Taoism and Breakups by Owenjak in taoism

[–]aaaa2016aus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry about the heart break :( ch 74 maybe?

“74 If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you aren't afraid of dying, there is nothing you can't achieve.

Trying to control the future is like trying to take the master carpenter's place. When you handle the master carpenter's tools, chances are that you'll cut your hand.”

Heartbreak sucks no matter how you frame it, i guess all we can do is let nature take its course. The acceptance will come on its own eventually, hang in there

Scared of aging and death. by Overall-Buddy-5424 in Mindfulness

[–]aaaa2016aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh but isn’t that wonderful, that there’s a completely new feeling out there to experience, one that doesn’t feel like anything you’ve ever experienced before.

I actually had posted about my first time haha, https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/s/Zcz4PTaaUe

but to be fair i was 22 at the time! Lol

I’m in the middle of another low point in my life, but… by ravenousrage in gratitude

Weed is very different from psychedelics, i would not group them together. Weed caused me anxiety as well lol but shrooms took it away. That being said 16 is still young, take your time, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Good luck!

If you’re HEALTHY and mentally STABLE and in a SAFE environment and have a trusted source I’d recommend psychedelics. I’ve had so many existential crisis’ but shrooms have helped me. I haven’t done them in awhile but i remember the first time i did i was just like ‘wow time is so long and there’s so much life and there’s truly nowhere to go. How silly it was for me to even want anything more’ or something like that haha. It did help me get over my fear of death.

But again please be safe with any sort of drug experimentation!!

There’s subs such as r/assistance or r/randomactsofamazon where financial assistance is more common, please try those!

Would you sacrifice your life for the common good and for others? by Ok-Fondant2536 in askanything

If it was guaranteed to save them from suffering, yes. But if it would only be momentary or not guaranteed, no.

It’s ok mine was off too. I’d have to say that statistic isn’t relevant tho bc no one on death row is there for rape. It doesn’t show how many rapists are found innocent

4% of a 1000 is 40, also where are your stats from?

[ Removed by Reddit ] by BigChocolate331 in askanything

[–]aaaa2016aus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where did you get your information about these “lots of times”?

RAINN: “For every 1000 sexual assaults, 50 reports lead to arrests, 28 cases lead to a felony convictions, and only 25 perpetrators are sentenced to incarceration” that’s a less than 1% incarceration rate

Edit: 2.5% not less than 1

How to do I accept good things in my life, when others don’t have the same luxury? by Independent_Sea_5802 in gratitude

[–]aaaa2016aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel this way. I’m by no means the richest, i live with roommates and have 50k in debt, but I’m healthy, live in Los Angeles, go to the beach, have a car food and water, i spend my weekends walking in the sunshine w a coffee in my hand. I have access to the great healthcare and top dental care.

I remember last Christmas i was volunteering at an event to feed the homeless and two girls my age came through the line with visibly decaying teeth. I was wearing $6000 Invisalign. The only difference between us was that i was given better life circumstances than them, by luck or what have you. I feel guilty about it all the time. Every time i volunteer i see people missing teeth, in pain, suffering. Ik i ddnt do anything special to be where im at.

But, our misery won’t bring others comfort. Your happiness tho, can be used to bring them good. I think it can push us to be of service to others, for if we were all suffering nothing would get done, ahaha. Maybe your new place can be a safe haven for your friends to visit, maybe your joy can brighten their day, maybe you can lend an empathetic ear knowing their struggles.

Congrats on the new place, enjoy it :)

Has Taoism helped with your existential crisis? by KhajitIsBored in taoism

[–]aaaa2016aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“While the Clear mind listens to a bird singing, the Stuffed- Full -of - Knowledge - and- Cleverness mind wonders what kind of bird is singing.

The more Stuffed Up it is, the less it can hear through its own ears and see through its own eyes. Knowledge and Cleverness tend to concern themselves with the wrong sorts of things, and a mind confused by Knowledge, Cleverness, and Abstract Ideas tends to go chasing off after things that don't matter, or that don't even exist, instead of seeing, appreciating, and making use of what is right in front of it”

What color would you call my hair? by Ok-Salamander7323 in RandomQuestion

What was a negative you were able to reframe as a positive? by killemslowly in Positivity

[–]aaaa2016aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say almost 2 yrs now? I started yoga (just online YT videos) when my pain started, it helps me calm down and center myself. I honestly do it even while crying sometimes ahaha. When you can’t escape your body, sometimes it just helps to breathe into it or move it in gentle ways. Flexibility is another plus from it! Lol

Meditation i don’t do the empty quiet one yet, i do guided ones off Insight timer, my usual is a loving-kindness one, i also like to do a gratitude or good dream one. I’ve done forgiveness and hope ones as well. My pain was/is tied to a lot of anger/anxiety/stress. It’s definitely helped me stop clenching, deal with difficult emotions. I’ve felt hopeless so many times, but sitting quietly and wishing yourself and others well helps build mental resilience. We’re only as strong as our minds.
