but 'giving up' to our negative impulses helps nothing. Taoism and other legit faith patterns teach: 'When these negative thoughts come upon us, do not resist force with force. Simply turn to the side, deflect the negative energies and keep moving forward. Always keep moving forward.'

Happens so damn often. SSDD. same shit, different day. My life story.

But I knew it and did it anyway. Kept thinking maybe this time it would finally be different. Nope. Took him about 5 minutes (or at least it felt like it) to start the same shit again. NEVER AGAIN.
