You have to choose what you accept in life.
Edited on Fri May-21-10 08:47 PM by RandomThoughts
Someone made a post that got me thinking about this, someone posting that some bad is going to happen, or one of those fear threads about stuff. Not something I think will happen, nor what I worry about.

But there is a reason for not worring about it.

This is how I think on it, a person has the choice if they accept what things are claimed to be. If you disagree then you stand for what you believe, no threat of wrong can change that, because you make your decision based on what you think is best.

Although you have to also learn, so that if you are wrong then you can correct the way you think on something. But being said wrong requiers education and a discussion on topics.

So you stand for what you believe, and do not back down, unless you learn a better idea. You do not back down even if someone threatens something like end of world fear stuff. That stuff should not change doing what you think is right, since an unjust world would lead to that anyways, and 'when' really is not a factor in bigger thoughts.

So you stand for what you believe, regardless of fear attempts, while learning, then you either learn some arguable better way to think on something, or you continue to support what you think is best.

Although you have to be honest with yourself.

So any fears or threats of doomsday people do not bother me, nor make me think on what I believe, because they do not make an argument against what is better, when they try to use fear.

I find that an interesting way to think on things.

1. Bad stuff has happened to me which I have to accept. When I was having trouble getting over it
I looked up how people from the holocaust healed. Apparently some simply saw themselves as unlucky. I try to live by that. If something bad happens or I remember something bad I try and say to myself I was unlucky. But I am being left alone now so that makes me lucky.

People don't deserve to have bad things happen to them. But you do have to accept some things.

2. Fixed thinking in light of evidence to the contrary
is exactly the hallmark of the teabaggers and is partly responsible for why we get into these situations--denial.

If instead you are just advocating for being an optimist, then I agree that it's a healthy attitude, as long as it's realistic.

3. I am not advocating for being an optimist.

I am saying find a way within your belief to make a difference in what you believe.

Even if impossible, that should not matter.

If your situation feels like a maze and every path seems to lead to unacceptable requirements of action, then just start breaking through the walls. If that doesn't work jump over them, or dig under them.

Don't let someone else tell you how the world will be.

Although know this, in part those attempts just serves to prove lack of existence of many things and concepts, so it actually removes the delusion most people actually live in. To be honest what most think of as reality is the delusion, and it is there to keep a person accepting something that is not acceptable.


For instance, the sequence of posts I have seen should have a correlation to fixing a paradox, but have not yet done that, therefore things have to move to another level, and it keeps going regardless of effect until things are where they are acceptable.

However such movement also blends blurs and bends reality in a way that proves certain thing that people think are reality are not.


I would say to you, accepting something not acceptable is the delusional state, and believing in a limitation, if your argument is not shown wrong, is accepting wrong.

Basically reality is not real, levels around reality are also not real, so going to keep moving till reality matches what it should, or until something teaches me that things are suppose to be that way, and there has not been an argument for that. So not staying in many realities many think on.

It is one of those, you would have to be there to understand concepts.

Although try to be nice while doing it.

Might as well play this song.

Row Row Row Your Boat.


:D


The paradox is both personal and social, because they are connected, it was personal things done wrong to me that got me to see social wrongs done. So to fix personal wrong done to me, first I would have to fix the wrongs in the world, hence the impossibleness of it. I could fix wrongs done to me by selling out, but that would not break the paradox of knowing justice must be fair while wanting justice for me. So the impossible has to be done. Since fixing personal actions against me that were not just, by not instead trying to fix world injustice would be unjust, since I am better off then most. And no this is not postulations in reality. The paradox does not allow me to advocate for myself. Basically it would be unjust to advocate for my situation without first advocating for so many other things that need fixing, and lack of justice would create a paradox not allowing asking for justice. So both in thought of what is best, and self, a form of balance, things must become more just. Note also it is a choice, I could choose to ignore justice, or what I think is better, but I choose not to do that.

Although I do get much comfort, peace and joy in things. :D

4. Actually, this is the way I've heard it goes:
There are two things in life to worry about: either you are sick or you are well.

If you are well, there's nothing to worry about.

If you are sick, there are two things to worry about: either you will live or you will die.

If you live, there's nothing to worry about.

If you die there are two things to worry about: you will either go to heaven or hell.

If you go to heaven, there's nothing to worry about.

If you go to hell, you'll be so damn busy shaking hands with friends, you won't have time to worry.

:rofl:


Really, lighten up there, sunshine. You're starting to make me worry. ;)
