  • I recently asked a friend of mine something similar and i will add it here for the sake of discussion.

    We need to fulfill our basic needs in order to be happy and content with life. There are 3 basic/main categories:

    1: bodily needs: better diet, exercise etc.

    2: mental needs: intellectual conversation/pondering, reading/writing a book, even playing some video games etc.

    3: spiritual needs: religion/hope for a better time and better place

    I would also add one more,

    4: social needs: spending time with friends and family, doing something for the community, relationships and dating etc.

    Since my friend and I are religious, 3 makes sense on its own. But you might need to think about what it means to you. Imo the most important part is having hope.

    Personally for me, its 1 and 4 that i struggle the most with. And in the end, its okay to be wrong and try different things and formulas to find what works best for you.

    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! You live and you learn!





  • You can control the weather to some degree and governments do, do it. Its just the word ‘control’ implies significant amount of control when in reality it is very minor.

    Often these conspiracies are rooted in actual facts, just that facts get distorted insanely. Even if one person in the chain made a mistake, everyone else after them will also make the same mistake.

    (Just an article on could seeding if anyone is interested )











  • Nope, you’re thinking of taliban. But there is a new ISIS (ISIS-k for khorasan) now who is actually an enemy of taliban (part of afghanistan comes under khorasan and ISIS-k claims that they should rule it.

    Both are classified as terrorist groups but the key difference is Taliban focuses more inwards while ISIS is globally terroristic. Like that threat in taylor swift concert was ISIS.

    Historically talibans have always wanted to rule their own country while ISIS has wanted to rule over the whole world by creating a caliphate and sticking to a very extremist version of islam.

    If I’m not wrong, the whole conflict with Taliban started when US asked them to hand over Osama bin laden, afghan people said no because he was their guest and culturally afghanis go to extreme lengths in their hospitality (like they take offense if you don’t eat in their house, or in this case, they would fight with their life to protect their guest) so basically US declared war on afghanistan and talibans (early freedom fighters) were formed. But over the years they have become much more terroristy (is it even a word?) and violent, such as their attacks in Pakistan for supporting US and so on.

    Morally talibans are slightly better than ISIS.
