People still go through harsh and harsh conditions, yet we only experience 0.001% of what they experience, and we give up and we say, oh no, but PMO is going to overpower me. And so I'm here to challenge this notion that you're weak-willed, that no, you can't say no to PMO, you can't quit PMO, then adapt to a life without PMO. All of this is just you believing in this narrative that was pushed around by Yes, There Will Be a Cure ideology, the mainstream media. But you don't have to believe in that anymore. You start taking what we call ownership, and that's only going to be used to your advantage. You probably live in somewhat very good living conditions, so that means you can not only remove those vices from your life pretty easy and effortlessly— and it's not me saying that you're not struggling, it's just me saying that you can quit these and it doesn't have to be effortful, it can be, as the book says, effortless— but just don't make yourself weaker.
