I Hate the World We Live InI hate radical non-judgement because I can think of few things that leave evil more free to do its work in the world.
I Hate the World We Live InIf you're on one side of an issue, then you'll have an army of like minded people patting you on the back for believing what you believe. If you're on the other side of the issue, then you'll also have an army of like minded people patting you on the...See More »
I Hate the World We Live InIsn't it funny how you listen to the story being told by one side of an issue, and it makes it sound like the issue is so utterly one sided that only a brain-dead psycho could possibly be on the other side of it... but then you listen to the story...See More »
I Struggle To Truly Know MyselfBeing the voice of reason (based on my best judgement) - no matter how alone I sometimes am in it, and no matter how many people disagree with me - is something that resonates with me. It's something that feels right. I realize now that it's part of...See More »
I Think You Shouldn't Pass Judgement Just Because It's EasyI don't understand this obsession people have nowadays with radical non-judgement. There are a lot of positive aspects to it, yes, but at the same time - it's too simple. Too easy. There's a line between what's acceptable and what deserves to be...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsIt's all a number's game. The larger flow of society is always going to go exactly where it goes - and nothing that any of us do will ever make the slightest difference in that, unless you're a Buddha or a Martin Luther King. The planet will either...See More »
I Am Trying to Break My Bad HabitsPeople don't hold onto something, and push away the alternatives, unless (on some level) they *want* the thing that they're holding onto - no matter how destructive or limiting it might be.
I Have Random ThoughtsFor me, when it comes to any interaction with another person, be it a stranger or a close friend, I consider it my job to handle whatever they throw at me, and I consider it their job to not be an asshole (or worse). And I consider it their job to...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsThe worse that a person is, the more they'll despise you for doing the right thing. That doesn't make you or your actions wrong - it just means that they're an utter garbage person who hates the light, because it reveals them and shows them how ugly...See More »
I Hate Evil PeopleI'm usually smarter than this, but I just made the mistake of engaging with an evil person instead of immediately blocking them and deleting their comments. Now I'm going to be agitated for an hour. It's indescribable, the way that evil people can...See More »
I Hate Evil PeopleI would break every sociopath, psychopath and covert narcissist's neck with my bare hands, if I had the chance.
I'm Sick Of The LiesThose who hate the truth will always make others suffer in order to protect their own sickness.
I Admire Depth And UnderstandingOkay, it's time for another one of these, in hopes that something's changed since the last time I posted a story like this: Does anyone know if there's currently a site out there that's similar to how EP used to be? Somewhere where people post...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsThis world is too broken to sweat the parts that are just a little bit cracked.
Has anyone else experienced times when your thoughts/inner voice sounds really quiet and/or really far away?Is there a name for it? Or an emotion that you'd associate with it?
I Am World WearySo much of my past and my heart and my story and my very self are this utterly bereft barren waste. So much of me is just so utterly empty. My heart and my body and my muscles are so filled with fear and anger and self loathing and guilt and old...See More »
I Have Trust IssuesTrusting others really comes down to trusting your own ability to read people. Trusting your own ability to tell the difference between a truly trustworthy person, and a seemingly trustworthy facade.
I Believe In Respecting Other Peoples' BoundariesYou don't set boundaries by asking the other person not to cross a line - that's not a boundary, it's a request - you set boundaries by telling the other person not to cross a line, and making them respect it. With the truly disrespectful, it means...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI know what it means for mercy to be born in the midst of rage. Rage clouds our eyes when we're in its midst, but if we can focus our eyes for just an instant, then it becomes the perfect vantage point for seeing just how ugly it is. It's at that...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI don't think that a person has to be toxic in order to be someone who's toxic to argue with.
I Dislike People With Huge Ego'sNever let some asshole with a big ego make you think that you're a piece of shit just because something about you or your actions is similar to them or their bad actions, or to someone else and their bad actions. They will *always* twist things and...See More »
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialI believe in looking at the information available to you, analyzing it, and intelligently drawing conclusions based on it. And you know what another word for that is when you do it toward a person? - "Judging." When people whine about not wanting...See More »
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialLiberals look at the idea of things rather than the reality on the ground. Hence, socialism - one of the most utopian looking theories, and one of the most hellish realities to live in.
I Hate the World We Live InI won't lie to myself about it - I do feel condescension toward people who don't think for themselves. I think that it's a low and ugly way to be, and I'm grateful that, for better or for worse, my natural instinct is to think for myself. I think...See More »
