Yes, not pushing pills! I see people stating that they took meds and it helped them.mackistan wrote:seriously? not pushing pills? the entire burner community is pill happy. not life happy. you can get a pill at the event as well, they got them everywhere, so don't lie, it is not becoming.maryanimal wrote:
I don't think anyone here is pushing pills on anyone, just allowing people to know there are options. People have the right to chose what they think is best for them. Some people appreciate the kindness of others who point them to different avenues.
There are somethings that a person needs to let go of. shit happens. However when a person in clinically depressed, it isn't as easy as some may think.
I've been robbed, raped, held at gunpoint and yet I've managed to forgive my attackers. Even now, this time in life, I've let those things go.
We all have our own ways of protecting ourselves, our psyches, our souls. what may work for one may not work for another, but we all have our own coping skills...or not.
pills are not compassion. they are a slow death and mask the true issues.
also i have been robbed, raped, harassed, stalked, and laughed at when i reported it, so i guess you got me, i was not held at gun point. had a bunch of other stuff happen though. i found when i forgave, it just gave the attacker to do it again. so i am going to get revenge. that is my coping skill that i learned. sweet sweet revenge.
and i agree about having your own coping skills, but to force your coping skills on another? wow that is just control freakish. and there is a lot of that in this world.
and you speak of the soul yet you come here? that is weird. just kidding i know you had a soul.
i love burning man and women too
And I'm sorry from my heart all those things happened to you. But to seek revenge for all the bad things and pain that were bestowed upon you? I guess I can understand to a point, but an eye for an eye has never appeared to work.
I hope you can one day be free of all the crap that people have done to you. Life really is good!
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Here's one from Rumi:
You think you are alive because you breathe air?
Shame on you, that you are alive in
such a limited way. Don't be without Love,
so you won't feel dead.
Die in Love and stay alive forever.

I think some detail might be useful.
I know what the idea means to me.
There was a time that the only control I had in my life was doing things for other people.
