The stupidity of competition || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2013)

Listener: Life is a race and it is a competitive fast going generation. If you do not become a part of the race then you will lag behind and will have to face the consequences.

Speaker: What are the consequences?

Listener: Sir, if we do not compete with the rest of the students then we will not get a proper job.

Speaker: Then what will happen?

Listener: In jobs we will not get status.

Speaker: Then what will happen?

Listener: Sir, I will have dissatisfaction.

Speaker: So, ultimately you are saying that you will be dissatisfied. But you are anyway dissatisfied right now. What has competition given you so far? You are dissatisfied right now.

How to survive pain || Neem Candies

1min98reads44

I had to unlearn a lot of things, and I am grateful to all the sources—the books, the people and the experiences that helped me unlearn. And I am grateful to that within me that had the courage to unlearn. A lot of unlearning is needed. I often say you need to learn love. By that what I mean is that you need to unlearn false love. And it’s one mighty task to unlearn false love, transactional love, the transactional love that both biology and society teach you.
