A Replacement Behavior

Men,

To develop as a young man, you don’t need much.

But you’re deprived of it anyway,

And led to destructive behaviors.

Here is one of them

“Staying informed”

Everyone around you pushes for you to watch the news, to know what’s happening all over the world.

They want you to be aware of all the terrible things you should care about.

That’s very destructive behavior.

Being informed about your surroundings is important, but trying to care about so many things is just not possible.

It has been proven that a human can only care for about 30-50 people.

After that, he can only generalize.

So doing this will just stress you out, because the news makes sure of it.

They know that to get your attention, they need to make you afraid.

Here is a new behavior I advise you to replace it with:

Reading.

You still inform yourself about the way the world works,

You can learn new skills,

But also entertain yourself with interesting stories.

You don’t need to overcomplicate it.

That’s about it for the day.
