Master Acting

It’s the best thing I ever did for my street photography. We’ve been acting since birth. With our parents, in school and social circles. Adapt to get the shot. Why start acting like a photographer on the street? Take on the role that gets you the shot. Acting like a pro photographer on the streetsContinue reading “Master Acting”

Our Belief Systems

Many of us hold beliefs and don’t know why. Challenging us with your unconventional ways will lead to unnecessary friction and many enemies. If you want to lead people, best to blend in and tell little lies and only discuss your true feelings when you gain enough power.

Extreme Views

I might be converted but the majority will be offended creating a legion of enemies. Better to keep it to yourself to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.

Better To Blend In

Than to openly discuss your unconventional ways. It shows us you look down on us for not sharing those ideas. Better to keep views to yourself and only discuss with close friends. When I was a vegan, I felt superior to you. It wasn’t about the diet or environmental causes. It was about competing withContinue reading “Better To Blend In”

Have You Experienced Real Adversity?

It’s hard to take much advice from people who have led cushy lives. The real person in you is displayed through hardship and experience. Is your advice given through a relatable lens or your utopian vision?

Struggles Are A Net Positive

I used to be addicted to drugs. I was a complete loser in my earlier days. I’m lucky I managed to escape prison. The only reason I avoided this was I somehow got the idea in my head that the military was good for me. And it worked. I can never be too upset aboutContinue reading “Struggles Are A Net Positive”

Better To Be Relaxed And Complacent Or Hyper Aware?

Which society is right for you? Do you want an easy going environment where life’s struggles are rarely displayed or where the struggles are publicized to the point where you can’t trust anyone around you.

Own Up

It’s almost always your fault. I could’ve avoided being spat on but my guard was momentarily down. It’s my fault for allowing it to happen and for letting it affect me the way it did. Next time I’ll be better prepared. Life requires contacts practice, same as your art or hobby. Amor Fati. Embrace andContinue reading “Own Up”
