This.
I've been big on Zen and inner peace for most of my own life (mostly out of necessity, trying desperately to cope with a shitty living situation, shitty social life, and daily suicidal thoughts) till a few years ago.
Thing is, reaching inner peace is just like any other "goal" in life, you obtain it, then you think to yourself "do I stay here or do I keep moving forward?"
Because of my inner peace I can approach women with little to no AA, and can even turn off my emotions vampire diaries style, focus on "joy" and blissfully walk through life like a retard.
Is that a good thing? I do not think so.
And it actually is BECAUSE of my belief in Zen that I see things this way.
Zen teaches that birds fly while fish swim. It teaches us that being something is being it, and that a fish cannot be a bird because it is a fish, and vice versa. Fish are not birds because they do not fly (flying fish might be birds tho ).
BEHAVIOR and RESULTS are a DIRECT REFLECTION of what you ARE BEING!
Which means, if you have inner peace but no friends, no job, no women, you're NOT an alpha.
An alpha is an alpha, and a beta is a beta, and a hater is a hater.

This, again. Totally agree.
