I think it's worth it to be ok with everyone being a little bit in the same boat of wanting to self-help, then becoming enamored with buddhist ideas, then grappling with everyday being just another human. In whatever order.
I'm sure you mean well but just kinda irked me that you immediately put in the effort to "nope can't relate"
I see time and time again that posts insinuate that there's no other point of view, and I think that highlighting one perspective is enough to show that this (as in the article) isn't some mathematically perfect piece of advice.
In part that's because I see the message of the post way too often and I haven't seen my message around that much. It's just to counterbalance it. I don't think the message of the post is wrong per se, but to me it comes across as such a strong statement of "this is how it is" that I want to say equally strong back (as one vote of the general public) "nope, can't relate, here is briefly why"
Frankly, even superior. Too many people frame own feelings and individual experiences and general universal or even rational truths.
and then goes on to superior-ily talk about selflessness.
When you frame "talking about own feeling and experiences as arrogamt, because it does not pretend generality, you are being wrong. Nothing in what I said implies superiority complex or arrogance.
And frankly, your twist is fairly manipulative sleazy bullshit.
