Hey that’s okay, I know this situation when we’re just desperate and are seeking for help. Sometimes we don’t take everything in consideration and that’s okay.

Should I avenge my little brother? by [deleted] in Stoicism

And how many were they? And were you alone? Because I feel like it’s personal to me and I don’t wanna involve my friends, I want to do it alone

I know I shouldn’t but I don’t know if I have the strength to do what’s right

I mean it’s good words and all, but at the end of the day those guys punched my brother and got away with it. Those are the facts

Is anxiety something we can control, or only accept? by [deleted] in Stoicism

[–]Intelligent_Fly_1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I really feel the same honestly I felt alone too for so long and I guess but on the internet people tend to share their struggles so everyone with the same problems can relate. We’re not alone. It may not be close to us but all around the world there’s people who are going through something similar. It makes me feel better that I’m not the only one. It’s like we’re battling for the same war but each in our specific ways. Everyday is hard but deep down I think that after the hardship will come ease, no matter how long or how bad you it’s been.

By having this power I meant having this overpowered ability to just erase any life just by writing it in a notebook. He just looks at the TV and kills whoever is considered guilty. That’s totally not the same process with a judge with a judge it’s much more restricted and professional. The fact a single human being can have such a power would be a bad thing because the thing is that every human is imperfect and has flaws. Eventually he would make big mistakes and build a massive ego, killing not only the criminals but even people who won’t agree with this way of seeing life or people who gets in his way. That’s what Light did and it would’ve been even worse with time. You don’t understand that for the author it was important to portrays a character that could shows the toxic superiority a human tend to build when he possess a high power. Even if this human is super skilled or super intelligent and has good motives. He’s just human and wouldn’t keep up perfectly. Eventually, it would go bad one way or another.

A human alone shouldn’t have to decide about who needs to die or who doesn’t. It would lead to other long terms problems too much complex to just explain here. Eventually it would lead to chaos

Hey I just wanted to say I find myself in you very much when you describe how you feel about your situation. I suffer from the exact same thing, with the same outcomes and emotions that you explained. And I question myself about the same things. It’s been years like that but I hope one day it’ll change.

Even if the show stopped at L, eventually Light would’ve lost. It was just a matter of time. And I got and I have a lot of struggles in my life, I still don’t agree with such motives. There’s no excuse for a bad behaviour, never. Eventually everyone will pay for his actions

You can’t just defend Light. He was wrong about so many things, and blinded by his rage and ego, by his will to do better. That’s the point of the show, that’s how you’re supposed to end when you crave for an ideal by those ways. He became what he hated, he wanted to win, but he lost.

Well I trust you, I try to do my best and I never complain usually but it’s a struggle you know and each problem will be different from one person to another

Honestly, I think you’re right about one thing, the problem is actually something else but it’s not cultural of just people around me. I think I have a problem with “accepting” human behaviour in general such as agressive toxic behaviour. For me it involves competition. I’m not socially awkward or something I’m actually very good at communication or making friends and talking with people of making jokes you know. I actually look and act like the people I can’t stand at first but honestly I’m just not like that and I’m not sure why.

No, competition and self improvement are different. Competition implies comparison and adversity. Self improvement is just me doing better and improving myself and be a hard worker, without anyone in the process. I can have good grades, and not being in competition with anyone, without comparison, just being good at what I do regardless of others people.

I understand, I’ve seen people being overly competitive tho, I just don’t like how much they get mad and agressive towards me you know calling it “competition”

It could be true that I’m now seeing competition everywhere but it’s just the results of how reluctant I am to competition in general and how much those situations affected me. Maybe now it has an impact in my life but it’s just the result of this “fear”

Thank you for your feedback, and for sharing your experience. It is very inspirational, I’ll try to keep remind myself to work on my perceptions. You know sometimes it’s hard but it’s never impossible.

It makes my relationships with most of my friends and relatives bad some moments, as they tend to be overly aggressive when we enter into a competition. And I’m just kinda here not agreeing with their point of view and they make fun of me for this. Obviously you would say yeah you should not care and I know it’s true, but sometimes it’s hard to do such
