I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. 2019 has been a year of many changes for me, but mostly by way of consolidting everything I’ve been learning to reshape my own mind. From the outside it would look like the rest of the decade, 2009-2018, was way more eventful. Starting in 2009 I graduated college, got a job, went to grad school, quit grad school, got a dog and a cat, bought a house, got married, got into hiking and yoga and meditation, and read the Sequences and lots of other things.
As for advice—I would try to convey the importance of self-acceptance and self-compassion, and the fact that it’s really, really unhealthy mentally to believe that a virtuous person cannot value his own life and well-being above that of anyone else, at least if that person is human and living on Earth in the current time. I would provide a long reading recommendation list, though honestly I don’t know if any of what I said could efficiently bridge the inferential gap between me and him.
