Quote from DT-waw:

hell, nothing is easy in life.
unless you're easy
Quite possibly the most simplest. impactful philisophical quote in the history of ET.
nothing in life is easy, unless you're easy. =Life is what we make it.
We decide our stressors and victories. EX: you are low on gas and pissed about pulling over on a hot day to pump gas, while pulling over you get a call from a freinds wife. Your buddy just had a heart attack at 40, you are all fucked up over that news. While pumping gas, a guy puts a .357 revolver in your face demanding your wallet and watch.
What has just happened in 15minutes. Priorities and stressers changed. Changed according to our definition. One priority was changed for another priority and for another.
Did the meaning and importance of any of the prior issues change??, (pumping gas, buddys heart attack, gun in your face)
NO they didnt!!, our value we gave to them adjusted, that is all !! So now, you got a pop-gun in your face, looking at 6 cylinders of hollow point slugs from a S&W, .357, how significant is the idea of you having to pullover to get gas, how fucking silly is that idea now, that just minutes ago made you upset......
See, so, next time you are bothered by something mundane, (which is probably often), just think about something real bad and how you arent experiencing that. Your life will be easy, you choose to make it easy.
Your welcome, saved you trips to the shrink and money spent.
my little contribution to causation and study of value settings.
