    For people like me it takes massive amounts of CBT

    Read that as "CBD" first, which, you know, would still be valid, but your actual meaning makes more sense (and the overall comment is quite helpful, I think)

    And moreover it's not the way the world works - or else some of those would-be world rulers would have actually been successful by this point in time.

    Turns out Lenin's daily affirmations were only enough to net him a big country, and then his discipline slipped and that's how he had a stroke

      That helps too, but not as much as the THC that comes along with it faded

      But yes CBT is fairly effective imo as long as it isn't being approached like "The Secret" or used to mask negative external stimuli instead of actually dealing with them. I failed to appreciate many beautiful moments in my life because I wasn't ready to embrace them for what they were - it helps with stuff like that.

      What a fucking poser!
