Hey, im an 18yo living life, looking for a mentor, but it has been a bit rough, so I decided instead to ask a more specific question to cast a wider net.

What questions do you need to ask yourself to understand what something is? For example -- if today i was gonna do something and needed to figure out if it was fundamentally worth it, I will ask myself, what is it? and what is the cost?

These questions are okay but I still feel like im lacking questions for further discernment. Are there any thought exercises, mind tricks, further questions, that i could use to more fundamentally understand concepts, objects, traditions, patterns -- to navigate day-to-day in such an ever-deeply complicating world?

Thank you :)
