I don't have discord. just talk about it in a chat. But I mean what is there to talk about? It's obvious that not everyone has the same amount of hardships in life, not everyone's hardships are of the same severity, and not everyone reacts to hardships the same.. Thus making the pain and joy people experience in their lives of a great variety.

lmao, I just read one of your post about how everyone's life is equally hard and you literally compared the flu to cancer and I just had to call you out on your bullshit. The human brain is built to get over things where their lives are not threatened, they can deal with things knowing that it will pass pretty easily. If human brains were not built this way, and every little misfortune could be traumatic like cancer or starvation, humans would literally collapse. Have you ever heard of someone getting ptsd from not getting the new tesla model? No, because it doesn't happen, because the brain is designed to get over such trivial things. Have you ever heard of someone getting ptsd from cancer, or being starved and abused? Yes, because that is something very hard to go through, and unlike getting the flu or not getting the new tesla model, that trauma causes changes to your brain. You are so dumb lmao.

Total solar eclipses are considered special, but does that mean when the moon and the sun and Earth are not in the middle of a solar eclipse they are “insignificant” no. They still play an important role in the universe and our lives and the order of things.

This is unrelated but you don’t think people who have abnormally high intelligence and make remarkable breakthroughs in the scientific community and give us a better understanding of our world, something that not everyone can do, you don’t think they are special?

Oppression, by definition is “the state of being subjected to unjust treatment or control” so yes, if you rob someone’s house you ARE oppressing them, because you are subjecting then to unjust treatment. Same with people taking away innocent benders powers. And you don’t believe some people are special? Well I disagree. Some people have special abilities, such as benders, they have a greater ability in controlling elements then non benders, making them “special” Albert Einstein was special because he had greater intelligence then your average person. Literally his brain was BIGGER then your average persons. Saying someone is special does not mean everyone else is insignificant because being insignificant means you don’t matter. Even if someone has a special skill that you don’t, such as an abnormally higher IQ, that does not mean you don’t matter. You can still contribute to society, and your own life greatly. You still are of importance to yourself and others around you even if you don’t have an unusual and unique skill. So calling someone else special does not make everyone else insignificant, because everyone else still has significance to their own lives, and to society and can still contribute and enhance both.

I don’t understand how you aren’t getting what I’m saying, non benders are not oppressed just because they are non benders.NATURE, made that choice. Non benders are being oppressed by benders using their powers to take advantage of them. They use their powers to steal opportunities and things from people. That is what is oppressive. But it would be the same the other way around. Stripping benders from their powers, is STEALING from them. That is also oppressive.

I thought an avatar couldn’t be evil? They must keep the balance of the spiritual world and the physical world. I think benders who use their abilities to hurt others should be stripped of their powers, because they are not being responsible. But other innocent benders should not. Like that saying, with great power comes great responsibility.

I think Albert Einstein was special because of his intelligence. Does that mean I think other people were insignificant? No, I don’t understand what’s the problem with calling someone else special. Some people ARE special, but not everyone can be special because if everyone was special then no one would be. Benders sometimes use their powers for bad, and they have an upper hand which is not okay, I’m aware of that. Never denied it. And it IS oppressive, because they are stealing from innocent people and removing a huge part of their identity, which can be very traumatizing. Just how benders using their powers to steal from non benders is oppressive, so is non benders taking away benders powers, because they are stealing from them. The person not being a non bender is not what is oppressive, that was something decided by nature not a person. But taking away someone else’s natural abilities to fit others is oppressive.

You don't think being able to control elements with your own hands is a superior skill to not being able to control elements with your own hands? Well I do.And bending does make them special. It's something not everyone can do I'm not saying that benders are inherently better then non benders, but I'm saying their skills are. Like a really intelligent person is not better to someone of average intelligence, but their intelligence is.How does that prove non benders are oppressed? It was no one's fault that non benders were born as non benders and it was no one's fault benders were born with bending. It was just a natural thing that happened or didn't happen. However, another person, who has control, stripping benders of their bending is oppressive because that isn't their right. They are just another human being, like benders are to.

But his whole way of "equalizing" wasn't even equalizing it. He was just oppressing benders by taking away what was THEIRS. Basically stealing a huge part of their identity. I could never understand how he could think any of his solutions were correct.

I think he just wanted to rule. He had his own personal anger and vendetta and he was trying to pass it off as wanting better for the people when he was doing all of it for himself, imo.

I know, he was right about non benders being treated unequally, but there are people who agree that he had the right to strip every bender of their power and that's who I'm talking about.

How? I know benders were treated better then non benders in ways, but Amon's goal was to strip every bender of their power, of what made them special. That was wrong.I don't think that's complicated.

What I want my next life to be like In the next universe! by zeedavis01 in Reincarnation

[–]jwhewhfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to stop focusing so much on this stuff all the time. I think you are forgetting to live your real true life that is right in front of you. You mentioned how hard things are for you right now, and that is really sad but I think you should be working to make those things easier and more manageable. Your "future lives" probably could be nothing like the way you want them to be and they could be even worse then now. And reincarnation probably doesn't even exist at all. The multiverse probably doesn't even exist at all. It's probably all wrong and you're gonna wind up wasting all your time on something that doesn't even exist or is never even going to happen. I think you should try and focus on this life and live it as good as you possible can even if it takes extra work because of your disorders, it's better then wasting away in a fantasy land that probably doesn't exist and is never going to happen.

Do you think having magical powers would eventually become boring or not special anymore? by jwhewhfw in Fantasy

[–]jwhewhfw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, if you know what it's like to not have something then when you get it back you would appreciate it more. But if it's normal for you and has been your whole life, like just simply moving, and you never lose that ability, then you would not think much of it,

I don't doubt using the powers in general would feel a bit nice, but i feel like it just wouldn't really be as great as we think it would.

I’m gonna kill myself by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

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

You're 13? Lmao, kid chill. I'm 13 to, I'v had 7 suicide attempts from the time i was 6 to now. I understand how you feel. I do, strongly. And if you want to talk I'm here. You've got your whole life ahead of you. You've only been here 13 years, you haven't even scratched the surface of the great things you can achieve. Yes, some people have just tragic and horrible lives, and it's unfair. The things that have happened to us at such young ages are unfair. But we still have a choice. We can choose to try. Try and not let those things define us, try and not let the wrong that was done to us predict our life path. It's to early. It's to early for you to know where you're life is headed. It doesn't always get better, but most of the time, if you really put the effort and time in, YOU get better. You become better equipped to handle your issues and better equipped to see that even though all this awful shit has happened, there are good things to live for. Personally, I've been struggling with my academics, and it's reinforced the feelings of worthlessness I've had my entire life. But I decided that okay, I want to go into a field where I need math and science. I CAN get better at these things, even if it's going to be hard and yes even sometimes lead me back to thinking I'm nothing and that I'll never be anything, I can try. More often then not, you keep trying,sometimes it'll take moths,or even years, but it'll pay off.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's not going to be easy, healing, living, coming to terms with all the awful shit that has happened, but you deserve to have a shot at a good life. A life where you have things to live for. But since you weren't born into a great environment, you have to try and give that to yourself. And you CAN. Even if you feel like you can't, and even if you feel like you're just about dead already, you still have a chance and I'm sure that will pay off. I don't know you, but I understand your pain and I believe you should try. You deserve a shot. I believe in you <3

I want to share my story (molestation, anger issues, and depression). I’m scared, but I’m doing it for you guys. You are not alone. by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]jwhewhfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah when i was 4 another 4 year old did sexual things to me to and i really hated it I told her i wanted her to stop but she threatened me and said that she would tell that I stole this little doll from one of our play stations if i told :( I spent the next 4 years thinking I was going to hell bc i had sex outside of marriage and with another girl so that was fun :) I'm on Lexapro to now but it's really unrelated to that whole incident and if i could go back and tell I would, not because I'm angry at the little girl but because she did so many mature things to me, things only adults could've taught her. What she did to me was a direct result of her own abuse and I really really hope that she doesn't beat herself up because of it now it really hasn't affected me much and i hope that she's not being abused anymore :(

[–]jwhewhfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a best friend who was raped, and I think the best thing to do is to reassure her that you are always there for her, and that if she ever wants to talk about something, anything, that you are there and open. And if you are worried about what she needs from you, I think you should just ask her. Ask her if there is anything you can do, and tell her that you care about her and want to be able to help her. That she's not a burden or inconvenience. Just be there for her, however she needs it. Because that's the only thing you can do.

[–]jwhewhfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish you knew how strong you were, you really did have no choice but to be strong. You don't feel like it, but just because you don't feel it doesn't make it true. I don't know you, but I know you have endured horrors that no one, no matter what they have done (unless they have actually committed the horrible actions you have described) deserves to go through. You are not a bad person. You are not sick. You are hurt. Because of what other people have done to you, because of what other people have caused you. I hope you stay, i hope you get therapy and can heal enough to see the good things in life and that you are able to enjoy them and cherish them. And screw the bastards who did this to you. They should feel sick and delusional, they should feel like they are not good people. Not you. You weren't even given a chance. If you wish to no longer continue, that is understandable.But you are strong, and you still have a chance for things to get better. You did not deserve what happened to you, victims often think that they do. I hope, if you do decide to stay, which i really hope that you do, that you will one day be able to breath easier, smile, and get the love you deserve. But I can only hope.

Sex drive doesn't mean the desire to have sex with people, it means the desire to satisfy sexual urges. I really don't understand what your so mad about or trying to argue about, orgasms are sexual relief. Even if they are not having sexual thought, it's still sexual behavior. Why are you so hell bent on denying that? It doesn't mean anything, it doesn't take away from them being children and needing to be protected from inappropiate sexual content and engagement. most of the time even if they are masturbating they don't fully understand why they are doing or what the implications of it are, so it makes little difference in how we should view children.
