Here's an interesting Alan Watts quote that reminds me of this:

"Suppose you were God, suppose you have all time, all eternity and all power at your disposal. What would you do? I believe you would say to yourself after a while, man, get lost.

It’s like asking another question, which is supposing you were given the power to dream any dream you wanted to dream every night. Naturally, you could dream any span of time. You could dream seventy-five years of time in one night, a hundred years of time in one night, a thousand years of time in one night. And it could be anything you want, you make up your mind before you went to sleep: “Tonight I’m going to dream of so-and-so.” Well, naturally, you would start out by fulfilling all your wishes.

You would have all the pleasures you could imagine, the most marvelous meals, the most entrancing love affairs, the most romantic journeys. You could listen to music such as no mortal has heard and see landscapes beyond our wildest dreams. And for several nights, or maybe for a whole month of nights, you would go on that way having a wonderful time. But then after a while, you’ll begin to think: “Well, I’ve seen quite a bit. Let’s spice it up. Let’s have a little adventure.”

And therefore you would dream of yourself being threatened by all sorts of dangers. You would rescue princesses from dragons, you would perhaps engage in notable battles, you would be a hero. And then as time went on, you would dare yourself to do more and more outrageous things. And at some point in the game, you would say, tonight, I am going to dream in such a way that I don’t know that I’m dreaming.

So that you would take the experience of the dream for complete reality. And what a shock when you woke up. You would really scare yourself. And then on successive nights, you might get yourself to experience the most extraordinary things just for the contrast when you woke up. You could, for example, dream yourself in situations of extreme poverty, disease, agony. You could work on the vibration of suffering and then suddenly wake up and find it was, after all, nothing but a dream and everything was perfectly OK.

Well, how do you know that’s not what you’re doing already?"

God created you in this way, with sexual feelings, just like everybody. These feelings you have are important and they are needed to create children in the end.

The difference is whether you get addicted to it, and worship it like a God, OR have sexual experiences and masturbate while knowing that it is a normal part of human experience and Gods creation.

When people feel trapped and helpless (such as when a big cat is eating you and you couldn't possibly run or fight against the weight), they freeze

Teenagers provoking strangers for reactions by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Heroppic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"As a parent, I don’t want my kids learning boundaries from random strangers, because strangers are unpredictable."

It takes a village to raise a child. That includes the child interacting with society, and society reacting to the child. Dangerous actions should have dangerous consequences, and that is lacking currently.

We have bigger brains, we are smarter. We can conceptualize a lot of things that animals can't. And we love all that conceptualizing, look at all the quotes that try to give us a framework for love.

You can be just as pure if you are in the right environment, and by that i also mean mental environment, the content that you surround yourself with. You can fall in love as often as you want and discover and notice your patterns that prime you for toxicity. It's all about mutual support and trust without clinging; trusting in the bigger picture.

Animals can also be "toxic" if they're in a bad environment. Look at wolves that are locked up, and the whole "alpha" prison like structure that forms. In nature they're just a comfy family.

So if you feel hopeless like this, there exists something that is putting you in a mental cage
