...to start a war you need a few things. First one are those who benefit from it financially-economically-politically by the inherent-intrinsic sales and redistribution of wealth-assets within the reduced population. Second is the multitude of unhappy 'slaves' who do not mind to put an end to their miserable-painful existence. And we are unlikely to influence the first at least individually whilst the second one is a very thin equilibrium between ratios of people living beyond poverty level (or close ) to those who live a quite comfortable and meaningful life experience. In other words the bigger the separation between groups of people in the society the more likely that the poor and suffering gonna get the scales tipped at some point and will just take what they need by the law of the jungle and I think it's a government approved way-just wait and nudge things slightly into the desired direction. So that the real causes and real players of the situation might be quite removed from Russia and Ukraine...but fundamentally speaking there are only two fundamental causes Greed and Pride.
7 days. Long day of working. I feel quite overloaded and there are many issues involving me which makes it mentally exhausting. My urges are also very noticeable, was tempted to fish a bit after I ate dinner bit managed to retreat before I saw anything really triggering. Fishing for me is an indication that I need to step up my vigilance, once I start to fish I usually relapse within a few days. It's like the smallest deviation from the right path creates a force you cannot resist. Maybe I'm just experiencing the classic "testo peak" around 7 days or something and I just need to get over that. On a positive note, I think I tangent my longest streak 2022
Checking in Fellowship Friends! Day 399 free of MO and day 8 free of porn. Today was a better day, although I only did half the additional breaks that I wanted to add in my day. I was more composed overall and I feel better. I did wake with a few urges, but they were not as persistent. Aside from that, looking forward to the upcoming weekend. Just to kick back and relax. Stay Strong! 8 >> Uruk – Hai (You feel stronger and faster but you´re still a slave to the PMO ring. A desire arises to break free from it´s chains) @SSS Vision Congrats on making it to 50 and becoming a bearded Dwarf! @EpsilonDelta Well done on your longest streak this year, let's keep moving forward yes? @RiseToGreatness You are right brother, I'm not sure where everyone is located in the world but perhaps we are better off than two Countries going at war at the moment.
Daily check in and moment of silence for Ukraine. “The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last, the great battle of our time.” – Gandalf
Day 55 Less urges today which was positive. but I’m dreadfully ill. Thankfully not COVID, probably just a bad cold or flu. A sad day for the world, it sickens me that world leaders can still justify invasion and war at the cost of innocent lives - my prayers are with the people of Ukraine.
Day 6 complete. Even when a streak is going well, despair is never far away. It's very easy to slip into a mindset of thinking, "Sure, this is going well right now, but maybe it won't be tomorrow. You can't keep this up forever. You're going to fall tomorrow, or the day after that, or next week. Soon." We must reject these thoughts. This is why it's important to live in the present, taking things one step at a time, and why deep breathing exercises are so helpful. They ground us in the current moment, which is the only time we can control and the only time we need to control. Sts. Cyril and Methodius, pray for us!
Day 73 complete I fell in love with the girl from back to the future for about 12h. I looked her up on google. The next day I was not in love any more but still wanted to look at girls pictures online. The day without work had hit me on the urges. I think I am gettin over it now. I think a man’s way is to accept that not all russians are bad, because they are at war with Ukraine it doesn’t make the whole nation bad. But a man should still shoot an invader in the face if he shows up at the doorstep. I am going to donate some money to support Ukraine.
Some temptations due to chaser, but overcome them and bonded with my gf. Day 1 - Orc, The Dark Tower Barad-Dûr
