    There’s no reincarnation and no afterlife.

    less a fact and more a point of view just like everything else in which we can’t possibly know while in this form of perspective.

    almost like its intended in such a way so we can question our own ego on such things.

    but what do i know?

    nothing.

    just like you.

    Where you’re a slave but you dont have to do squat and they feed you and you dont have to pay them a dime. Then die before you’re life is over before you become a trapped burden to yourself and everyone around you.

    Unlike this life where you are a slave and have to scrape together to feed yourself and them…then you cant just simply die. no simple release. you must wither away.




  • for some, yes it is very much like that meaning.

    codependency, for example. we cant just stuff everyone’s mental health under one umbrella and assume they know what a simple sentence means without injecting their own meaning from experience into it.

    and dont get me started on how distorted ‘respect’ can be for people coming out of traumatic relationships. not everyone on the other side of this conversation is just some disrespectful teenager taking everything for granted and needing to have respect explained to them as a formal way of connecting.



  • I think studying that nuance is important before giving advice.

    Telling a person to just be nice with absolutely no other factor can paint a target on their head and put them in danger.

    Such as the power of observance to sense a danger. Place, location could be important. As is time. If you’re in more chances of being around the same people repeatedly to be able to assess their behaviour as safe enough would be another nuance that is important to know.

    you can be nice to anyone without making friends which is ok but making friends with them is vastly different. friend ship is a whole other channel involving give, take, sharing, trust, boundaries, vulnerability, time and intimacy and should be treated with care.

    And …Well for all we know of eachother as strangers online anyone on here could be this person who is being nice to everyone and are being completely taken advantage of. They could be full boil in a codpendency and have a distorted sense this is friendship. And just on here giving bad advice to others to get taken advantage of cus they believe dysfunction is how relationships work. The person giving the bad advice have no such boundaries and even perhaps hate and judge such boundaries as it means some hard self reflection.
