Unless you develop compassion for yourself and others it is unlikely you will even see 30 years of age

Why?

Because first of all compassion for oneself and others is the very hallmark of civilization itself.

Without compassion for yourself and others you likely will be paranoid and be vulnerable to conspiracty theories no matter what political point of view you have. Because there are just as many left and center conspiracy theories as there are rightest conspiracy theories. It's just that rightests with conspiracy theories are both paranoid and usually have weapons like Timothy McVeigh who killed 168 Americans in Oklahoma in the 1990s after the Waco disaster in Texas.

So, there are just as many leftest crazies as there are middle of the road and rightest crazies who are all paranoid in various different ways. It's just that rightest extremists tend to have guns and hand grenades and bombs more than all the rest for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why this is but it has always been this way.

So, if you are afraid of yourself and afraid and paranoid of others your longevity is questionable at each and every stage of life and even living to 30 isn't for sure.

So, a good way to start is by making friends with yourself and having compassion for yourself and through that developing compassion for others so you can stop being paranoid and self deluded about so many things.

For example, I believed in the saying "Don't Trust ANYONE over 30" years old UNTIL I was 29 years old and then I thought to myself: "You mean just because I'm turning 30 soon I cannot trust myself?"

This is ridiculous!

So, I had to grow up which is what everyone has to do who makes it past 30 years old to 40, 50, 60, 70 and beyond.

Besides, at the time I was a single father and had to raise my son right!

Raising my son likely kept me alive through my 20s and 30s the most because I couldn't afford to be selfish anymore and raise my son to adulthood too.

My son is now 46 years old and has a bachelor of Science Degree and is married with a son. For me, taking care of others helped keep me alive so that I could be married and raise my children.

But, of course, everyone is different in this.

But, taking care of others definitely worked for me.

But, if I was alone I likely would be dead now instead.

But, this is just me. Everyone is different.
