Been thinking about the skills that are needed to survive the world. There are formulas that keep coming from various sources that talk about - 5 skills you need to survive, 10 skills to be successful, etc. To some extent, they are not wrong. But still, nobody can guarantee survival only with those, unless you have this full pack of skills for survival. What's that pack. Obviously, it's not a finite list of skills.
If you observe animals, do you think they suffer life as much as we - the humans - do? I don't think so. Their lives are far more difficult than ours and full of uncertainty. But do they die of heart attacks as much as we do? They do have heart diseases of various types, but mostly biological. Whereas, our diseases mostly link to our thoughts and mind.
Then what is different in our thoughts and their thoughts is what answers the pack of skills for survival. Yes, animals are not as conscious as us. But they do have feelings. The only difference seems that of how they take those. They do feel, but the feelings are feelings and do not affect the body. Whereas, our mindset is such that, we transport the pressure, the feelings to the chemical system of the body, and affect it adversely.
We need to look at the world we live just like animals. Actually, we are animals. We have built the corporations and society around us with the purpose of a better life. But unfortunately better life divided unequally to some. Don't know whether they also have a better life. Somehow the systems that we have put up are eating us. Be careful. Think like an animal. This is the jungle. Survive.
