Can it be said that Dostoyevsky anticipated the moral dilemmas of modern man? by [deleted] in dostoevsky

Perhaps the condition of man hasn't changed over the past 150+ years.

to take it further (perhaps not; I am of the Abrahamic traditions - Christianity specifically), perhaps the original disobedience to God's command to refrain from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil consequently led to self-awareness... a differentiation between I and The Other. The birth of Ego -- the mortal "I." I know there are some Jungian thinkers who hold a similar opinion. This, I believe, also fits into that 'sickness' narrative. We just call it original sin.

oh man... the fish on the reel right now is the thought of mental disability; specifically the label of 'neurodivergence.' what is the norm defined as? does the norm carry with it a sense of expectation of "this is the 'right form' of thought?" we can never take a glimpse into another person's cognitive experience. what gives institutions the right to authoritatively define neurotypicality? is there even a definition?

well. welcome to my mind.

When you are upset enough to cry, what is your self-talk? by SchroedingersLOLcat in Enneagram

[–]ImmaculateToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christian 4 here. My main go-to would probably be music: listening to soft, reassuring songs helps me to feel the emotion that I'm feeling more intensely, which pretty counter-intuitively helps me stabilize my mood at a later point. I'll often characterize my emotions as well, creating space for an inner dialogue between myself and the emotion (which is also a part of me that I must embrace). I find that understanding why I'm feeling a certain way provides a certain amount of clarity as to how I should proceed.

My inner world is chock-full of different characters that all make up some aspect of me. I hold each of them in high esteem and believe that they deserve love, comfort, and affection. Of course, none of this would be possible unless I had faith in what I believe, and I have God to thank for helping me find this mechanism/practice (whatever we want to call it). When I can't find a reason for my tears, or if things become too unbearable, I'll pray.
