No soul, adventure or brutal honesty

#24> NEVER criticize, blame, or complain. (Constructive) Criticism is what advances our development as a species, not sure why that is a necessarily bad thing
when you criticise a person to convey your ideas, it doesn't change their minds.
criticizing the "stuff" is okay, this is how we advance, but not the "person"

#25Being old doesn't make you wise or particularly knowledgeable.
you are not wrong, but some things come with time because 99% of us are regular human beings who learn over time.
99 years old might not be wiser than couple of smart people, but their conclusion can be wise for other regular 30 years old hard working professionals who are losing their mind over their careers and never investing into personal relationships

And they're loving it, of course when they read stuff like "ignorant people are the loudest" they all feel like they're the knowledgeable quiet ones.

#27I wish the author a happy birthday. But - and I hope this is taken in a spirit of constructive kindness - the post is fairly generic and bland advice. I'm sure it is well meant, but I hope I never feel tempted to post something like this when I'm 72.

You can rationally understand what's being said but you're not attached to it.
"You will die, don't delve over negative moments too much."
You can read this but have no experience of knowing you will really die. You might rationally understand it, but you experience no change. Yet when you finally realize you will die, when you truly know it, you act from a different place.
"You will die." is very generic and bland yet truly knowing it can change everything.

#30Oh the good old elder’s wisdom, as useful as a fork in a soup as always, do not complain, do not criticise, what a wonderful dystopia
