I’m convinced that reading a bunch of spiritual literature can cause as much psychological damage as it can do good.
Imagine a person who became very convinced he has to live life in a certain way but constantly fails to do so. He can only say to himself so many times that he’s “on a journey” or that “failures are just lessons” before he snaps.
It’s no better than watching motivational TokToks when you’re down.
