How Nofab is different from Brahmacharya?

When you are practicing self-control and ways to improve your life you might have wondered why my life is at the pit in the first place? Then the answer is, not taking the ownership of your life. Doing things whenever you feel like it. Here comes the answer: SELF-CONTROL

Whether you are practicing nofab or brahmacharya, I want to congratulate you for stepping into things that are good for you and your health. So what is the difference?

In simple words nofab is step 1 on the level of self-control and brahmacharya is level 10.

Lets dive deep into this terms to understand each on better.

Nofab

Any man or woman practicing nofab will stay away from sexual activities and control there urge for any kind of sexual activities with the help of there inner will only, that is tough I would say.

In order to stay pure they will seek online advice and find some mentor to guide them. Eventually they will find out that they have to keep themselves engaged into something to burn there energy otherwise it would be directed downwards that towards loosing there vitality.

The main goal while performing nofab is to keep yourself away from sexual activities, anything other than sexual is allowed I would say.

Brahamacharya

Brahamacharya is much more than just controlling the sexual urge and living a restraint life.

Anything you experience in this life time comes to you through your senses. Your eyes let you see, your ears let you hear, your nose let you smell, your skin let you touch, your tongue let you taste.

All this time while you are awake you are constantly making choices what to see, hear, taste, touch and smell.

Something that you choose to see, hear, taste, touch and smell might give you pleasure.

Abstinence from seeing, hearing, tasting, touch and smelling things that give you pleasure is brahmacharya.

For example,

You see a beautiful woman or man somewhere and you feel like your heart is at peace and dissolving as you see this woman/man, you might want see that person again. STOP! Here just by looking at a beautiful woman/man you feel pleasure. Stoping yourself right there at the first time you saw that man/woman is brahmacharya.

Your friend invited you at a party for some good reason may be your friend is getting married and you wish good for him/her they found the one. Now comes the best part about the party THE FOOD. Everything is so delicious that you want to eat it all. You taste some dish and you liked it and you are having it, your mind tells you its enough now just stop eating then the second thought comes its your friend's marriage he/she is not getting married daily lets eat a little more STOP! here just eating as much you need and keeping the taste aside is brahmacharya.

This goes same for all your senses. Not being a slave to pleasure is Brahmacharya.

You are not indulging in pleasure while you are having sex just for pleasure but you are indulging in pleasure everytime you over do things just for pleasure.

Overcoming these animalistic behaviour is brahmacharya. In simple words abstinenace from pleasure of anykind is brahmacharya.

Movie Review : I want to eat your pancreas

Yesterday, I saw this movie " I want to eat your pancreas" . In the beginning of this movie I thought it would be something interesting as this movie's name is a bit different and it stands out to make you think about it or what this movie is about. At last it made me emotional. I am writing review for this movie because the male protagonist is quite similar to me and some scenes touched me. It made me think and rethink about my perception and the way I operate around people. The story is about a girl 'Sakura' who is going to die and in those last days of her life, she wants to do things in her bucket list. And while completing things in her bucket list, Haruki (the male protagonist) learn things about his life. That, Why is he Antisocial and doesn't has any friends.

Disappointed man Address your feelings, analyse why you have this feelings? Ofcourse because you are human and humans do have feelings. When it comes to others there is always a good reason why you feel someway about someone? How you've been treated by the other person everytime you had an encounter with that person? Why you feel there is a connection? Yes!

The Freedom of Existing: Simple Life Rules from the Movie Hoppers

The Freedom of Existing: Simple Life Rules from the Movie Hoppers I recently saw this movie called Hoppers , and there’s one character who really touched me: the KING Beaver and his pond rules. They’re simple, but they make living easier for all the other animals in his kingdom which is basically just a pond :). I’m dropping the pond rules below, along with what I understood about my own life and what I think about them. The Pond Rules by King Beaver Rule 1: Don’t Be a Stranger He says you should know everyone here and their names. He introduced literally more than 10-20 animals, and it was hilarious the way he did it, introducing all these creatures to the newbie beaver, who was actually a human in a beaver robot with human consciousness wired into it, kind of like the Avatar movie. When I look at life around me and the people in it, I realize this is something I’ve totally overlooked or ignored. I basically don’t introduce myself or interact much with people. In my head I’m...

When Humor Hurts: The Truth About Put-Down Jokes

We’ve all been there: someone makes a biting comment about your appearance, your job, or your latest mistake. When the room laughs and you feel that slight sting, they’re quick to follow up with: "I’m just kidding! Don’t be so sensitive." This is put-down humor (or aggressive humor). While it’s often dismissed as a way of bonding or "keeping people humble," it usually carries a hidden price tag. 1. It Creates a "Culture of Defense" When put-downs become the primary way a group interacts, everyone starts living on high alert. Instead of feeling safe to share ideas or be vulnerable, people spend their mental energy crafting shields. The Result: Innovation and genuine connection die because everyone is too busy making sure they aren't the next target. 2. The "Just Kidding" Gaslight The phrase "I’m just kidding" is often used as a get-out-of-jail-free card for saying something mean. It invalidates the victim’s feelings. It shifts the ...

Power of SIN: Never Underestimate the Gravity of Temptation

In today’s fast-paced world, no matter where you live—be it America, the UK, or India—people are inundated with a constant stream of information, entertainment, and opinions. Our phones and screens are always within reach, delivering a never-ending flow of content that seems thoughtful, logical, and even righteous. Yet, beneath this polished surface lies a troubling message that quietly shapes how we think about human relationships: that anything goes. This message is both dangerous and deceptive. It erodes the foundations of respect, commitment, and emotional depth that relationships need to thrive. Across cultures and continents, the traditional role of a man has always been clear—to fix things. Not to fix people or control others, but to be a steady, reliable force that solves problems and supports those around him. However, in today’s media-driven world, men are often portrayed as driven by lust or selfish desires, while women are depicted in limited or idealized ways. This imbalan...

Your routine is changed recently and you are in a new environment that is new to you. We are people of habits and actions.

Work-Life Boundaries this Anime character can teach

If you are dealing with a manipulator—whether it’s a toxic boss, a draining family member, or an ex—you have likely realized that logic does not work. You cannot "reason" someone into respecting you if they benefit from disrespecting you. Nanami Kento from Jujutsu Kaisen is the blueprint for this. He doesn’t argue with chaos; he creates a system that contains it. To protect your peace, you must stop trying to change them and start changing your environment . 1. The Rule of Ownership: If You Take the Blame, You Make the Rules Before you can set boundaries, you need the right mindset. Most people try to control you because they are insecure. They want you to do things their way so they feel safe. Here is the truth: In the real world, if a project fails, the blame usually falls on one person. If you are that person, you must be the one in charge. Don't let others project their fears onto you. If you are responsible for the result, you get to choose the method. Being firm ...
