One should always be asking themselves: “Is this something that is, or is not, in my control?” You are allowing your own mind and heart to defeat you. It's a pity that education is so shallow these days. No one is taught proper logic, self-discipline, or even proper mental awareness. Classical education is nearly extinct now, in favor of the politically expedient, and because indoctrination is the new order of the day. /pol/ will never admit to it, but all of them are indoctrinated themselves and don't even realize it.
Everyone now goes through life being told what to think by various teachers and literature, but no one now is being taught HOW to think.
