Every few days OP makes an "insightful" post about sticking to BR, only playing when he is in a good spot mentally and physically, or adjusting his lifestyle to one that is better suited for what he is trying to do.
Meanwhile, he ignores or actively argues when given this exact feedback in this thread.
He is young and surely a bit immature. No offense, OP, we were all there.
However, I am constantly amazed how difficult it is for people to recognize their deficiencies when they are clearly laid out for them through well thought out posts and examples.
Being formerly in the field of psychology i was exposed to Jung and really enjoyed reading Joseph Campbell in my 20s. There are motifs and archetypes that repeat themselves again and again. If a person is able to see themselves falling into these patterns of life it is easier to find a way to break out and reverse it.
Time and again people can be warned and shown these patterns but not actually see themselves in them. The Heroes Journey has not been fully understood by the masses. We tend to get stuck on being a Hero but fail to recognize that we are not that special. We are all on a path. A Hero stumbles and falls. A Hero should also look at the failures and pitfalls highlighted around them to avoid inevitable mistakes.
That being said, I still feel like I'm being trolled. Maybe this is just the universe trolling me/us. I think that happens too.
