Do I care what people on this site think of me? No, not really. I mean. This place is as bad as it gets. But in my life? With my friends and family, and with other communities I'm in? I'm positively terrified by leaving a bad impression or being excluded or knowing someone hates me or thinking someone hates me. It gets to the point where my anxiety is so overwhelming that I start to develop psychosomatic responses in the form of my heart literally hurting(A lot), loss of vision, shakier breathing, uncontrollable trembling. That kind of stuff. I've had to leave in the middle of college classes before. Which is. Frightfully embarrassing and only makes it worse later.
And I realize how stupid it is, but there's a disconnect between my emotions and my thoughts and I really haven't been able to mend it. It uh. It sucks. A lot.
Well I don't think everything exists. But maybe I'm crazy. Actually probably that. Also just because things exist doesn't mean they were created. And also, just because everything was created, doesn't mean there is a creator. And also again, just because there's a creator doesn't mean the creator is intelligent, let alone omnipotent, omnipresent, etc.
It's like. You see a guy on the street eating a banana and you go:
1) There is a guy eating a banana.
2) It was purchased.
3) There must be a banana stand nearby.
Seems logical enough, but what if the dude has a banana tree or something like that? Or hey, what if he got it from a supermarket and there -isn't- a banana stand nearby?
I know, I know, comparing gods to bananas. Still.
Eh, fuck it. We already share the load for our roads, our protection, and our schools. Why not give the ladies something to keep them from getting pregnant and flooding the world with unwanted children? Well. There's abortion, but everyone hates that too.
The weird situation in the Arab world is a perfect example of backwards thinking, and the effect it has on people. Firstly for some reason or another, the philosophy and perspective of the countries in the Arab world haven't changed much. Now, I'd blame it on their religion, but since other cultures have out-grown some of the strange things in their religion, I can't totally fault it. Secondly, they've always treated their women like that, and there's never been enough of women over there with the drive to stop it. Because you get rocks thrown at you. And you get shot.
It is sexist. It's wrong for them to be doing that, but they don't think it is because it's always been their approach. It's built into their culture which doesn't want to change. There are going to be some more problems the more the rest of the world progresses, in my opinion.
I don't agree with some of those points, but yeah it's getting to the point where congress is really fucking up. I think the problem is, in order to get a good position, even in congress, you have to be rich off of your ass. Yeah. I'm hating on the rich people. They don't represent me, and they don't represent the rest of America. They represent themselves, and that's what bugs me.
I honestly don't think congress is working the average American's interest.
Sometimes, the only way to push yourself to your potential is to be up against a wall. When shit gets heavy, people get moving. So my favorite position is the one where I'm pressured, because I can act. It's not about the little things anymore, like what clothes should I wear or what time I should set my alarm. When you're in that stance, it's easier to feel alive. Sure there's pain, but when you pull through, it feels that much greater.
Lies! It's always scheming liberals! They're always plotting the downfall of the American public with their 'socialist' ways.
Hahaha, but no davidh has a point, it probably has something to do with the fact that i twas a long time ago. Not that people shouldn't get their dues, it's just if you keep looking back it's kind of hard to focus on tomorrow.
Lies, existence alone is a theoretical impossibility. In that sense, god itself is not perfect. There is absolutely nothing ever that's perfect. It's the natural order of things. I'm sure he/she/it is more perfect than us but you'll find the closer you get to infinity(perfect in this case), you'll never quite reach it~
