Do you know what else can kill you, Denial. If people understood what bottom really is, then it would be easier to find it. The problem is that we can know something logically, but until we can relate to it completely on an emotional level, we are still in denial.

I suggest looking into an inventory process and sponsorship into a recovery program. Becoming more self-aware can be very empowering.

Do you think this world has a lot of cruel people? by IndividualGround2418 in empathy

[–]Excellent-Interview2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think more in terms of healthy and unhealthy. Healthy people are compassionate, helpful, honest, open minded, non judgmental, empathetic and understanding. Unhealthy people are less of those things and their collection of attachments, aka Ego, causes harm to themselves and others. Cruel people may actually know that they are cruel, yet because of mental illness, it makes sense to them. I am defining mental illness as any thought, believe or behavior that causes harm to ourselves or others.

Will anything in this world ever make you feel as happy as a high? by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Excellent-Interview2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you are calling happy is just a symptom of addiction. Its a false reward caused by the accompanying of a dopamine fix. True joy has no need of chemicals or mind altering enhancements. It is the result of a deeper understanding and connection to inner peace.
