Lord, I’m 44 and everything he said in this clip applies to me. That’s pretty sad.

A very deep, very meaningful look at suffering. So many ignorant people in the world believe that if you aren’t feeling physical pain, then you aren’t suffering. A co-worker lost his 14 year old daughter in a car accident on the highway when some stupid idiot decided to text a friend after a few drinks WHILE DRIVING. Are you telling me that my friend isn’t suffering?
There’s no such thing as 100%.

lol. thanks for sharing
I liked the youtube video. Specially the movie- life analogy. I’m getting to the point that I also don’t want anything but I think that that feeling comes from knowing that the things I want, I most come. Suicide for cowards? In my case, I feel like a coward for not being able to commit suicide.
I always hated that comment… Suicide is for cowards. If you were brave, you’d stay here and deal with your issues and deal with the pain.
I just want to grab the idiot who says that and throw him into a bonfire. When the fool tries to get out, I’ll call him a coward for not staying inside and dealing with the pain.
Why can’t people see that physical pain and mental pain are both PAIN?
I wrote about that in a previous post of mine. If it’s invisible, it doesn’t exist to them. They are ok with euthanasia for physical pain but for mental pain there is really no mercy.
That’s how I feel, too. Does anybody know how much courage it takes for me to get through my day? And I’ve got it good, there are so many people worse off than I who live on, courageously.
thank you x7. i cant stand that. if it did take courage wouldnt suicide be like “i, president obama honor ____ for the most courageous, highest honor possible, seppuku! now for a round of applause !!!”
I have it “good” too perhaps compared to some, but my mind is far worse than most minds I know.
It’s poisoned with bad habits, harmful patters, paranoias, obsessions, negativity, complexes, delusions, anger, low self esteem, “the unloved” constant feeling, the “never enough” constant feeling… and my brain pretty loyal to them all.
It’s a mechanical and spontaneous process that has completely sinked in and that could probably be reversible but it would take years and years of intensive hard work and therapy to undo. I’m too impatient, lazy and unmotivated to start this late and the bipolar chemistry doesn’t really help at all.
