When I do watch nature I get a wave of melancholic sadness at how much we destroy it and are squandering our great potential as a species. And when I try and get people to see its their own deeper profoundly unhealthy psychology at the core of why that is, they attack me for it.
Yep, I know what you mean. I’ve spent my life trying to spread a humane analysis— from Civil rights to anti-war to women’s rights and gay rights and Native Rights to the rights of Mother Earth to 911 was an inside job and Bush and Chaney war criminals, and most usually got back negative responses. Then I got sick and had to heal myself and found a way to do it that meant not so much changing others as looking at and changing myself and how I reject the Good. It’s there, I just have to search it out. It’s incredibly difficult but well worth it. homeopathics Homeopathy helped immensely. That and acupuncture and yoga. I’m only just now trying to do meditation—incredibly hard for my race brain. And knowing that there is a force for good in the universe and I need to cooperate with it.
How about trying to understand people's reaction to your attempts on correcting them? Use your empathy. Don't you feel attacked when someone go against your views, your perspective? Don't you try to defend yourself? Why would they be so much different that you? No one likes to be criticized, criticism is perceived as an attack, it's that natural logos that tells you to automatically activate defense rather than examine yourself or validity of your claims/arguments/opinions.
Sure it is crucial to distinguish an honest question from an attempt to hurt and defeat the other. It's sad to see the world of human/and not only human/ social interaction as an ultimately pointless competition of pety egotistic interests that lead to universal war and destruction.
I guess all we have are these rare moments of happiness, that bliss which comes from being struck by the beauty or intricacy of life/nature. Antideps help, imo.
Surely it is better to work to change the awful circumstances of life than to simply desensitize oneself to these circumstances. It would be monstrous to imply that the solution to e.g. palestinians' suffering is to medicate them with some soma/?/ in order to make them just allright with their situation. Same as it would outrageous to suggest that all the auschwitz prisoners needed was prozac, paracetamol, a bit of coke and maybe some xanax so they could get some good sleep :D
If watching nature is just one more thing that brings you down, than maybe reading or watching some thought provoking stuff? I met some kindred souls among writers and that was and still often is, my last resort when i feel painfully alienated from society.
The only time you can be insulted by a critique is if you resonate with its truth..If people lie about you there's no insult..the problem is you all want a "reputation" because that translates to survival in the group tribe or cult..
I get that humans can't exist in a vacume, that we all have to relie on each other for basic needs but the way people are and act now I rather not interact with them at all..drop the package off on the porch and fuck off.
I'm kidding ..I actual like people and like experiencing new personalities one on one,,.usually they are decent folk,,,but in groups they become tribal and ugly,,,more than a few people in a group and it all comes out. Rivalry and peacocking to strut around as king of some hill. You can wax away at your own Pollyanna visions as a means of head in the clouds ignorance like cancer devoid of its ability to recognize its host is dying all you want but that ignorance will be your own downfall.
Does it translate into 'the only time you can feel attacked is if you resonate with it truth'?
And you attacked me! hey world come and see what a horrible person chaz is, he/she attacks me every single time I kindly try to help them', poor me, poor me poor me 😭😭😭😭😭
I also find it interesting that as soon as any of you feel slightly chalanged you go into fits of condecending behavior patterns and mocking. You took it personal not I...It's so easy for you people to feel slighted and triggered, so if I used the word we instead of you..maybe that would have been a safer space for you..my apologies
i didn't feel attacked too badly. i tried to show you that any criticism might be seen as an attack. you might be right it was rather patronizing of me and not too kind.
The problem is you think your advice is help from some position of superiority ... Did you resonate with the critique too much? If it did not apply to you then why be upset? Triggered?

sorry, i missed these two last comments of yours.
i didn't feel attacked too badly. i tried to show you that any criticism might be seen as an attack. you might be right it was rather patronizing of me and not too kind.
The problem is you think your advice is help from some position of superiority ... Did you resonate with the critique too much? If it did not apply to you then why be upset? Triggered?
If you feel attacked its on you...stop playing a victim
I meant it all in a general sense you took it personal
