Been hurt by someone lately?

Take a breath and acknowledge that 95% of what someone else does has absolutely nothing to do with you. Yes--even if you feel that they've talked about you, misused you or done you other wrongs, still their main concern isnot you. It's them. Trust this: realizing that other people with no "investment" in you also have no "interest" in you--and that their activity probably has nothing to do with you--is a big part of forgiving and being less paranoid. So spend extra time with this one idea:"Convince yourself that the other person is pretty ignorant when it comes to you and your feelings--and so, you need not worry about them!"

The arrow of time - men wanting to reverse it.

It's not even worth finishing reading,  I get it, they want it to be like it was in a primitive society...  The arrow of time means that can't happen unless we move forward to some fallout/instability where it's more about physical strength than anything else. It's OK to have opinions, it's not if you are breaking the laws and inflicting upon others who didn't choose.

Hurting People Hurt People

If someone is mean to us, we take it personally,  but what if you knew that someone had just lost a loved one like a spouse or a parent? Do we still take it personally,  or do we rationalise that their pain is being transfered onto us? There's a good chance that most mean deeds spring from outside pain and unresolved feelings.
Hurting people hurt people. Try not to take it personally, otherwise you'll be hurting too and may pass that on.

Hurting people hurt people, hateful people hurt even more

NO JAIL TIME FOR 'SMALL TIME' DRUG DEALER

http://www.northerndailyleader.com.au/story/3201504/no-jail-for-small-scale-drug-dealer/?cs=157

One of my 'friends' posted a comment to this (above) article - here is the comment she made full:

Absolute bullshit you do the crime you should do the time I dont have any sympathy or time for anyone who sells or does drugs put the bitch in jail fuck her she deserves to rot in jail no matter how much she supplied dealed


Let's stop and think for a second... the first part is an expression over her emotion and dissatisfaction of the situation - fair enough - clearly it violates her identity on some level... but the next part...
"put the bitch in jail fuck her she deserves to rot in jail no matter how much she supplied dealed [sic]"

I translate that to meaning - 'regardless of the degree of your crime, i want you to die in jail, and not just that I want you to die, but you deserve to die regardless of the degree of crime'

Hurting people hurt people, hateful people hurt even more people! Lets say selling drugs are hurting people (that's a whole other topic for another day drugs vs anything else we use to escape reality and alter our minds) does it really help saying 'kill them'? does anyone want to know why she ended up dealing in the first place? Was she abused as a child, was she raped as a girl, was she outcast from society as a women because she lacked 'paper smarts' was she discriminated against because of her race, or social economic position, did she have a child early in life.... or does any of that not matter? should she "rot in jail regardless". And if a judge, a lawyer or doctor do drugs and 'deal' (providing to other friends colleagues) should they too rot in jail? or somehow because they've got there 'life together' on they outside they should somehow be spared? That's class discrimination if you answered in the affirmative.

Hurting people hurt people, hateful people hurt even more people! Do you make the world a better place by hating on the people that hurt it?

Is Helping Hurting?

A radical notion...  Is helping causing more problems than it solves?  What is 'helping' anyway? The dictionary defines it as; make it easier or possible for (someone) to do something by offering them one's services or resources.
But who decides who needs it,  or the definition of 'easier'? Why do we help?...  And is helping really helping if we do it to help ourselves more? If we help based on our perspectives...  Maybe we will do more harm than good...  If we asked people how they wanted to be helped instead of deciding your way of helping and accepting their way...  But that starts to lead to a different topic, where is the line between helping and being used? Where someone doesn't need help,  but uses as an excuse to be lazy or get further ahead.  Such a simple concept,  or so I thought,  but sounds like something under the surface that is very very complicated.
