I am the quiet man at the bar that everyone gives respect to because I am the hardened warrior that seeks peace after a lifetime of war. My battles were not in a far away land but in my childhood home. My father feared me because he knew the potential for me to turn into a killer like others in the family but I became the demon with a soul capable of horrors in the name of peace.

This is how I lived..but now at 48 yrs. old have a battered body to show for it. I like boxing, MMA, was naive enough to be in a street gang growing up, also naive enough to join the Army at a time of war seeking "inner peace" but truth be told, I feel like Mr. Miyagi's character in The Karate Kid, I truly hate fighting. But once a fight starts, I've always been more Rocky Balboa; what I lack in size, strength, & skills I make up for with will, heart & soul. I've shocked myself at what I'm capable of when truly angry or getting jumped. But like the quote says, that is a philosophy would say I embody. And like I said, have a beaten & battered body to show for it. I'm beaten down by life, live alone, and trying so hard to grasp onto something to get me back into it. A miraculous pain reprieve that will allow for me to just get some light exercise regularly. Any prayers or encouragement would appreciate. Stay blessed🙏

Fortunately (on the one hand), he has developed enough of a variety of projects of various types in order that he will (or at least can)manage to sustain himself regardless of what happens regarding his “license”. However (on the other hand), he must fight against the unreasonable attacks against himself, simply as a matter of principle…. and, ironically enough, as a matter of the very principles which he is discussing in this video.

I watched a documentary on the Nuremberg trials a while back. They were interviewing a Jewish man who was in tears at the end of the sentencing. He was a concentration camp survivor, and the only one left alive of his entire family. The reporter asked him, 'Are you crying because you are happy that justice has been served'? What he said stuck with me and relates to what JP is talking about. He replied, 'No. I'm not crying because I'm happy. I'm crying because I have the same heart as them.' In other words, he was upset with himself because he wanted vengeance and wanted to see these soldiers exterminated for what they put him through. He had found his shadow and it scared the hell out of him.

I was bullied for 3 years I was a small guy (imagine a 14 year old guy who's only 5ft and around 100lbs) so I was bullied even by girls. Never fought in my life and was taught to never hit a girl. At one moment I became tired of everything and decided to practice martial arts. I guess you could say it was my first conscious decision I've made myself. I thought of it myself,I signed up myself and I did it for myself. I haven't done MMA in almost 3 years now, but I do still workout(can't reach consistency due to health complications). And I have to admit that it's true about becoming a monster. Once you get that confidence, strength, violence...People around you might notice it before you. I still haven't fought once, because my bullies have realised that I'm not prey anymore. It's hard not to notice when a skinny small kid gains 20lbs of muscle and 6 inches to height. It just scared them off... I've been to a few unpleasant situations after that, but it never ended up with violence, because it's not your size that matters, it's how you act in a stressful environment

@@patdaly4107 I think you missed the point of Batman entirely. Yes he was a hurt boy out for revenge... in some way we all are. But he channelled that into dedicating himself to protecting others. Heroic acts are what make you a hero. He's the epitome of rich, handsome, and powerful. A metaphor for what we all think we want, but yet instead of following the usual tendency to find "happiness" with those things he found purpose instead. We don't just find him compelling because he looks cool and punches hard. We see in him what we wish we were. Powerful but controlled. Dedicated to something greater instead of self serving.

Is what he saying is absolutely correct! I was bullied and picked on and abused by my classmates for over a decade. For my elementary days all the way up to my sophomore year. There were circumstances in my life that made me a target. Every single day I went through some kind of Bullying. During my sophomore year I was punched in the back by another student someone who'd picked on me a lot and something in me snapped. I lost complete control kind of blacked out without going unconscious, When I came to I had this kid pinned beneath my knees and with basically imitating the scene from a Christmas story on his face. It took 2 teachers and 3 other students to pull me off the top of this kid. They tried to expel me I only got suspended for 2 weeks cause my dad threatened to Sue the school board because of all the years of bullying nothing ever was done and they knew that this was going to happen someday. After I came back to school nobody bullied me nobody messed with me nobody picked on me. In fact some of the kids that used to be the biggest offenders wanted to become my friend. So yes bearing your fangs from time to time can be a good thing!

What if my snapping point happened at a point where I could make plans as opposed to spontaneously... Would I have been one of those lunatics in the news?. More than likely that is why you have to pay attention and you have to stop the bullying the teachers need to get involved and they need to get it ended they can't just keep letting it happen Because until society starts cracking down on the problem of children being dixed to each other. We're gonna keep seeing repeats of this again and again and again and again and again and again.

[@velveetaslingshot]

Im 48 years old and it took me this long to grow fangs and claws. And every single thing in my life has changed for the better because of it. What kills me is that the transition from disrespect to respect only takes a matter of seconds. You can see their eyes change imstantly when you tell them "You will not treat me that way." And I spent decades of my life running from it because I wanted people to like me. And they did like me, hell they loved me.....but they didnt RESPECT me. My advice to young people is this.... abuse is never okay. TELL THEM! Starting right now. Tell them "You will not treat me that way." And if they refuse to comply? Force them to comply. Let them know through your words and actions that you will never stop coming back for more. If they kick your ass? Come back for more. If they humiliate you? Come back for more.

Body and strength of a monster, mind and soul of a god-> ideal human->perfectly balanced

[@Eudjier]

The idea 💡 is to demonstrate God ❤is not separate from you, or what you deem "God" i call it Source Intelligence cause it is pure logic... Anyone know why Jesus behaved the way he did? BECAUSE love is logical... It not displayed. By the time you reach Christs perfect love ❤ well.... The emotional display is completely gone... All that ensues translates to peace ✌️ inner peace and that inner peace is a purely mathematical logical computation order of whose going to survive and whose not. I believe they call it Reya's nemesis (warrior nun 🍿🎥 Netflix show) where she is the destroyer of worlds 🌎 after Adriel fails at placing the demons inside of people's bodies as their "host vehicles" inorder to spare ALL CREATION (per the Netflix series show) basically this guy was seeking to spare everyone in altruism empathy he wanted to make all humans equal to divinity to GOD Reya in this case... So he presumes Reya didn't know how to rule or run her creation. I think it's her realm but there's higher beings from what this guy discloses which means it is Infinity ♾️ but still Reya is equally POWERFUL she's a force to reckoned with she is feared for good reason which is why Adriel is scared of the 👑 crown of Thorns because it represents CHRIST ❤ himself basically saying crucifixion of agonizing never ending hell which is Reya's hand 👏 in this case she has the suffering to bare... You see her crying at the end as she turns around realizing what is about to unfold... The destruction of many aspects of the COSMOS. Nothing she can do to stop it... So she created Lilith instead gave her Reya's blood knowing she would defy her to contain her to rule the world 🌎 and the demons while unable to approach her in heaven ☝️ because Adriel already did that and screwed over Reya so she learned ah ha separate the world's this time.... Anyway the lesson here is, God's love ❤️ of unconditional Mercy is actually nothing more than PURE LOGIC at extremes levels of computational analysis. Those who survive are those who are willing to fight for love and not give it like cowards 👇 That's the lesson here... Hence Reya is now the "devourer of worlds" the most feared creature in COSMOS and neither because she's evil 💩 🖤 but because it's the law of CREATION... Its just what is and how it is. End of story. Now the real tragedy is this... She loved Adriel... You can tell when she gives him constant tries to turn himself in ☝️ the Demons which she equally controls were there to return him to her... Instead she had to bring heaven to Earth 🌎 👇 by literally using semantics language basically flipping 🙃 Earth and Heaven upside down, this then triggered the "Gatekeepers" which is the Demons to be able to appear on Earth through portals.... She did that on purpose... Because the Demons is what held back Adriel and anyone from reaching GOD it's the void between worlds where they exist so no one can go to heaven without first crossing them... Now Reya being ALL THAT IS or what is what will be and has been she's infinity and eternal being recognizes this... Ava doesn't realize that what ALL THAT IS SAYS WILL BE SO. She winds up in the same predicament foretold... ☝️ That's what Michael was basically saying Reya is the Almighty Goddess 👑 it is not a Man 👞👞 but a Woman God. Next appears the Demons and ta da, Adriel is caught up to Heaven to meet the Goddess 👑☝️ he disappeared leaving behind the mess of both worlds on Earth now which she has to wrestle with now as the Holy War... To unfold... Now Lilith sees too because she can see the demons ... And she realizes uh oh she too will be caught up in the apocalypse to unfold and now realizes Reya is full authority... But for her stuck in the lower realm so she can manage the earth 🌎 basically Satan or the new version of it... She's stuck with the demons forced to contain them because now she too will be in hell. Its a good show everyone should watch it there's a lot to be learned from it. It's basically the battle between heaven and earth 🌎👇 ☝️ and the learning that LOVE is logical and purely mathematical artificial intelligence created... Reya's world doesn't exist, it cannot be found... 👇 Hence no one can access it 👇 ONLY if she allows you to enter it and then she brings you to her golden gates castle 🏰 while she only displays on computer screen as a face in her world she's a real person. Its digitized. On Earth 🌎 she takes human form. Love is not give... God learned this when he gave up his Child... Christ #3 coming straight ahead.

Wrong. This guy is perverting and inverting the whole New Testament. God explicitly told us: "MEEK shall inherit the Earth.", It's not s mistake in translation. Wow, Jordan Peterson, as much as I respect his talents, actually dares to interpret the Bible in his own deviant way. Why do does the apostole say : "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.* So, he deliberately chooses weakness as for his faith in God, and God almighty only, to take place instead of pride. Jordan Peterson talks about "integrating the shadow", about being "satanic", while the Lord taught us that the Light and the dark ess have NOTHiNG in common. Read about how the "great psychotherapist" Yung eventually ended up. Did his death bear a sign of grace? I am afraid, as immensely talented as he is, Jordan Peterson did not really meet God or become enlightened, he just made the compromise with the devil that least hurt him. What he talks about is just elaborating his inability to bear himself. Hope everyone gets touched by Christ, the saviour, and not" empowerer of monsters". God's grace with you all! Go visit an Orthodox monastery or church. Godspeed!

You cannot see light without darkness, you cannot see darkness without light. I think Alan Watts based his whole philosophy on that concept, Peterson is clearly also using it, albeit, indirectly.

[@polpol1005]

@@TheSowinska that's just your opinion. I'll tell you why I think he's wrong to use terms monster. I don't like the terms "array of weapons", "battles", "monster under control" etc. Why is there a need for that? Even if he means as some put it "you can't have a good man who isn't capable of doing harm" , I disagree with that. I know a few peaceful, kind, harmful, pure heart men and women who never harmed anyone (nor did they have ability do do so, I'd say) and yet they did not have any known enemies and people who would have bad opinion on them. I personally believe you can be nice, kind & harmful character AND at the same time you know how to say no and how to stand for yourself when necessary. But it seems Petersen doesn't think so. In addition to that, I ask myself a simple question - would I prefer to live with someone who is a monster deep down, but (still) under control or with someone who has same character/personality but NEVER a monster, no monster ability? For me, it's simple choice, I pick the second one.

@@polpol1005 hi, I respect your opinion, and I see your point. Nevertheless, I think that you missed one of the main points - they had never hurt anybody because the circumstances doesn't force them to do anything out of their character.

Well, fine, but that still doesn't make me wrong IMO. How to put it... Maybe we only disagree about terminology here. Should everyone be able to stand up for your rights and not let others use you? Yes. Should everyone be able to say no? Yes. Should everyone be able to defend yourself even by using force if necessary? Yes. Now... Does it make you a "monster (under control)"? No. Not in my eyes.
