I've been a very jealous person at times. I'm sure you have too. My biggest pet peeve is people gossiping or complaining about people that they are actually just jealous of. I try my best to notice when I'm acting like this. It's annoying and a waste of your brain. When you're jealous of someone it's because they possess something you don't have. So if I'm feeling jealous I ask myself what do they have that I want? And then I can just add that thing to my ever changing list of desires and detach it from that person.

Trying to let go of jealous energy as much as possible is something I believe has saved my life so far. You are great. No need to compete with your peers or even compare yourself to them. Everyone has such different things goin on in every way, and to base achievements or successes upon others can be very damaging. Rock with yourself please

whenever i find myself in these situations i remind myself that we are all subject to the same cycles of suffering, the same grasping and the same resistance to change. i can recall many times where i have been an annoyance or a negative person and it's usually due to an internal problem that i'm dealing with. i like to give people the benefit of the doubt and remember that their behavior is likely a result of their own suffering.... always reminding myself that the negativity of others is not mine to carry. i think that the western way of thinking (huge emphasis on self-centeredness, individuality, seeking for power) allows us to slip into this headspace, where you are upset with others for not doing things the way you would or simply doing things that disrupt our own activities, very easily. it's not necessarily your fault but more so how we've been conditioned... practicing compassion seems easy in theory but can be very hard in practice sometimes. providing yourself with gentle reminders about the truths of our silly little existence is the best way to counteract the irritation you feel at times. remind yourself that we are just little animals and that these feelings are just weather and it will pass.

I started watching this again recently after I found out my girlfriend thought it was a show (a la fear factor) where people try to survive in a shark tank. Last month I thought about starting a bath mat company after not being able to find a bath mat narrow enough to fit in my bathroom. Watching Shark Tank is a good reminder that just because I could start a bath mat company I probably don't want to.

Where else can you get a pot of tea and cake until 3 in the morning? Ugh, it’s awesome. They have a bunch of old chairs and artwork in there. When I’m in cafe Reggio I’m always like why isn’t every cafe like this? Why does every cafe look like a scandinavian wet dream? I want table service. I want coffee mugs. To go shouldn’t even be an option. To go where? You’re already here.

I can rarely explain why I like this video but I’ll try. At this point on the internet there’s a million hours of content that are more realized than this. Oddly satisfying Instagram accounts. Food pics. Made up games on tik tok. But Koki made this in 2006. We were still a few years off from the food pic and people weren’t really being stupid on the internet yet. They were being dumb and they were being idiots but stupidity is like simple and kinda smart and self-aware. The video reminds me of abstract geometric painting with the saturated colors and basic shapes of all the objects. Like I see it the same way I see a Kazmir Malevich or Wassily Kandisky painting. There's a lot of funny sounds too. It's not quite good enough for the "oddly satisfying" instagram standards of today. It’s more like 6 minutes of mundane hypnosis.
