| Are you being held back by a history you never chose? | |
| Can you see your life from the outside? | |
| Because if you can't see your life from the outside, you cannot empathize with someone who comes into your life. | |
| You must see your life from the outside, and that's what philosophy does, is it gives you objective moral standards by which to judge people because they're going to be judged with no history. | |
| Philosophy doesn't care that she's your mom. | |
| Philosophy doesn't care that he's your dad. | |
| It cares about the morality of the behavior. | |
| Your family is going to be judged by people coming into your life with no excuses from No excuses of growing up together. | |
| They are going to be judged objectively. | |
| So philosophy in having you judge your family has you Empathize with people coming in from the outside and how they're going to view your family. | |
| And if your family is great, wonderful. | |
| If your family has conformed with UPB, peaceful parenting, good morals, good values, or reasonable facsimiles and the goal there too, wonderful. | |
| Then people coming into your family are going to look and going to see, wow, what a plus. | |
| Great stuff. | |
| Beautiful. | |
| Can't wait for them to be grandparents to my kids. | |
| They've got really good advice. | |
| They really care about this person that I love. | |
| Because if you're going to ask someone to love you and you hang around with people who've hurt you, you're asking them to be a masochist, which they will not do. | |
| They won't. | |
| They'll leave. | |
| And they should. | |
| If you're going to say to someone, you've got to love me, and you've got to love me, and now let's go hang around with my family that puts me down and insults me and ignores me. | |
| Love me, love my family. | |
| Well, you can't love people and love those who've done them the most harm. | |
| You can't do it. | |
| it. | |
| In fact, you're going to kind of hate the people who've done them the most harm. | |
| Imagine there's some guy at a bar who beats the shit out of your girlfriend, and then someone says, "Well, you've got to love your girlfriend, and you've got to love the guy who beat the shit out of her." You've all got to become best friends. | |
| That makes no sense. | |
| You can't love people and love those who've done them the most harm. | |
| You can't. | |
| It's not even remotely possible. | |
| So if you're going to ask to be loved and then you're going to spend time with people who mistreat you and demand the other person integrate with the people who mistreat you, you're saying, hey, you know me, the person you love? | |
| I also want you to watch me get hurt, neglected, ignored, and abused, and put down and insulted. | |
| Doesn't that sound great? | |
| I want you to love the painting I made, and then I want you to love the people who pee on it and dissolve it. | |
| I want you to love the statue I made, and I want you to also love this beautiful statue I want you to love the people who take a baseball bat to it and smash it to bits. | |
| I want you to love health and disease equally. | |
| I want you to love truth and lies equally. | |
| I want you to love virtue and cowardice equally. | |
| Honesty and deception, directness and manipulation. | |
| I want you to love all of these things equally. | |
| That is demanding that they not exist. | |
| Embrace a contradiction and love opposites is to say, Don't exist. | |
| Don't have thoughts. | |
| Just obey and be a slave to the whim of the moment. | |
| Love me. | |
| Also, love the people who hate me. | |
| Love me. |
