I think the idea is don't let a shitty two minutes ruin your whole day.

You mean like the shitty two minutes it takes to read this thread and figure out you wasted your time?

Well, I'm glad for the explanation because it didn't make any sense to me.

Tatortodd,

In the future, just explain yourself initially. Without context, your thread and title are too vague. A vague thread title is enough for a lock.

Silly analogy. doesn't matter how much money i have, if someone steals $120 I'll put some effort into getting it back. Waste two minutes of my time and I'll just say asshole and move on.

So, I've wasted more than the 120 seconds reading the stupid post.... should I waste anymore? For sure not the rest of the day.

Let me take a stab at it. Just a guess, but....

There are 86,400 seconds in a 24 hour day. If someone stole 120 of those seconds, (2 minutes) would you waste the rest of the day worriying about it, or would you just move on and forget about the incident which lasted the initial 120 seconds?

(It's a popular metaphor among self-help podcasts these days. Don't ask me how I know that)

You're both correct.

Money symbolizes seconds. Every day there are 86,400 seconds, and every day that you have the blessing to wake up you essentially have 86,400 seconds in the bank.

Now, if somebody ruins/steals 2 minutes (120 seconds) or you have a bad 2 minutes out of an entire day do you let it ruin the rest of your day (the 86,280 seconds)?

I saw it today and it struck me. I'm a rehasher so if something negative happens it mentally gets replayed a dozen plus times. Essentially, I'm throwing away quite a few of the 86,280 seconds by mentally rehashing.


Since he guessed it right I think you owe him a P228

Shitty analogy. I think concurrently on more than one channel.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
