I don't see an alternative way of living. But at least most of us can experience the beauty of our universe and be happy.

2018-03-03 12:13:42 UTC  

well this is pretty central to a lot of philosophy, west and east

2018-03-03 12:14:03 UTC  

How do you deal with the suffering

2018-03-03 12:14:14 UTC  

how do you go about living this

2018-03-03 12:14:19 UTC  

its not an easy one

2018-03-03 12:14:36 UTC  

Isolation to be honest.

2018-03-03 12:15:03 UTC  

I mean I'm my own worst enemy and best friend so that's basically how I deal with it.

2018-03-03 12:15:23 UTC  

well psychoanalysis has a good take on this too

2018-03-03 12:15:38 UTC  

But when I actually deal with it properly I pretend to be someone Im not in order to fit in more.

2018-03-03 12:16:14 UTC  

But with actual suffering I can't really say I deal with it.

2018-03-03 12:16:52 UTC  

Maybe it was just too much for me but I guess I just distract myself from pain since it just seems like the best thing to do.

2018-03-03 12:17:23 UTC  

And it works because then I can multitask and work on bettering myself while just ignoring the pain.

2018-03-03 12:17:48 UTC  

so the psychoanalytic view

2018-03-03 12:18:00 UTC  

would be that we must nurture our pain

2018-03-03 12:18:01 UTC  

And by bettering myself I dont mean by helping myself but I mean by trying to make myself a better person like a good person.

2018-03-03 12:18:07 UTC  

as part of us is still infantile

2018-03-03 12:18:15 UTC  

and it needs to be parented

2018-03-03 12:18:24 UTC  

and often our parents make mistakes

2018-03-03 12:18:34 UTC  

Which lead to all sorts of beliefs

2018-03-03 12:18:40 UTC  

and sometimes trauma

2018-03-03 12:18:40 UTC  

and delusions

2018-03-03 12:19:16 UTC  

there's a lot of consequences to such simple mistakes

2018-03-03 12:19:28 UTC  

Yes there are

2018-03-03 12:19:40 UTC  

so in this view

2018-03-03 12:20:00 UTC  

Imagine playing with clay

2018-03-03 12:20:02 UTC  

http://hiddenlolcdn.com/i/225643.png ''think of the childred''

2018-03-03 12:20:15 UTC  

and that clay you use to make the world around you

2018-03-03 12:20:18 UTC  

the people you know

2018-03-03 12:20:22 UTC  

.etc

2018-03-03 12:20:24 UTC  

but its all you

2018-03-03 12:20:31 UTC  

the person you hate. you dont hate them

2018-03-03 12:20:44 UTC  

thats a construction that you made and hate. its you

2018-03-03 12:21:23 UTC  

So the goal of the analytic therapy is to get to the most painful area

2018-03-03 12:21:26 UTC  

I don't really hate anyone

2018-03-03 12:21:37 UTC  

And learn to hold it almost

2018-03-03 12:21:54 UTC  

you get the idea though right?

2018-03-03 12:21:57 UTC  

Yes.

2018-03-03 12:22:08 UTC  

I do.

2018-03-03 12:22:43 UTC  

So a person who feels like a parent abandoned them. They might construct this narrative many times

2018-03-03 12:22:57 UTC  

You see it with some guys who really struggle with women

2018-03-03 12:23:40 UTC  

They might only know the abandonment they felt in childhood
