There's being guarded and there's being hyper-vigilant. There's a difference.
TRIGGER: HIDE TRIGGERING TEXT.
The way some ppl would see doing retribution on a supposed ne'er-do-well a public service, I can see one reason why revenge can be appealing. On an individual scale it can "feel that way" with emotions; sate the emotions by doing a "public service for them" (.i.e. an action) in with a vindictive volition behind it.
I can see now why deontological notions like "duty" would be fine with an apparent "justification"/entailment of revenge at times.

The word "opportunity" has long been hijacked by persons who behave with an exploitative nature (see the word "opportunistic") and it's one reason why the sound of word has an "unappealing flavor" to me. Saying "to your benefit" or "doing a favor" have different tones. However the Alfred North Whitehead saying "There is no certainty only opportunity" still does not exempt the idea of volition which is good and is not regarding as to whether said volition does "good" or "bad".
If you can't be certain of the "final cause" ,of how the links between the properties or attributes of a thing observed between an instant of emergence and what it perpetuates afterwards bundle up into a condition where the is no longer (~"relevant" at least) change <---purpose
what remains is an experience; a "space" to take action so to speak (an opportunity).
The element of agency,"self-directed" so to speak isn't wiped out,it seems.
.."[opportunities] for what?”

Not "taking a taste of your own medicine", the one your offering, might lead you to being called a hypocrite.

I have this fear that inside of me is a self-righteous attitude which will give others trouble. With my argumentative,problematic and aggressive attitude, I've yet to find anyone who can "hold to par" with me on that.
Or maybe it's just reflective of how very little I interact with ppl =_= .
Not everything is philosophy.

I have this feeling that if you stick to "f perspective" (ex. that everything resonates with r system or perspective like say "always being logical" or some kind of linguistic style like say "always sounding manly") very devotedly and are usually opinionated on how a,b, and c are like qualities of/have resemblance to what f might happen to be, is something akin to literalism. Your not letting yourself operate/""roll with" something unless it's quasi-justified by or associated in some way with f.Your not yielding to the flexibility of things meaning something else without it "being a lie" and your behavior might always be following only f as a result.
Fear can be like this as well. Fear's generative outcomes can be like this as well and be one reason why a person can "end up being stuck" for so long being afraid of something. It's not an issue of "being a rationalist*",or even "being rational" I'd say as much as it is an issue of being mindful and not exaggerating or ignoring certain aspects.
*although you could go that way,imo many a ppl think it entails following the path of being something of an ideologue for when it comes to rationalism.

As far as math fields I'd actually like to venture into...three which stick most in my mind are (mathematical) logic, geometry and probability. I think it'd be really neat to be a geometer and develop geomtery analogies for whatever math fields I go around which I think would be *very* helpful to high schoolers since geometry is in a sense as close to "objects" (although really we're talking about spatial properties here) as you can get in math and I'd think it'd help keep things feeling "grounded" and "concrete" in spite of how complicated and overwhelming things can get. That and a very great grasp on algebra so that me and no one else like a high schooler no lo0nger gets there a--- kicked around by what's ussually (talking about "elementary algebra" here only not the fields of linear and abstract algebra).
Geometry seems like one of the more "intuitive" sedgeways to the philosophy of math, a contrast to how logic and to some extent probability have their reputations to sedgeways in that way.

My old thought of not having much sympathy for person who couldn't pick out what they'd like to be during all the years of non-post-secondary school has diminished. Although I think that at the very least you should be able to pick out an *area* of study you'd like to get into after post-secondary.
With me it's turned out to be an issue of work *environment* oddly enough.

Something I just heard from a video by Hank Green: it's sad to see bad ppl succeed and it's sad to see them fail as well.

Anxiety is finitude experienced as one's own finitude,experienced as one's own finitude...anxiety has no object, or rather, in a paradoxical phrase, it's object is the negation of every object...participation,struggle, and love with respect to it are impossible. He who is in anxiety is, insofar as it is mere anxiety, delivered to it without help..It expresse itself in loss of direction, inadequate reactions, lack of "intentionality" (the being related to meaningful contents of knowledge or will). The reason for this sometimes striking behavior is the lack of an object on which the subject (in the state of anxiety) can concentrate. The only object is the threat itself, but not the source of the threat, because the source of the threat is "nothingness".

Dawning message on me-Just b/c school doesn't work out for you doesn't mean you can't be knowledgeable. There's more to life than being a student and school.

Liar paradox "This sentence is false." This is the canonical self-referential paradox. Also "Is the answer to this question no?", and "I'm lying.”

If my emotions were ppl I could imagine them as something of a tribe and when they get skeptical or wary about something they'd talk in a way with a lot of implication until it reaches "anger" who'd absorb it the most and actually engage in the issue."
