You should give away your fortune to poor ppl then.
Why would that make jack superior to his former self ?? And why do you think thay fiat money is the only measure of value ??
But look how that ended.... nostr:nevent1qqsxqqywzee0xzprwrcjmgzz3ez773md4dsp0pjrt6xeuavdy60zk8gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyzprg8ug9dh2hnft5lc7ly92m9su7p6279deaaz2p8ua928ml0n2yqcyqqqqqqg2gwfms

Jack, this quote is a great response to my question about how you can stay humble at all times. nostr:note1h2kzk6ml604x37k9h5xyvanj2qa2e3r9q49fhe8fxzuccxuf8r3swk3wy9
Superiority and inferiority only lives in the mind.
Self is just a thought.
I got one, too. https://m.primal.net/HmNx.jpg

Ever tried being humble to your former self?!
How would you describe your former self and how would you describe yourself now?!
Wise words. Humans have a natural tendency to compare constantly to others. It’s a big mistake to feel superior to others, Hemingway was completely right. It took me years to realize this and stop doing it.
Is there a religion where you worship your future self as a god. Any thing not in service of bringing worth this god version of yourself is punishable in some fashion by future you. Almost like a Roko's basilisk but you are the basilisk and the chances of you existing in the future are high #grownostr #growself nostr:note1vqqgu9nj7vyzxu839ksy9rj9aarkm2mqz7ryxh5dne6c6f579vwsz90hyw
Too bad he took his own life
Be proud of the efforts you have made and where you have climbed on the mountain. Then reach down and help someone else achieve their own greatness.

Beautifully said. 🫂
I love Hemingway. Seems everything he wrote is profound.
Its amazing he was balls drunk most of the time.
Is there mobility is censoring your fellow man and manipulating elections while working for the CIA?

Those things are not mutually exclusive. Some of my fellow humans are sadly severely corrupted. There is nobility in avoiding their folly. nostr:nevent1qqsxqqywzee0xzprwrcjmgzz3ez773md4dsp0pjrt6xeuavdy60zk8gpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzpq35r7yzkm4te5460u00jz4djcw0qa90zku7739qn7wj4ralhe4zqvzqqqqqqy3t0jjc

That's a great distinction. The ancient iChing does use that phrase quite a bit and I like to interpret it as Superior form of self within, the version of self realization, of higher self mastery, that is noble, honorable and integritous. You've striked me as humble @jack which in the world of ego driven sociopathic leadership is vastly Superior.
