Most people think that being "nice" or unconfrontational, agreeable, etc., makes you a good person, but it doesn't. If you want to be a "good" person (not hurt others, create a good future for the next generation, etc.), you need to equally use your brain AND your heart. Smart, uncaring people can be just as harmful as ignorant/unwise people with positive hopes and good intentions. It's not enough to feel good or want to be good.

In this time and place critical thinking and a basic grasp of logic, language, and (social) psychology are essential. You don't need to be a psychologist or philosopher to do this, just start to educate yourself. Everything you learn is a building block to lift you from the darkness. This generation is way too easily offended, lacks critical thinking skills, and is offended rather than enlightened by constructive criticism, so we're up for grabs by the elites' social engineering.

@Drutter recently introduced me to clinical psychologist/professor Jordan Peterson. Many of his topics interest me so far, and you can learn a lot from his lectures, from generic tips for success all the way to advice for groups of people like men/women and young/old. His words of wisdom are refreshing, especially given the times. Things are getting really freaky in Canada with the rise of Islam and extreme left cultural Marxism. The two seem contradictory - in one ear, we're being told to embrace women's and gay rights, but in the other ear, to be tolerant of islam.

So, the next time you blindly follow the status quo thinking that you're doing good because you're so polite and accepting, remember...

You're a pushover

and you think that's good because you confuse harmlessness with morality!

"You're dangerous! You can't say no to people, and you'll go along with the crowd, and then when the crowd does something pathological which it's liable to do, you won't be able to resist it, you won't have the strength of character, and so then you'll fall prey to crowd pathology and it will be because you're too agreeable with a shadow resentful side". -Jordan Peterson

History repeats iteself unless we learn from it!

"There's something pathological about the enhancement of victimization. Looking at the discourse that preceedes genocide in a genocidal state and the enhancement of victimization on the part of one of the groups, usually the group that's going to commit the genocide - their sense of being victims is much heightened by the demagogues who are trying to stir up this sort of hatred. So, they are basically saying look you've been oppressed in a variety of ways and these are the people who did it, and they're not going to stop, and this time we're going to get them before they get us." -Jordan Peterson
