unfortunately its not for mere mortals like us to know why. you are not in control.
I reject everything about that.
well then you're gonna have a hard time. good luck with imposing your will on creation.
the human brain is a complex chemical stew knowing what makes it happy is not impossible or voodoo woo the older i get the more i get concrete verification that very often these things are as simple as nutrient deficiencies, and toxic reactions to synthetic "foods" there is also other, higher level things going on but they don't have as substantial effects... if you fix your foundations, often the flappy bits on the roof settle down
Imposing our will on creation is what humans do. If you want to rot in depression, try just being happy without building or changing anything. Whoever has told you you can't impose your will on creation, you need to ditch that nihilistic moron asap.
People don't like it when you tell them that they are not in control 🫢 nostr:nevent1qqsg6mzv5cfaag2c85z7g83fgmcpnte4dq26kjucdrtj7pmqsm9zxkgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs9tatnkeg7lu63mdtmqcqayvpzmrzn97vztkcs54ena0eehe92yxcrqsqqqqqpd8afqt
This is basically nietzche in shit post form https://nostpic.com/media/c222ecdcb4cb42e94e372a8fbca30f0abf856e4103de72c8f314f10ca31c0a26/6eddcdf254f01397c63f86110a84aa5f3727360d3000c338f91a9463c1df861a.webp
Do you see any irony in acting petty on a thread that's about not being petty?
this isn't pettiness nostr:nevent1qqs83qchqnypcvxu6cjudtgzptl03pq32m86v9mhg044kre0hmf7u6spr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgs0npwnpyvheqz7zuvuwvv9k460c0hyqlturds40hhfn34vufvehwcrqsqqqqqp543ky6
Its a straw man argument. Who are you trying to fool?
"...when the thing being controlled is clearly controlled by other humans. And they're not wrong." Fiat lux makes sense, because god said it. Fiat money makes no sense, because god never said it.
i have this really intense irritability especially towards things like barking chihuahuas and noisy vehicles driving past, and screaming children in school playgrounds i'm finding that i'm a little less distressed by these kinds of inputs now, and some mix of potassium, boron, magnesium and sulfur deficiencies seem to be involved possibly some new thing you are doing is depleting one or several of these and creating a vicious cycle
I was just thinking about how were aren't on control sometimes people really don't like to hear that but its true everything that is, is the Divine (or whatever you want to call it) acting. It isnt "myself" not to say a good run and breathing isnt a good thing. but remember that what you really are, is before any of that happens. nostr:nevent1qqs83qchqnypcvxu6cjudtgzptl03pq32m86v9mhg044kre0hmf7u6spr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgs0npwnpyvheqz7zuvuwvv9k460c0hyqlturds40hhfn34vufvehwcrqsqqqqqp543ky6
And I am a genuinely fucked up angry human being. Ive just gotten good at not blindly acting on that anger.
yeah when its deep physical/psychological stuff you have to have techniques. nothing anybody says is any help.😕 take care man.
Luckily, I recognize it's not my only trait, just probably my most problematic due to its prominence.
Well, from the viewpoint of a rando on Nostr, it doesn't seem to be that prominent frankly. you seem like a fun guy to get a beer with But oh, the secrets that lurk in the hearts of men etc 😂
It would probably be a different story if you "met" me in my late teens and early twenties. 😂 If we ever happen to be in the same geographical region at the same time, I would more than happily grab a beer with you.
