When I think about it, I don't particularly dislike you Nate. I actually enjoy your persistent bullshit, and I'll probably never find anyone else that plays the same mind games as you do.

We're talking about resilience.
I wrote a piece back then called The Process of Self Transformation. It's an opportunity for real change, except it's only for better or worse. Worst, if transformation for the better doesn't happen, and it literally starts with knowing what to desire It's not desiring the impossible, it's desiring what we need and it'll be possible if we need it to be.
Something traumatic happens and it's really messing with the subject mentally like an endless nightmare. It's then the subject is 'forced' to make changes to their ego for better or worse. Better if they can overcome it, and worse if they remain stuck with a situation that cannot be undone. I knew a woman who never got over her Father's death, DECADES later, and she keeps this old car she can't afford to fix and it's a real burden on her as it's rusting away. I wonder if she even still has it.
I don't mean to cast insults to anyone, but when people commit suicide, it's because they lacked wisdom and deserve no respect, while those who been through the same thing and overcome it, are very wise and deserve/command respect simply by being able to sleep at night.
A resilient character who been to hell and back worries less about bad things happening as opposed to someone who has little to no experience with trauma. While it's never pleasant, to one who had a beautiful transformation harsh shit hurts less.
Exactly, it's about resilience, and without that a person crumbles in the face of adversity. Imo, suicide is the ultimate act of cowardice and weakness, unless the person is terminal and the suffering becomes too much. It's justified then, evidenced by liberal euthanasia laws in many countries. Although that too is becoming tainted by a worrying aspect of the woke mind virus infecting the western world.
Did you put this 'The Process of Self Transformation' here on this forum? I'm curious. Tried substring searching titles and posts but not sure the search function actually works. You always had such an opposite world view to me. I drove myself nuts for a while trying to change your mind on a few things until suddenly I saw things from a very different perspective. There's something essential about that, when it comes to letting go.
