lifting weights will never make you happier

Doch

It makes me happier for about 15 minutes every time I do it

>>40770357
WRONG

>>40770357

being a faggot on the internet wont either but here you are

It does, though. Maybe when I finally make it and hit the end of the road, I'll feel less happy. But then I'll just find something else to live by.

My days were miserable when I was injured because I couldn't feel the pump and watch my body grow.

Eases the pain knowing I am becoming something while she remains the same

Marcus took stoicism seriously, which few can do in this day and age. Accepting "fate" or whatever the fuck you call it and relying only on peace of mind by ignoring all pleasures is retarded, imo.

A good life is centered around balance of all things.

>>40770539
this is a misunderstanding of stoicism. the basic idea of stoicism is that the attitude inside is more fundamental than the circumstances around. you can control how you think and react about things, and mastering that control is the most helpful method for practicing good living.

Well yeah, that's what I found to be the most sound advice on Marcus' meditations, but I cannot be happy by just wanting to. Life, as I see it, is a balance between the external things you cling on to and your judgment on those things from within. You use those things instead of being ruled by them.

Also, all of this is nice and pretty, but hard to put into practice.

>but I cannot be happy by just wanting to
bet you can fag.

>>40770617
So, at the limit, I'd just work a souless job, eat shit food and play games all day because hey, I can be happy anyway. I don't need lifting.

The need for improvement keeps me moving.

>>40770357
It's helped me stop getting shitfaced every other day so even if it doesn't help with the depression at least I'm not killing myself anymore

Now I have to stop being a neet

If you were to move in with a friend/rentor would you be more apt to leave the house? or would you only ever go to the gym still

Lies, i squat atleast 4 times a week and when i cant for some reason my quality of life decreases significantly.

>>40770357

how come it has made me significantly happier?

>>40770778
I live with two friends already, I've been a neet for three years. They've tried to motivate me a bunch of times but it never worked, probably because of the depression. Now I'm trying to snap out of it but there's only two ways, up or down and going from my track record I'm not hopeful. But at least I'll look better

fug, I', shopping for a house and am thinking about renting a room out to a borderline neet buddy.
we're both borderline neet so I was hoping it would help push us out of the house

>>40770846
Well I guess it can work if you're both in it together. Both my friends are studying and one of them is working too, I'm sure things would be different if they were neets as well. Easier to relate and motivate each other

It makes me happier.
