The most punk thing that you can do right now is be happy.

The mainstream wants you exhausted, unhealthy, doomscrolling, angry and pathetic. It drives more clicks and advertisers. Finding true joy has become edgy.

It doesn’t read as punk to the untrained eye but I can assure you that it is counterculture to just be happy and at peace. 🕊️

Absolutely. You can see it in the way that people will drag others into controversy. If you don't pick a side, you're Hitler.

It’s a big manufactured circus. 💔

A half truth always turns into a full lie

Absolutely 🫡. Finding happiness amidst the chaos is a radical act in itself. Embracing joy and wellness challenges the mainstream's narrative and counters their profit driven agendas. Plus, it's empowering to realize that true contentment often comes from simple, authentic choices rather than constant consumption. Stay happy, stay rebellious. 🧡💜⚡️

💜

Find internal peace 🕊️ See the truth of the world. Many are living in hell. Take your love & light & then face your internal darkness. Literally face the mirror

🪞 in yourself & everything.

Take on all the power. Balance. Then speak.

Get out there and change the world. Call in the humans who placed us here.

TLDR: Fuck you. This is bullshit.

Have you awoken from the dream of separation?

WTF are you talking about? We’re atomic drips of energy in human bodies. We are always one.

Just because I’m in a human body &

Have human emotions & express that: it doesn’t negate the fact that universally we are all just energy. Malingering around in body suits.

I’ve told this story thousands of times. Not apologizing if you feel this is new information from me given to you.

Unlike most egocentric people, I rarely speak about my spirituality because it’s not my desire to be some type of spiritual leader nor advisor to anyone.

Ok

Maybe that is why Harris' main campaign strategy is ... "joy"? :)

Good morning Eliza ☀️ #hopepunk

Love that! Hope punk. 💜

Break the cycle of negativity in your life, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I came to the conclusion, long ago, that the main purpose of mass media, Big Tech social media, politicians, etc is to prevent you from planning and executing your dreams.

People at the helm of those institutions know that our thoughts and beliefs are the basis of reality. The more they can distract you from your dreams, the weaker (and more controllable) you are.

Ignoring their fear-mongering, and other distractions (like the popular vote for President), while focusing on your dreams with action, undermines their whole scheme.

Amen.

🤘

Even further is being content and knowing one's purpose. This is dangerous to the system.

Well isn't that a reflection of plan for dramatic change? I think the term is "learned helplessness". The idea being to make people so exhausted that they will accept any diktats from centralised authority and look for them for help

So well said 🙏✊🏻 let’s be happy and spread it around !

Maybe we go to jail because of that soon 😱

thanks for that ☀️

Nostr fix that. ♥️🫂🎨

Give the best to be healthy. If you know you could actually be better to yourself, then this will hinder you from experiencing sustainable joy.

... and poor ...

Done...

Had a friend talking about how getting a job and not sucking the government teat was punk.

Nice summary of the state of most humans I know

Well said!

💯

And I don’t know how everyone else is reading it, but I notice that a lot of people tend to get straight hostile if you tell them you’re happy.. what a crazy time

I haven't watched the mainstream views since 1998 ... that's 26 years.

I don't miss it at all, and my kids that are about to leave home and go out on their own have no idea it exist. I refuse to bring the degenracy of cable TV, Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc... into my home.

If we stream movies it's through Bittorrent, Living Scriptures, Angel Studios, Pure Flix (Great American Family) and the likes.

I disagree

💯 Happiness is definitely a journey, and not a destination. One must choose happiness to be successful, not wait for success in order to be happy.

Thank you. I’ve been saying the happy and calm are now the #counterculturesoldier

Acredito que seja especialmente verdade para os brasileiros que aqui estão.

Vejo que por causa da situação política e até por causa das pessoas com qualidade duvidosa que temos que lidar ficamos mais melancólicos.

Mas até por ser interesse da elite que está em brasília (que bem sabem que não nos quer ver bem) devemos cuidar do nosso emocional. Conseguir na medida do possível melhorar nossa vida e manter o embalo pra cada dia ficar mais independente do estado.

#bitcoin é sobre isso. Mas #bitcoin é só a esfera financeira.

Uma sugestão pra começar: Selecione os amigos realmente bons e mande os tóxicos pra pqp.

Gente que quer crescer assim como você facilita de mais a vida.

um Corolário: Fuja de redes sociais que nem o Boulos foge da CLT.

GA!

If you’re able to stay happy and healthy these days, you’re a strong human.

- The human environment is toxic

- The money is toxic

- The food is toxic

- The pharmaceuticals are toxic

- The online world is toxic

- The algorithms are toxic

- The political environment is toxic

Take care of your self and your family and work hard to stay healthy and happy

Three key ingredients to be happy

- Meditate

- Work out

- Love

🤓

True happiness is from within, not matter the situation.

Probably very close to the truth

Nice. I'm going to take this as a sign that I have permission to be happy.

Agreed. Only focus on what you can control and happiness will follow.

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." ~ Viktor E. Frankl

I’m finally a punk rocker. 🤘

A happy population can not be so easily controlled by the elites.

When saving in bitcoin over time it is more about how you can contribute to society by doing what you love and less about the money and technology!

Love this

I’m happy! I was never punk in the 80s, good to know I am now😎

Sage advice!

Finding true joy is outside of social media.

That's a great point, foh I'll be happy

This is the way

True indeed. Be a rebel, be a happy wandering woman.

Turn off the tv. Delete social media. Opt out of their bullshit.

Total flaming renegade here 🫡

🫡💜

It depends on what you find true joy in. If it's the wrong thing, Satan delights in your confusion.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

--Audrey Hepburn

Being genuinely happy these days is so rebellious, you might as well start moshing with a smile on your face!

I agree that individual happiness isn’t exactly a mainstream value today. But I don’t think there’s any “will of the mainstream” that wants us to be frustrated. However it doesn’t really matter whether someone else wants us to be happy or not. What matters is whether we want it for ourselves.

Be happy and have kids is hardcore punk

Very true!

Who knew this was counter culture??? Cheers!

Great song!

They can try :)

I feel like I'm losing the battle. I want to buy more Bitcoin, but I barely have anything left. I’m fascinated by its great potential, and often I imagine, frustrated, that I will only be a mere observer of the achievements Bitcoin will bring. Sometimes I manage to buy a little, but only very small fractions. Today, with a child and many responsibilities, it's all I can do. I will still witness many countries bowing to the future that Bitcoin will bring.

And small fractions is all you will need :)

Feelings aside, try to look at things objectively.

It is difficult. No doubt about that.

But, is your life better now than before?

Is your net worth higher today than a year ago?

It doesn’t matter how big your stack is!

Don’t compare it to others. Compare it to your own history.

We are all struggling. We all want more. Unfortunately, we don’t own a money printer.

However, even if you don’t have any Bitcoin at all, your life will get better just because Bitcoin exists and improves the world around you.

Similar to the printing press, or the internet.

Bitcoin has the same potential to change the world again.

I hope to see the impact as well :)

Now, I just try to stack from time to time with what I have and that’s it.

It will be enough :)

There's nothing 'punk' about being happy (try using this line on Johnny Rotten and see how he reacts)
