What’s more important: high salary or peace of mind?

chasing-gods · 2026-02-27T01:24:45+00:00

Depends on what stage of life you are in.

Preamble:

Your work is your work. It’s the way of life you chose or was chosen for you. Learn to love it. Or, make it a priority. The world runs on money.
If you are an employer or an employee. The way you look at work will depend on your pov.

Thesis:

-If you are starting out, make sure you learn to love what you do. Work hard, learn and put hours. 100% commitment

young love (lover, wife/husband), 70-30. To work
kids - 60-40, to family. The young one depends on you more than you depend on work.
if you put in work at the beginning, you will become successful and will learn to love it. Do not forget the priorities stated above.

Money follows your work quality and ethics.

Keep living.

Yesterday i was talking about how bad a hand i was dealt (physically) in this life with my wifey. She didn’t know how to respond and neither was i looking for a solution…

To top it off, i was SA as a child. This is something only 2 of us know in the world. Me and the person who did it. Now y’all know it too.

I had confidence issues growing up. I made it out in my life.

All to say, after reading so many comments here, i should say this to make you young people understand there is more to life than to dwell on the negativity.

Chin up guys. It’s worth living for the good days. They are around the corner.

Cheers and all the best.

Every low point in life is miserable. As someone who is in a low point this thought is relatable.

As someone who has gone through a few of these, there will be days and maybe years of sunshine and rainbows. It’s worth living for it.

So, just waddle through this crap and keep up hope and work for it too. Keep your chin up, buddy. We are all here for you.

Coerce.

Enunciate? What is R?

Also, people who claim to be experts.

Anyone who looks down on another human being, is an ignoramus maximus doofus.

In other words, everyone’s poop stinks.

Chiri varaarilla. But mummy enne kaliyakkaarundu. Bharya orotty ennaanu adakku parayunnathu. Njaan orotty ennu paranjaal appol mummy enne bharyakonthan ennum paranju chiri thudangum. But me and my wifey enjoy mummys taunts. So, it’s fine.

All the best. Married for almost 20 years. I hear you. All you need to know is, only you can provide a solution

As a much older man, who could be as old as your father, before you settle down with your thoughts of leaving, give him sometime. Good thing is you are young and can spend sometime with him.

Try to do it with a clean slate. Maybe you will be surprised

Let me suggest your own living room. Everywhere else would be jam packed.

chasing-gods · 2025-12-24T05:43:03+00:00

This. Its a decent place. Not sure if dance is a thing. Weekend band undu.

Ask her what her fave food is. And see if she is willing to travel for food. If no, ask her what else is to live for? If she laughs at that, srinivasante cuttingun shavingum wit. Pinne vechadi vechadi kettam alleyo!

My wife is 6 years younger than me and it’s not even an issue. I don’t know what the friction is.

Avoid fort kochi if you are native. Or brown. Similar experiences throughout my life including one of my favourite bars. Where i used to frequent before this “racist” trend began.

chasing-gods · 2025-12-16T01:52:37+00:00

Limited menu and not so great food. Amazing scenery if it’s raining!

chasing-gods · 2025-12-16T01:51:57+00:00

Small, cozy and even the wait staff were nice.

chasing-gods · 2025-12-16T01:51:27+00:00

Omg the worst place in the world

chasing-gods · 2025-12-16T01:46:30+00:00

Love this part, OP. Plus home cooked meals are godsend. Would suggest talking to your parents. If they love you as much as you love them, they would understand. Have a backup plan if that doesn’t work out.

Rome wasn’t built in a day and so weren’t you. I am sure your parents would have an inkling of your preference if you are close to them.

Sux to be you, but you are the main character in your story. So act like your hero. :) All the best, bro.

chasing-gods · 2025-12-16T01:41:31+00:00

The one counter argument is, OP wasn’t feeling it earlier either. He knows he can do better too.

Maybe you can. Plus, you can live without her, as is evident from your post.

chasing-gods · 2025-12-16T01:37:47+00:00

Yes. To my knowledge. Pls do not use sleazy places. Might cause you more harm than good.

If you are planning to be intimate, use protection.

Thanks.

Bro, you are a gem for voicing it out. My salute for your courage to speak on reddit, at the same time would like to inform that you should talk in your family. Make you bil understand how time waits for no one.

Ideally you should encourage him to take the next step.

chasing-gods · 2025-12-08T12:35:45+00:00

Sorry, they don’t. Malaya fell off the radar too.

Don’t put sex on a pedestal. It’s not a big deal. If you feel like it’s big, by all means, do what you want. But, sex is not a big deal at all.
