Let's make our own truisms, a la Jenny Holzer

Conceptual artist Jenny Holzer made her list of "truisms" in the late 1970s/1980s. Some highlights:

-Men are not monogamous by nature

-Murder has its sexual side

-Children are the cruelest of all

-Everyone's work is equally important

Let's make our own list of truisms.

Marriages aren't supposed to last (humans tend to grow and evolve in other directions than their spouses).

We create our own toxic environment.

We are too eager to follow trends.

There is no honor or prize in winning the title "(insert group of people or a single person as yourself) suffers the most".

R24 I know this, and yet...

Sorry to veer OT but I must know—is there an effective mild drug or a supplement which one can use to kill sugar cravings? I can abstain 80% of the time, but my cravings are literally raging out of control when I’m premenstrual. Sadly I can’t smoke as R10 advises as I’m highly asthmatic.

Diets don't work

[quote] Diets don't work

Actually, that's not true. They do work as a short term solution to change your eating habits for a while if you follow them. However, what trips people up is their own agenda, their motivation, or self-sabotage.

If you try to lose weight to get your peers' attention and approval that may work for a short while, but your peers will lose interest in you and will move on while you're "stuck" sacrificing so much for them which leads to you either going back to your old eating habits (out of spite or declaring defeat) or you try move towards more extreme measures to get your peers' attention and approval.

Diets work when you a) want to change for yourself and b) when you see a diet as a starting point for changing your eating habits and burning calories' regimen (work-out, for example) permanently.

Any man who would marry a woman today deserves what he gets.
