Reply to Anyone who’s read “12 rules for life” by JBP finds it so harsh and unforgiving? by newbalancewearer
What i wrote about "This is water" :-
"Wittgenstein’s ruler: Unless you have confidence in the ruler’s reliability, if you use a ruler to measure a table you may also be using the table to measure the ruler.
It feels like extremely revolting to read life advice-ish texts from people who suffered to the point they executed themselves"
JP is extreme.
His daughter ruined her stable marriage to be with numero uno toxic 2022 andrew tate.
He himself was addicted to drugs.
Everything he says should not be heard for would you trust his words?
BUT, his extreme nature has produced USEFUL material for the masses. As a way to self correct his behaviour or his daughter or any other projection aside, idk.
Read, try to look for useful practical advice and move on... His tone can be infectious or annoying equally but that's to be expected

>Yet somehow people from this subcontinent still get along with the British
anecdote but as a 20 something Indian,
nation view has been of increasing wealth. This wasn't the case pre 90s before borders were opened up for privatisation. So plunder of British times although witnessed directly through school trips to jallian wala bagh etc did feel horrifying, it's day to day effects "felt" mitigated & reversed already (far from the truth, no one knows where we'd be but hypotheticals). Besides, there's neighbours like Pak/China to actively hate in the present whom we have witnessed perform terror in our lifetime.
Parent's case is more pronounced, the deep rooted hatred is visible in conversation also with sadness & anger towards some of India's 1900s leaders who didn't optimize for country's well being over their short term pockets, agendas etc. They've gone through tougher times still reeling from aftereffects

>But downvoting my words only serve to keep these issues under the rug
cool story, now what have you done personally to help SOLVE the issue instead of merely absorbing it?
