...2days thought...

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations


Guys... everyone has a right to their own opinions/views/thoughts... pls respect that.. remember Marcus also said this...

@MoonlightLullaby I disagree. I agree with the saying and I have had anything but an easy life. I think it all comes down to victim mindset verses responsibility as adult mindset.

A fragile victim focused person "You're making drama you're hurting me" in a discussion you and your adult ass decides to engage in won't be able to comprehend Marcus message.

It's basically telling you that I'm not your issue or enemy. No one is.

Your choice of reaction is. Instead of telling others to stop having thoughts of their own. You can control your reaction.

But you think your reactions is because of your suffering hard life. That's just a mindset of a victim.

@Queendragonfly
That's an awfully broad paintbrush you're painting me with there..

I am [b]anything[/b] but a victim in this life and have posts on victim mentality. I have an extremely grateful heart, and I love myself despite my adversities and inadequacies. So see me as you wish, but you have not lived my life. You know nothing about me.

@dale74 and what do [b]you[/b] know about [b]my[/b] life? I'm not trying to be negative here, just realistic. I'm also grateful to be alive, so what [b]now[/b]? Any other projections?

@MoonlightLullaby first do you know who Marcus Aurelius was
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@MoonlightLullaby This isn't about anyone's life or a competition though. It's a mindset.

@dale74 I wonder how it can be biased when Marcus went through tons of pain and suffers 😂 it screams victim mindset to me.

@Queendragonfly You're the one who started the drama with me, so don't act as if I'm doing that. I have a wonderful mindset; a growth mindset but I can not agree with this statement. Allow me to have my own perspective please.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@MoonlightLullaby You can have a subconscious victim mindset while remaining positive on the surface. Fooling yourself in a simpler English.

If you don't like my opinions or perspectives you have a choice to disengage.

@MoonlightLullaby Claiming you want others to respect your opinions while calling others opinions drama proves my point. You're more fragile than you'd like to admit.

@Queendragonfly i don't even buy into the constant positivity game either. But yep, you have me figured out. I see you and your new friend as as bullies. Peace be with you both 🪻
