Normies are scared of things that are hard.
Having lots of children? Hard.
Starting your own business? Hard.
Saving and investing? Hard.
Hodling bitcoin? Hard.
Thinking for yourself? Hard.
Working out? Hard.
Eating right? Hard.
Ironically by avoiding things that are “hard” they end up with the hardest lives.

The road to an easy life is filled with hard decisions. The road to a hard life is filled with easy decisions.
I'll need to chew on this one ...
Hard decisions feel so good afterwards. But really hard bevor.
This is so true
I tell my wife the same thing... if you know what I'm sayin'
I'll see my way out.

*Reading Bible everyday? Hard.
I need to be successful at all of these as they improve one’s quality of life. Thanks HODL.
4/7 ain’t bad is it
Exactly, everything requires our effort to achieve it, that is why we have to be strong to fight for our future.
Just say it: Life is hard. And that’s ok.
💯
Thank you @Humphrey - ₿itcoin Diary ⚡️
Agree with the sentiment, but question the objectivity of this list. Is having lots of children objectively good for all people? Should every one start their own business?
Does two children and a dog count for no,1 ?
No. That’s just table stakes. Need to up that. I’m saying that as a father of 2 with a dog also, but it’s true.
You are right.... If my wife and I were a touch younger....
What is it about modern culture that has pushed people to seek out life on easy mode?
Reliance on government, restriction by government, and proganda from government
Gentle parenting is a psyop to create weak men
“Easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life”
i mean yea. i run sin 3 he marathons. hard. i’m also 40 years old w the diet of a teenager. eating right? hard. can’t win ‘em all. life is hard homie. all of it.
LIfe is hard because of how we were raised, and the habits we form.
Once we accept a constant state of change, and you develop just one new habit at a time, life becomes easy once you have enough of the new habits internalized!
it's a vicious cycle.


6/7. Need to start a business but have no idea what I want.
Not everybody is cut out for being an entrepreneur. I do not think this is a must for everyone
This is so true!!! Not all of them maybe, but most of them.

The first one is random af 😭 throw that one outta there
What’s random about it?
Because you can avoid having lots of children and have an objectively easier life.
Is dying alone objectively easier?
What are you talking about…
Reality
You can have two kids, manage and not die alone. That’s just your preference, and your reality. You have a good one
Ah ok so you’re not against kids then, just lots of kids. I get it now.
@HODL holding, thinking, working out. These cost nothing. Anyone can do them if they chose to.
Having kids, eating right. These are not without cost. The things on your list are no all equal.
If you want specific examples;
I could not afford to have more kids and continue to live where I do. For me this is more than difficult it is untenable.
I have traveled to places where the options that people have are eat what is available or don’t eat.
I’m really only ever talking about Americans in my post
Seems like you’re prioritizing different things than what @HODL is suggesting.
See, they’re hard.
Fair.
But not everyone here is American and the world is much bigger than the USA.
On brand.
You could argue that this is true for me and children but not for what people eat. Eating ‘right’ vs not eating is not really a choice
*For a lot of people
I’ve lived in some terrible places. I understand what you’re saying. Poverty is real. Breaking out of poverty is hard.
Having lots of kids always came with sacrifices. Anyone fertile can have lots of kids, but not everyone will value lots of kids enough to sacrifice what’s required
None of these are hard if one has conviction.
try telling a normie that!
