Harnessing Your Emotions

by Cateau 8/15/2015

written by Cateau

I recently heard, in audio precepts, a book I had long sought in my adolescence called Harnessing Your Emotions by Andrew Wommack. Although this is a Christian take on psychology, it did help me realize that our emotions are controled by our thoughts not the other way around. This in turn has aliviated me of social anxieties, personality disorders and psychological ailments. The populous runs with the idea of psychology that our cirumstances dictate how we should feel and act which becomes our excuse for destructive behaviour.

For those who struggle to smile or get out of bed, hearing that “you choose to be happy or […]

Hate Is Like An Acid

by Yours, Forever and Always 8/14/2015

written by Yours, Forever and Always

I hate our society.

I think I have hated it ever since that first moment that I actually understood it.

I hate how we’re all so god damn attached to cell phones.

I hate how we judge immediately because that’s our instinct.

I hate how I know so many kids with mental problems because our society has shaped them and previous generations to cause it.

I hate how everyone, especially myself, is just so FREAKING SAD ALL THE FREAKING TIME!

I hate how I go to school, I worry about our financial situation more than anyone, I’m […]

My Bioethics Agenda

by wndozh8er 8/12/2015

written by wndozh8er

As a political and social philosopher, I developed many ideas over the years – education and prison reform for example, which I may talk about later, among many other ideas. What I want to share with you all today is my vision on bioethics and how my ideas should be turned into federal law.

My ideology on bioethics has been inspired by secular humanism, suffering abolition, emerging technologies, futurology, and above all, choice! Let me give you some examples of what I believe should be turned into law.

1. Euthanasia for the terminally ill or severely handicapped should be a constitutional right.

2. Euthanasia for the mentally ill […]

a message to society

by quietiris 8/11/2015

written by quietiris

Everywhere on social media, men and women post perfect pictures of their bodies and faces, making it look like their imperfections are inexistent and unreal. We, as normal, maybe even weird, human beings – look at these people as our role models and ‘omg, goals‘. We never really think about the face hidden underneath those layers of foundation and filters, or the extra curves in one’s body.

It’s all about the look, right?

Makeup isn’t a sin, so aren’t filters. Looking beautiful isn’t a sin. But being cruel towards those who are physically and facially inferior to you is a sin.

You can have a flawless body, and have a heart of […]

relaxing at death’s door

by tphg 8/9/2015

written by tphg

I’ve had this image in my head for the last several weeks. It’s of me sitting in an empty white space, leaning up against a solitary white framed wooden door. I imagine that once I arrived in this white purgatory, I spent a great deal of time beating against the door, jiggling the knob, trying to move on to what’s next. But after a while, I realized that nothing I can do will open the door, so I sit and wait. Occasionally I knock on the door softly, whisper sweet nothings to it, but the door remains firmly in place.

It’s a metaphor for the way […]

written by wellwellwell

so long story short,

im too lazy to live…sounds awful, selfish, stupid, but well its true, i finished school, worked in many shitty places which gave me even more depression, or opend my eyes actually. There is no big plan, there is no big scenario for each of us, there is no big meaning of life its all bullshit, we all know that, we all depressed because we think there is, that “c`mon, its cant be all, it has to be some purpose” well…there is not, there is happiness in life, sure thing, but those sometimes 2 min of happiness is worth living and suffer all […]

The world is fucking corrupted, society became nothing because we did nothing to make it something. People will walk over one an other for pieces of papers, we’re killing one an other, we’re killing our self without even noticing that we’re killing everything around us. in what fucking world am i leaving. if people could just open their eyes and realize that we’re fucking dying and of course as the selfish human being that we are we cannot go down alone we’re taking this world with use. We are the killers and the killed, we built things just to brake them, we take and take […]

What’s the worst that could happen?

by thehusk 8/6/2015

written by thehusk

Most of my life is dominated by fear. So why not lay it out. What’s the worst thing that I can imagine?

I suppose it’s experiencing neverending pain, torment, horror, terror etc. That’s what ideas of hell tend to invoke. It’s hard to imagine feeling that kind of extreme negative emotion non-stop, for all eternity. Surely you’d become numb to any kind of torture, given enough time. But I can’t dismiss it entirely. The idea of hell has a deep grip on a part of my psyche. Because it feels I deserve that kind of punishment. I can’t really square that with my rational side. I […]

Assisted suicide for all, not for some

by Mark_1981 7/31/2015

written by Mark_1981

As more and more countries adopt the idea of assisted suicide–thankfully of course–one has to ponder why assisted suicide is only available to those who are terminally ill and mentally sane? Why can the option be made available to those who are not terminally ill but yet mentally sane? Not everyone who is suicidal is mentally incompetent and lacking the ability to reason and/or understand the consequence of actions.

Canada has yet to adopt the rules and guidelines for assisted suicide. Thankfully due to a Supreme Court landmark decision, the court has made assisted suicide legal and gave a year for the Government of Canada to […]

Going Down, Society (in our current state, anyway)

by not_much_different 7/12/2015

written by not_much_different

Talk to someone about something relevant, and most people will respond like they are not interested.

People that prioritize their fantasies at the expense of the reality of things are, sadly, the byproduct of a lack of education, cultural indoctrination, or more drastically, some genetic outcomes, being a victim of violence, extreme poverty, sickness, addictions, to name a few…

Now try to fix or to solve a universal, a global, a regional or a local problem, because that idea you got is closer to an optimal state, clearly realistic, and/or overall less or not problematic at all. You will be stopped, discouraged, even […]

I am new here – my suicidal feelings are old

by pichu 7/11/2015

written by pichu

I am 20. It’s been 4 years now. Everyday I say to myself “I want to die”. You know the little games we play in our mind. Mine is – saying to myself “I want to die”.

It started off due to academic pressure, then bullies, then other tensions. Eventually I am now a failure everywhere. If we meet someday, you wouldn’t be able to tell that I am suicidal. I wish you could. No way can sense how unhappy I am. I am just another introvert in front of society. Inside I am a tired guy screaming in tears – “I WANT TO DIE”.

I am […]

written by nomorepain461

i knew it. The only reason that the doctors didnt know what they were talking about was because they were doctors that treat poor people. The really good doctors know what they are talking about, but they require insurance and money. I deal with a caseworker, and she is a very judgemental person. She thinks i cant find a job cause im crazy or something. No, the reason i cant find a job is because i was the only person in my family to go to college, and i didnt realize what to do in college to get a great job. I didnt network and […]

my Angel

by godbless 6/21/2015

written by godbless

Everybody will be better off without me. I’m a burden to society in general it’s actually quite embarrassing.

I have nothing to offer the world. My grandmother used to tell me everybody has a purpose in life–maybe mine was simply to die.

Just a few more nights…until then I’m getting dressed up nice for the last time right now. I’m going to see my grandfather. I feel like it doesn’t make a difference if I go to family events or not anymore. Nobody actually cares if I’m there or not. But I’m sucking it up and truthfully I’d like to my grandfather and his dog one last […]

Filthy Life

by Lipu.soul 5/18/2015

written by Lipu.soul

God, you made my soul filthy. That’s why I was inappropriately touched as a kid, that too by parents especially by mom. I am still ashamed about it. Bullied and verbally abused by other kids at School, Colleges and social circle. Now tell me why you made it such a hell?? You made sure I am stuck with my parents and don’t know whether I am made to get married and throw another child into same hell. I was failed academically despite being a good student. Again it’s because my soul is filthy and I don’t deserve success. I am sure you don’t want any […]

I Hate this Soiciety/World

by flatliner 5/13/2015

written by flatliner

I fucking hate everyone in this life. Everyone is selfish and hypocrite. They are saying that they care about you/him/it but in reality they just don’t give a shit. Everyone is doing what the ”majority” (the others) is doing. If everyone has an account on a social networking site (twitter etc) you also need to have one otherwise you are consider weird and strange. If you are not the man with the nice looking appearance and the fancy hairstyle you are also consider outcast (mostly in women). If you are not interested in things like sports & music just like the others do, again you […]

Simple question

by finalrequest 5/9/2015

written by finalrequest

If you found out that you were a subject (victim) of nonconsenting government testing which includes mental torture and manipulation, extreme harassment and 24/7 monitoring and invasion of personal space including cameras and bugs found inside home and had everything important that you worked extremely hard to reach in your life raped from you because of this, would you want to continue living in this society? I rest my case.

Scars

written by maxwell

We all have our own stories some may be worse than others but Every scar that buries deep within my skin holds its own story, every one of them shows a victory, its showing that I have won yet another battle with life, so why hate me and judge me for what lies on my arm, you don’t judge a soldier for a battle wound or scars because he got that fighting a war for his life, I did the same thing I have won a war for my life and these are the wounds and scars that have been left behind for me to […]

Maybe Society Really Is Fucked Up

by ghost187 4/22/2015

written by ghost187

(NOTE: THIS IS JUST A RANT. DON’T TAKE ANY OF IT PERSONALLY IF YOU DO)
Maybe society really is fucked up.
I mean now it has doctors and therapist telling parents that if their child wants to hurt
themselves to let them. Just to be on stand by just in case. They’re telling parents that it’s their child’s life and they can do anything they want to their bodies. That there’s no way to stop them. Parents can’t force their kids to get help or to let them in.

Maybe society really is fucked up.
It now has girls and boys on social media who […]

However I know why I didn’t. I might throw up and blame myself for not going, and perhaps I’ll keep doing that for the rest of my life, but I know precisely why I didn’t run away last year. I was ready, fully ready, I know that. I am not a coward.

I used to have a lot of desires and instincts. But eventually, with the passage of time and suffering, many of them faded away. And only two were left. Only two prevailed. They were: Desire for truth & Hate for society.
Society is my proverbial enemy, my arch enemy. But I am not a psychopath […]
