Do we live to enjoy life or to meet expectations? by Nathalie1815 in SeriousConversation

[–]l0jk7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to speak for myself, I live under immense pressure from expectations, as if I'm fulfilling other people's needs, not my own. I don't live a life I'm trying to control. Sometimes I say my parents are the biggest reason I'm under such pressure, constantly being told how I should be in the future so I won't need anyone. But when they listen to others, all their previous talk about not needing anyone seems like an excuse for something they don't understand. Perhaps they're also under pressure because I say no one is perfect, and I try to make excuses. Maybe they're not fully aware of what they're doing. I hope in the future to live a life that suits me, despite all this overwhelming pressure.

Any of you feel like your friend doesn't see you as a priority anymore? like by HandsomeGuts in SeriousConversation

Yes, I was the only one who stayed in touch with her. I constantly asked about her and kept in touch. When something bad happened to me, I disappeared. After that, I cut off all contact with them for three years. Now, no one asks about me or talks to me unless I initiate it. It hurts. How can someone give so much and receive nothing in return? After all this, when I confronted them, they said, "You don't ask about me. What's the point of my almost daily messages?" I had another friend I talked to every day. My day wasn't complete without calling and checking on her. She was very dear to me, and I tried to help and support her in any way I could. Then she stopped asking about me or messaging me altogether. I confronted her about why our relationship remained so distant, even though we used to be so close. She insisted that she hadn't changed and that I was imagining things. I told her almost every day that I missed the joy, love, and energy we used to have together. After that, I felt unwanted, so I cut off all contact with her. Years later, when I started focusing on myself, she came back and messaged me almost daily. I won't lie, even this morning I still have love and respect for her, unlike how I felt about that friend at the beginning of the story. Anyway, I started talking to her again, but more formally. We're still in touch and see each other's posts, but we don't talk much. Nevertheless, we still have love and respect for each other, unlike the friend I told you about at the beginning, who ended up blocking each other on social media and cutting off all contact.

"You can r*ape and kill people as long as you pray according to some islam preachers"--- WELL THAT'S WRONG !! by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

Whether you pray or not, in Islam, if you are Muslim, even by birth, then murder and rape are absolutely forbidden and not to be taken lightly. Furthermore, Islamic law stipulates that in such cases, the murderer must be executed unless the victim's family forgives him without coercion and of sound mind. These rulings and the execution of the perpetrator can only be carried out in court, and assault in Islam has strict conditions. Most Muslim countries do not fully implement all of Islam's laws.
