As I age and daily responsibilities continue, I've noticed my thoughts are kinda grim. Not to say there's no point to life, but sometimes it seems that way. Like we are just here doing shit for no real purpose. The elite managed to make it seem like we have purpose, but it's for them more so than us average folk. Tossing chump change to keep people quieted for the most part so the continuation of using people can continue.
But when universal energy (magic) makes its message available, then a little more hope (sunshine) is added into life.

Damn right you are, Ashima, with what you said, except postmodern capitalism does not use people in the way modern capitalism did, it rather abuses them/us. During capitalism, there was still fulfillment and satisfaction in and through consumption. People worked hard to afford new things (that were brand-new and the first copies of an original blueprint in those days). Today, we have (almost) everything (thanks to cheap mass production), and only work to consume more goods we don't actually need, such as a newer, updated version of the previous version of an already obsolete version of a no one will ever recall the other twenty versions of the one and only original and long forgotten one. We are only keeping a vacuum construct called capitalism going. In reality, however, we are in a simulation of capitalism, so to speak with Baudrillard, where there are only versions of versions exit. There is no more originality to go back to. That's why we are suffering, I suppose, craving for something realer than that what has become our reality. Don't let it get too close to you, Ashima. It's a fucked up world, we live in. No longer cocks in a wheel, but wheels in the cocks. ;-) God Bless! And let me virtually hug you! |

Our sense of purpose comes from our need and want to survive. The survival of life and human beings. Dont your children give you purpose? The Will is to thrive, the sense of purpose is to survive- sometimes they get switched around.
Otherwise, you can find purpose in anything.

Ofc my children & grandchild keep me going. This wasnt so much about me, but thoughts regarding purpose. I'm sure my job (I call it working for China)& the panic pandemic experienced, along with the businesses being destroyed from riots helps create this thinking.
Seen & experienced a fuckton in 1 year time. And I really don't want to experience that again. We still have the trial to get through and a takedown of an autonomous criminal zone and I hope to God it stays peaceful and safe

Based on the things you write about, it seems you dont. |

On purpose, I do have to constantly remind myself of this quote from the Book of Mormon:
"Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy."

Adam fell? Or did he feel in past tense form, felt?

Reflecting on my life, now that I am in a healthy state... God, so much suffering, so much anguish, so much despair. It was like I was thrown into a pit with hot oil and knives cutting me. I am so grateful to be stable now, and almost in a good mood again. I spent the last 8 years in a Hell of ill design.

Yeah its crazy to be at this level and look back and see how far into pain and depression and madness I had fallen. Even when I said I was doing better, I see that I was still really sick.

People do lie about how they are doing or just don't talk about it out of embarrassment or fear of judgement and probably plenty of other reasons.
Men are more likely to not share such. Although women do that too, but likely due to past traumas. Sometimes they open up.
I just found something out about my mother recently which explains a lot! She'll be 70 and I had inquired about this at times over the years when discussions around it come up and she said no.

I think part of it is the "Im ok" attitude that we want to present to ourselves. Our spirit is such that we endure the hardships and try to be optimistic. Coming from the place of sickness, I was doing better, but with every level of improvement, I see just how sick I was. One doesnt realize the severity until one is able to see a better health perspective.
