Truth Seeking
Certainly there is no such thing as ultimate truths, but it seems that our attempt to seek *some* interesting personal truths (which can be applied to a sub-section of society) is very interesting and important!

WHY SEEK YOUR EQUALS?
And if you cannot seek your own equals or find your equals, just go at it alone, and find your equals as you go along!

Strength Respects Strength
Thought:
With us men, there seems to be some sort of male hierarchy based on physical strength.
For example at the gym, the question is:
Can you deadlift over 4 plates? Can you squat over 3 plates? Can you bench over 2 plates?
This seems to be the very basic bar in terms of strength. Either you are above it, or under it.
If you are over it, you become part of this elite club. If you cannot, you are just another ‘rando’ (random) individual who is just sort of a hobbyist.

Gym as a Zen Temple
Gym as a great zen temple. Also a great place to socialize, meet new folks, shoot the shit, walk around in big areas when you’re trapped at home all day, and getting a great gym pump.

The worst feeling is the feeling that you got nothing further left to aspire to
In other words:
Limits are bad.
The feeling like not having heavier weights to attempt a 1-rep max. In powerlifting, it’s always the thought of increasing your one-rep max even further is what makes it fun. If your gym had a limitation on the maximum weight, it would lack all interest! All records are there to entice us to try to break them!

On Making Reversible Decisions
In life, a thought:
Don’t make irreversible decisions.
Strive to only make decisions which are short term and not permanent. Decisions which can be reversed are best!

Like Yourself
Before attempting or achieving anything in life, the most important thing:
Like yourself above all others!
In other words, position yourself in a way in which you would not trade spots with any other human being on the planet!

Light Sensitivity
I’m very sensitive to light. I love natural light (especially I prefer homes with a lot of natural light, and huuuge floor to ceiling Windows). In fact I’ve realized, if I could optimize for just one thing in a home, it is having maximal light.
A thought:
