being has been one of the biggest improvements to my mental health.
Of course, a bigger improvement to my mental health would be if we had an economy that worked for the people rather than for the rich...
While I agree, there’s certainly a difference between learning to be comfortable with stillness and literally not being able to afford to do anything. I take time for stillness every day but the fact that I can’t do anything else without feeling guilt is the problem.
Also, as much as I know you are trying to be helpful, I’m really sick and tired of being told that I have to make all the sacrifices. Pretty soon the next sacrifice I’ma make is gunna be to Khorne.
There's a german poem that i find very intriguing:
Still sitzend,
nichts tuend,
kommt der Frühling
und das Gras wächst von allein.
It means:
Sitting still,
doing nothing,
comes spring
and the grass grows on its own.
It means that in very difficult times, where everything seems dead and hopeless (winter), being patient and doing nothing at all is best, and it will bring you into better times (spring).
