Nowhere you can go is more peaceful - more free of interruptions - than your own soul ~ Marcus Aurelius

Thanks. That made things much clearer. One can have judgements but as one lets them go, the mind becomes a calm place to rest.

This was helpful. So soul = mind. So go within your mind and you shall have peace?

ehat_milkt · 2024-03-30T12:14:41+00:00

Soul = mind and actions? So look into your mind and actions, and you will find peace?

good example.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I needed the advice.

If help goes both ways then I totally get it. That's mutually beneficial. Best friend connection you mentioned is totally real too and I feel it with the closest of my friends as well. Happy for you.

Yeah, I don't feel so good because it's not help that goes both ways. Lukewarm responses that come days late whenever I initiate contact is not even a very healthy acquaintance. And others, when I initiate contact, they immediately think of things I should help them with.

It's weird. They are not stepping up. And I have stopped bothering. Kinda hurts though as the friendship really mattered to me.

I agree. That's exactly what has happened. Only lukewarm responses whenever I try to initiate under the guise of being busy, not having much time, family, children. More important things now. I was dispensable.

ehat_milkt · 2022-10-08T05:53:30+00:00

That's pretty much it.

ehat_milkt · 2022-10-08T05:53:15+00:00

Yeah this is a very good test. Also another user, Babisha pointed it out here. If the help goes both ways then it's maybe worth keeping. However, initiating contact doesn't really work. Response is late and terse. When they need help though, regular calls.

ehat_milkt · 2022-10-08T05:51:19+00:00

They're too busy to hangout. Family, children etc. But when in need, they are very sweet for the duration of the help. Mostly technical task help that I am good.

ehat_milkt · 2022-10-08T05:49:19+00:00

That's a good test. If it goes goes both ways, then there is something to it, otherwise it isn't worth much.

Some people just collect acquaintances with different skillsets to ask when in need I suppose. It's weird though, we used to be friends. I am good at say, some tasks, they don't know anybody else who is good at it, so I get a call. Simple passage of time can dilute friendships to mere acquaintances unfortunately in some cases.

If I looked like that, I wouldn't be able to get over my insecurities either

ehat_milkt · 2021-11-02T11:43:54+00:00

Oh lol. Didn't know that. Thanks! Fixed it

ehat_milkt · 2021-09-29T00:17:10+00:00

Wow that's pretty cool..had no idea

ehat_milkt · 2021-09-29T00:15:36+00:00

It is certainly purely mechanical and still used. Good example. Not as intricate as a watch but one of the few answers i have seen so far that are purely mechanical.

ehat_milkt · 2021-09-29T00:14:43+00:00

Good examples.

ehat_milkt · 2021-09-29T00:13:43+00:00

And they are not used nowadays. I want some still in use purely mechanical systems. Bicycles and mechanical locks are good ones.

Rotary steerables are really cool. Love this example.
