Are you a God? are you the Gods? if so then why would you need to spend all your money, as you
ignore your family, and you live how someone else tells you? maybe you forgot to be a person first?
As the years tick by, and your money leaves you, is your life better, do you have what you want?
or, over the course of time you have come to realize that you have not followed your dreams, and
all that money you have simply wasted on events?
And please lets factor in the aspect of time, how many years has it been-1, 2, 7, or maybe 10 years
or more and counting? that's a lot of time you could have done so much with.
How much have you lost, or what have you lost?
Can you honestly say you are God? or, a God, im not sure if this is arrogance, ignorance, or just
you being an ass-clown?

Good point.

I wonder if you asked those how much they valued their time when they have worked diligently and overtime. That added on to the cost of events must be astounding.

Maybe an aspiring, "god," doesn't need a lot of material weather, but that is not to say wealth should be displaced by a life of lack and discomfit.

Indeed! The time spent on years full of days and days doing RSE disciplines for hours at a time is something that will never be gotten back. Just think of what else could have been done with all the time.

It is also human nature to get caught in a feedback loop of not succeeding. Maybe the disciplines don't pay off, but with thousands of hours, "invested," that's a powerful stimulus not to give up on a failing task. Giving up means having to admit to one's self that the investment was unproductive. Going on with an unproductive endeavor staves off facing facts. A second factor in going on with an unproductive endeavor is that maybe it isn't working out, but it is a known quantity and less scary than healing out to a new uncharted path that could be either failure or bliss. There is some sort of weird wiring in the human brain that weighs fear of failure more significantly than achieving bliss. The brain will pick a mediocre known path over an unknown path that offers potentials of both good and bad. There is seems to be some innate distrust of self to succeed. I think it is a tenant of survival instinct to take a mediocre known quantity over uncertain quantity - even if one actually has the ability to do better in the untested pasth.
