Должно быть, прошло как минимум 30 лет или как минимум 25 лет с тех пор, как я впервые услышал об этой философии. . . .
Я все еще могу сказать не больше, чем «я слышу» ~ с совершенно непредвзятой и беспечной позицией; Мне нечего судить. . . .
Давным-давно я твердо решил: «Я не делаю «МНЕНИЙ», у меня есть соображения, чувства, выводы, понимания, убеждения*, убеждения*... и т. д. ~ но об этом я пока только слушаю... . . . .
Моим первым ощущением было что-то вроде: «Это оправдание чего-то без причины»; С тех пор я слышал, что есть что-то обнаружимое, но непостижимое, неизвестное. . . .

*************
It must be at least 30 years , or at least 25 ~ since I first heard of this philosophy . . . .
I still can say no more than "I hear" ~ with a completely non-judgemental & nonchalant position-attitude ; I have nothing solid to judge against . . . .
Long, long ago , I firmly decided: "I don't do 'OPINIONS' ; I have considerations , feelings , conclusions, understandings, persusasions* , convictions* . . . . ETC. ~ but on this I still am only listening . . . . .
My early feeling was, like, "this is an excuse for something without reason" ; Since , I have heard there is something detectable but unfathomable, unknown . . . .

The only personal aquaintance I have whom I could argue with (from my school days, a nuclear physicist, is in America & out of range !

I don't particularily view emotions as something to be 'controlled' of (exceptions may exist in certain situations but overall, I am not keen of this type of philosophy where either one of those options describe my point of view accurately). If I feel certain things, it's just part of being human. Do I sometimes get lost in particular feelings? Yes, of course. Strong emotions, such as love, grief or anger, are indeed capable of clouding my judgement or momentarily take over my demeanor but mostly it happens in a sense I feel kind of secure with. If not, those are also the odds of emotions. I just accepted that some emotions run deeper than others, need more time to ebb away or develop. That doesn't mean that I have to be in charge or my feelings 'control' me in some twisted way. I just let things be. I just let me feel.

It is not wrong at all.. it's just that in your case it's towards someone who doesn't feel the same.. I'm not saying that he doesn't love you.. it's just that his place in your heart is way more significant than your place in his heart.. don't make him your purpose of life if you're not his.. and about the "put yourself first" that is the worst individualist selfish bs philosophy.. and coming out of your significant other.. yeah that's a red flag.. SELFLESSNESS IS A VIRTUE!!!! no one's telling you to neglect yourself.. but putting others from time to time won't kill you it's a noble and a manly thing to do even with strangers leave alone you're loved ones!! putting your loved ones before you should be the normal thing to do.. people who truly love each other would fight over putting the other person before themselves.. this individualism bullsht is echoed so much especially in the west.. it's fuking disgusting and childish and selfish.. and it's because people abandoned faith so many crappy philosophies like this has surfaced.. well have fun with that bs

❪ ᴘᴜʀᴘʟᴇ. ❫
🔮 expressive, creative, emotive🔮
Creativity is the dominant element that characterizes people, like you, whose personality color is purple.

---

As a Purple, you are a creative thinker: thoughtful, reflective, maybe even a little quirky. Convention does not influence you. You are a problem solver, but take the road less traveled. You value art and other creative ventures. You’re very expressive verbally, physically, and in the work that you do. Life is whimsical; you leave your options open. Philosophy is important to you, as is existential thinking and maybe even a bit of nihilism.

---

You take great pride in the culturally diverse life you live, and the knowledge and respect that you have for all things in the realm of eclectic art. You have a wellspring of creative energy that you channel into productive artistic activity, including travel. You’re skilled with your hands and a true artisan at heart. Some people may criticize your fringy lifestyle, but you are unapologetic.

-The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey

(This classic is still a must read. As much as I love books like Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and all of the other classics, I think this has the most practical applications today. Don’t get me wrong , those other most definitely do as well, but I’d start here)

Love, patience, passion.

---

Allow me to explain my answers each. Over time, I've learned just how dark a road you can travel through hate. Racism, attitudes, deception, and other problems in the world cause a big divide, through hate and an inability to disagree peacefully. Love may not solve all conflicts, but you'll certainly get a lot less with it. Love is what makes life live in the first place, emotionally speaking. It draws all you need in your life, to your life.

---

Patience. Over time, I have rushed many things. Relationships, friendship, and the worst of all, I rushed understanding of everything I hoped to know. Something everyone should know, is that time is the best teacher. And the only way to learn that way is through patience. Patience is what acts as your primary support in life. It is your support beams.

---

Lastly, passion. Do you have a dream? Of any sort? Something you want to pursue with all your might? That is a passion. It is the drive in life. Even if you've already achieved your dream, it is something you love, and something you reached through patience. All three interconnect. This is just my opinion, and as my philosophy teacher told me, opinions are not an option. Which is why I explained it as best as I could.

Glinda,

I'm not sure you realized what sort of question you asked here for those who study the philosophy of time travel. I'll presume I go back to fix the mistake then return to present day. I fix mistake in timeline A. When I return, am I in timeline A? Will I have split timelines and am now am in timeline B where there is another me who made the different choice in A? If so, do I have to dispose of Neo A since there can be only one? Of course, it is likely Neo A will expecting me and be ready for battle.

---

Maybe only my consciousness goes back in time, so there is just one Neo. Let's say I return to A-modified. Will my brain suddenly flood with all the memories of my new life? Will I remember two timelines? What if no new memories come to me and I have to somehow figure out the revised Neo? My phone will likely be locked and I won't know the unlock code without new memories.

---

What if I come back to the present and am...dead...eeek!

---

And fixing multiple “mistakes?”
***passes out***

I'll just take the red door with the bag of cash and be on my way.

If you really want to learn, you have to stop using English. I was basically forced to abandon it; taking classes à la fac meant I couldn't take notes fast enough in English, so I had to use French and my listening and writing skills exploded. My host mother had folks over for dinner, and they'd practice their English while I practiced my French.
Maybe it's my self-esteem, but I'm not comfortable with saying I'm fluent. However, a few weeks ago, one of my exchange partners and I had a 30-40min discussion about political ideologies and philosophy. It was mostly in French. I stumbled here and there but I was amazed that I was able to participate in such an abstract conversation at all. Now I'm ok with saying that I "speak some French." :P
I found myself accidentally eaves dropping on people in a restaurant. They were t talking about anything particularly interesting, but I remember thinking how cool it was that I knew that this couple was going to a different town tomorrow and they had said it all in French.

My host mother had folks over for dinner, and they'd practice their English while I practiced my French. Interesting point. Yeah, I can definitely see myself faltering in that area, except for the most simple of jokes. It's a good way to look at it. I'm sure you don't need to hear it from me, but your English is really good by the way. I certainly wouldn't have guessed you weren't native.
As things are starting to click for me too, I see it, fluency, as my native language when I was like 10. I didn't know what so many ancillary words or specialized words were. I had to ask or look it up in a dictionary. Nor could i write an essay and sound educated. There is just so much polish we are able to put on our native language as we get older through education, reading, media, and just plain immersion around others. But being that way at that age didn't break my flow of conversation. And that to me is what fluency is...being fluid in being able to converse. Sometimes you hear something that makes you say "hmmm...what does that mean?" but you will get the context from the rest or just ignore it and move on. Instead of thinking, you are just doing.
A turning point for me is when I realized I could listen to the radio or watch some videos without missing (almost) anything. Also being able to speak naturally and understand others, as if it were your native language. When you can talk about the weather or have a great philosophical debate in the same conversation naturally!
