Take a deep breath and think about it

I value my unhappiness. I've always thought the monk nirvana "be happy sitting cross legged on the floor thinking nothing all day for the rest of your life" ideal is selfish and almost worthless. I have ambitions, and if I was just happy with the present I'd have little reason to pursue them.

People are ragging on the AI art, but the message is also bland pseudo-mystic instagram-motivational word spew. Many religions and philosophies teach things like this, but even real quotes are reduced to pithy candy aphorisms when taken out of context like this.
Like it definitely is trying to riff on the genre of Zen Pencils.
And funny enough, that Thoreau quote is more in line with global views on happiness: the pursuit of it is in some ways the root of it's nonexistence. When we focus on making a better and simpler world for all, happiness often follows.

it's amazing how that isn't even what tipped me off, it just vaguely looks like AI, which is a tad strange for such a simple style
I did suspect it, but what confirmed was the not-really-crossed legs. I do not think anyone would draw that this way. The fingers are also weird. Humans would draw them too straigtt rather than too wavy.

I wasn't being pedantic; I was being facetious.
I said you were a pendant, not that you were being pedantic. It's technically speaking to your nature, not your actions.

Yeah, always seemed so wrong that so many people just stagnate. Like they reach some imaginary milestone and just stop improving and float through life. There's room to improve almost everything in life, why the heck would you settle?

Oh... so what you're saying is that it isn't quite as simple as the picture makes it out to be..?
It is that simple but it isn't easy. It's like finding enlightenment from Buddhist parables. They don't all click the same for everyone. Once they click, it can seem obvious, but before that, they can seem meaningless, trite, or misleading.
From my pov, the image is accurate but not the clearest. It can only get you part of the way and only if it resonates with you. It doesn't surprise me that it generates cynicism similar to the "gee thanks, I'm cured" responses to mental health advice.

I think maybe you're trying to be a jerk, but you keep calling them a pendant... Which is literally, not technically, a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain worn around the neck.

So I'm a piece of jewelry? š¤Ø

Unless the definition has changed over the years, a shitpost is just something that took little to no effort. All genAI posts are therefore shitposts.
absolutely not, the best shitposts are genuine works of art and take tons of effort

That was a typo. I was busy dealing with a hole in my house so I didn't double check my wording. I'm hoping that you have the reading comprehension to understand I meant pedant. I understand that, as a pedant, you replied to this to subtly point out my error.

It was a typo. I don't really care for pedants who come in swinging with their nit-picking, so I'm not too inclined to give them pleasantries they aren't willing to give others.
