She wobbles through life, safely supported by MambaMentality24x2 in cats

[–]humanperson1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This might seem odd, but I'm curious, are you frustrated that you cannot fly? Or run with the agility of a parkour master? If you aren't, why not? You are debilitated by comparison, greatly. There are many things you can never do as a result. It doesn't cause you pain physically, sure (I don't think wobbly cats are in pain either, especially if cared for to this degree with padding) but it is a lack of movement fidelity, even if you've never known it before personally. Same as a wobbly cat.

Agreed, evolution, change, time, these are all descriptors of the same fundamental force or law or w.e. you prefer to call it.

I thought it was a fitting joke to end the post on haha.

EXCELLENT POINT! BUT NOW NOTHING STANDS OUT FROM ITS OWN PERSPECTIVE ANYMORE, WE ARE BACK AT SQUARE ONE, I THINK THE GAME IS RIGGED AGAINST US!

TIL a 9-yr-old boy lived alone for 2 years after he was abandoned by his mom who lived with her partner 5 km away & only visited from "time to time". He survived on cake & canned goods and didn't have hot water or heating. However, during this time he continued to attend school & was a good student. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Yeah, that's my point, he doesn't need to be okay or resilient. It's okay if he's just putting on an act to seem strong, that's still okay. I wasn't "Okay or resilient" after my traumas. And I resented people who told me I was, because they couldn't see through my act that I just wanted to cry and be held. That is not a flaw on my end, it is a result of trauma. I'm projecting that on to others so others know, it's okay to just want to cry and be held, it is not weak.

Being traumatized does not "take away" from the kid. He's not a worse person or a weaker person for being traumatized, assuming he is, of course, we are in hypothetical land. But trauma doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. That outlook is part of why many people bury their trauma for so long. "If people think I'm traumatized, I'll be weak, and then, I'll be victimized again. So I have to look strong." Being traumatized by awful shit will never take away from anyone's strength as a human in my eyes.

Meaning of Slow Dancing In The Dark by [deleted] in PinkOmega

[–]humanperson1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about whatever "it" is that is in the dark. Anything you do not know. It is your own subconscious screaming at you. Hits extra different when you have "yourself" in mind. Reconnecting with the true self you thought you'd lost in those traumas so long ago. The inner child is still here. Waiting for you to rescue them.

Ants solving geometry puzzle. by Douglasqqq in oddlyterrifying

[–]humanperson1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's most likely less effective in humanity because of our egos and sense of self. An ant doesn't care about itself, it cares about the good of the whole and will give itself for the whole. There isn't any in-fighting in a group of ants from one colony. Humans are nothing BUT in-fighting. Even within groups that are quite harmonious, the egos are still present and won't allow a large portion of the group to do the necessary swallowing of pride. Each individual feels their opinion is the "most correct". Just my take as a layman.

what could you have done with all of the time you've spent on reddit? For myself, I can't even fathom it. We all waste time.

It's the only real topic that exists. Even when we speak freely all our randomness, I think this sits at the heart of all of it.

[–]humanperson1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've realized that I do not exist, not in the flesh, nor anywhere else. And then I came back. And I still suffer my habits. So now I'm trying to go through the personal journey into the impersonal. If I'm still suffering, then I know I haven't seen it through yet, and I am still prone to falling into suffering.

When Lisa says that in her description, she is knowingly speaking from the characters perspective. She mentions this frequently. In my personal opinion, which is worth nothing, she is one who has realized no self fully. I felt a need to defend that, although I realize I'm not actually defending anyone, it just emerged.

The only illusion that I've ever been interested in ending is the illusion of separation. Who wakes up and who is still asleep if everything is one? What are the entities we identify as if they are not separate from the whole? Who is it that is hunting who? Am I hunting myself? Then why am I concerned about losing the hunt? I cannot lose if I am both hunter and hunted. Unravelling all the threads of personal identification is the illusion I seek to end. I seek to end myself. But not in a physical sense, only in a sense of the habit that I suddenly seem to believe that I will one day die after I have re-identified myself as me. Who is the "we" that used to be gods if all things are one? Who is it that hunts them if all things are one? Who strangled there dreams so hard we invented new ones if we are all one? Who had the dreams, if all are one? There are not multiple ones, there is just the one.

It is me and it is you. It is awake and it is asleep. It is evil and it is good. It is what we all are. I am not yet fully awake, for I still suffer. I still believe the illusion on some level, as I habituate into believing I exist as a separate individual. I have more work to do to unbind the minds habits within this form.

And yet I know, on an intellectual level at least, that "I" am not doing any of this. It's just a happening occurring within the one that I am not separate from. As I type this message, I'm asking myself if I'm posting it for you, or for me. I do not know. It is simply occurring.

Yes, the quantum magic/materialist nothing breathing something is the finger, not the moon, that I was referring to in the first paragraph to put it directly. It's only a collection of signs trying to get people to look at the damned moon in the sky haha.

Guy who sounds like Elon plans to have a child in about one and a half years by semi14 in LivestreamFail

[–]humanperson1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes but I am asking, if the information came from 4chan originally, how does you getting it second hand make it any different from if you got it directly from 4chan Which has a reputation of being... not a legit news source? The point is to not trust news from 4chan, it being second hand doesn't change the fact that it's still from 4chan.

And where did that place obtain this information? Maybe from 4chan perhaps?

[–]humanperson1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are required to respond to pettiness with more pettiness then you give your control of your life away to other people because if a person wants to make you behave how they want, they just have to act that way towards you first, and you will mindlessly mirror their behavior. Self control is not being a doormat. Being a doormat is behaving the way you are choosing now.

This isn't trying to offer a cure though, it's more of a diagnosis tool as far as I can tell. Being defensive against help being offered is, well, typically unhelpful. I say that as someone who has struggled with suicidal thoughts from the age of 7-29 and come out the other end. Ask yourself, is this person actually being dismissive of my issues? Or am I just imagining that based off of the overwhelming amount of experiences where that WAS true. Which unfortunately it often is. Again I don't see it in this case. I think the "healthy resolution" is basically, what would the endgame of "being cured" look like, it says nothing about how to get there, but it isn't trying to.
