Oddbean new post about login | logout If you want someone to fail and not achieve their goals, do you want their failure out of revenge or simply because you're no longer part of that person's life? #Asknostr
Why waste your energy on wanting someone to fail at all? Why want it in a first place? If they are doing harm, then I would actively try to prevent them if it’s in my power to do so.
I ask this question because I see people focused on the failure of others, and I want to know where this desire comes from. Personally, it comes from impulsive instincts for revenge if someone has hurt me. Soo I want to know the sincere feelings of other people.
I think I know what you are talking about. Don’t pay attention to mindless propaganda and politics, the world is full of it. There is no conscious thought in it, majority just trying to fit in and parrot after others. The minority that promotes it, are the ones with the agenda and probably some stake in the game. 🫡
Emmm well this post has nothing to do with politics
I use the word “politics” in general meaning, not the government one
I have on a couple of occasions encountered someone out of my life still harbouring a grudge (usually work-related). They get extra mad when they realise I have already forgotten them and barely remember them even when reminded. What can I say? Rent in my headspace is very exclusive, the world has too many _actually_ _interesting_ things...
