Life Advice


Recommended Posts

The idea is everyone should try to be excellent to everyone, including themselves.

That isn't something fundamentally easy when no one has a consistent sense of what being "excellent" is. The universal term isn't followed by all, and the connotation is what is derived from that because everyone has a different way of looking at things. So, that is still sheet advice.

Well, you should. CowCow says so. Just do it, it is obviously that easy to have a sense of excellence for yourself.

Yes he should, obviously he should. It's not a negative thing at all.

I never said it was easy and it's pretty ignorant of you to imply that I did, especially given how very clear I've been about my own turmoil.

 

You're getting way too...idk, bothered by something and I'm not even sure what.

It is implied because of the idea being that of action, and not resolve. "Be" is already forced upon people, without any build up or lead to, already putting in position the idea of it being easy and a no-step possibility. I also don't follow people's turmoils, so that has no foundation for my own implication of said work. It is sheet advice, and that is what I am worked up about; Giving sheet advice. That should be pretty clear as I already established that opinion, repeatedly.

It has practical sense. I don't see why it wouldn't.

*sighs* fine I'll try and explain. It's not practical because that is far too much thought put into the word "be". There's little reason to get hung up on that. Even before the context that is expanded on (Such as me saying of course it's not easy and that it's "try" ). And there's no implication that it's easy. It's not necessary to explain that it's a state that must be worked towards, especially as it is a quote from a movie. The statement is simply the end goal statement. If someone tells you to do a certain task they don't say it with the implication you will get to the end right away.

Also it's not practical to get worked up about, in your opinion, s*** advice. Given that if people really thought what you said I implied they wouldn't follow it.

I didn't put too much thought into the word "be". I used it to define my confrontation with the advice. Just saying the word advice means that it isn't an end goal, but the passage to an end goal. There are many reasons to state why this isn't even efficient, and using "be" was the best way, in my eyes, to do so due to relevancy to the advice given. The implication of it being "easy" is that there is vague understanding of how to be excellent, leading up to the idea that there doesn't need to be. If it wasn't easy to do this, then why even establish it as life advice? Establish it as something different, because it would be a goal to reach and not a term used to settle people into a proper life. Also, if you tell someone to do a certain task but don't tell them how to do that task, they'll figure it out for themselves or ask how to do it. But you're comparing a goal to a life expectancy, which is sizeable and would be more exaggerated.

 

Why is it not practical to get worked up over sheet advice? Just giving it out is a bad idea, even if people don't follow it. Unless you're ultimate goal is to sheet post anyways. Then, I am get worked up over nothing for no proper reason.

Well I mean I guess take it up with the movie writers? But idk I think being excellent towards one another is a pretty darn good thing to do in life. As long as you include yourself. Yeah it's tough but doesn't mean it's not worth doing right?

 

 

good god this thread got deep somehow. Are we sure we're in Misc?

Movie writers of a comedy? They know what they were doing and that is why they did it. Being excellent toward others is too vague and unresponsive. Being humane to others is much more suitable. You don't need to be excellent at or for anything, or even to anyone and it doesn't help enough to do that. Being a genuine person should be people's goals if anything. And honest with that in mind for yourself to revel in, so that you don't lose the idea of why you're doing it. Unless you like putting up facades.
