Episode 35: Resentment Comes From Lies | K.G.I. Podcast

I was thinking a lot about why some people become so resentful, why they become so hateful. In this episode I walk through the mechanism — how comfort makes us take everything for granted, how taking-for-granted produces a slow degradation into biological surrender, how surrender to your own urges makes you hateful toward those who try to become better, why action defines a man rather than words, why you live trapped inside your own skull and have to learn to truthfully face yourself, why resentment comes from lies and disappears the moment you stop lying to yourself, how the internet creates hybrid subjective experiences that you confuse for your own, the Russian saying about two men looking at the world through the bars of their own prison — one seeing stars, the other seeing dirt, and why reading books that help you understand the world through yourself is the practice that makes the objective reality of the outside less threatening. The closer: your subjective experience should be an extension of you, not of other people.My book Mythos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2ZN1TKMy Blog https://kirillkhrestinin.com
