Being able to detach logic & my emotions. (Which is a huge problem these days because everyone is so focused on how they feel 😂)

---

I am able to look at people as individuals without attaching my personal relationship or feelings to them. The amount of times in conversations I am the one that has to say, “of course it hurts. Of course it sucks. But we’re not talking about what it feels like. We are talking about from a realistic logical viewpoint of what’s actually going on despite how we feel/think/want. You can’t just protect yourself just because you don’t like the way something feels. You need to accept the reality of the situation.”

---

I have notice that a lot people have this issue when they speak about their family, they can’t detach from the fact they are family. Always a sentence that ends up justifying whatever their families behavior is/are just because they can’t just look at them from an outside logical standpoint.

I'm on a heavy relapse streak at the moment. I've never gone further than about 20 days without relapsing. I want to change but I'm struggling with the mentally with the whole process. Any tips to grow stronger, stamp out these petty urges and free myself from the chains of my urges? In my journey i find cold showers verry helpful.if i had an urge i go under the cold shower and i stayed there for like 5-7 minuites.the cold shower will gave you a shock and you will not thinking about the urge.Or you could go out to public places.you will not fap at the centre of a big mall( i hope)and you will not think about sexual things after 15 minuites because it will not be comfortable.you can go for a run or workout.if youre a pro at meditation, you can meditate, and realize this is just a thought too and you can just let go. Connect with the breath. Meditate daily and alternate sitting and walking meditation when you have time. Sit 15/walk 15/sit 15. Fill your mind with spiritual books and teachings. This is a mental battle and we need all the encouragement we can get. Society doesn't encourage what we are doing so it is best to listen to monks/nuns who are living at a higher and deeper level of spirituality.
I have a wonderful boyfriend since 6 years now (I am 22). Because of our conflicting schedules and the fact we are living separately, I don't get to see him very often those last months. I am happy if I manage to get sex once per month. I am not sure how to make this work out better, I am in medical school and he is very busy as well. Anyways, he has always been there for me as my best friend, he understands me, he is just perfect in every way... However, I talk to all those good-looking men on a daily basis, it is hard to resist the temptation to flirt, I might even do it unconsciously... Of course, I would never cheat. I am just tired of getting those mental images of me having sex with male colleague/friends... Day-dreaming about how it would feel while knowing it could never happen. I can't even concentrate on my work sometimes. I am just very unhappy. I wanted to get that out there. Thanks. Majority of teenagers are addicted to PMO or slave to their sexual urges. It really needs courage to accept your weakness and determination to come out of this addiction. I'm glad you all guys took this decision to become a better version of yourself. Majority of people out there who are slave of this addiction don't wanna talk about it and treating this addiction just as an excuse to escape their reality. Don't fall into this category.

Depends what peace or freedom means. Does freedom mean the ability to do whatever to whomever without consequence? Does peace mean that there would be nothing wrong with the world, but you aren't allowed to do what you chose without permission? If that is the detailed choices I would chose peace. If not explain in more details and I'll update my answer.
Freedom. I went to a Catholic School and a teacher told me that "There is no such thing as negative emotions in heaven, pain suffering, hunger has all vanished." Well Naturally that got me thinking, (not religious btw but I like to be philosophical once in a while) Well does that mean humans are incapable of creating suffering for one another? Because then that means that people in heaven wouldn't be who they are on earth, they would be in some sort of alternative state of being rather than our current one where we can experience a whole spectrum of emotions rather than the ones that are positive. This could just be translated as a world at peace as well. Two people can have very different ideas as to what peace would be, no disagreements would require everyone to believe and think in the same way. Even in a high school in order to have peace you would have to understand how everyone is working and understand their intentions. Peace would only be attainable if everyone lived as part of a docile hivemind of no straying of opinion like it's 1984, The WBC or Aldous Huxley's a brave new world. Freedom on the other hand is experiencing the world around you in the purest sense. You will be angry out raged and heartbroken. People will kill. People will steal and burn and rape but a the end of the day you have a choice you can say no. You can decide that this is wrong because it hurts other people and rather than not experience suffering at all you can learn from it. Generations of starvation taught our ancestors to raise their own crops and it was thousands of people dying of infections and disease which taught us to clean our knives before putting them in people. Hardship caused by the choices of others made us evolve and adapt. With peace there is no progress. Freedom is reality. the only way to live. There's nothing wrong with the idea of peace. Hell, most religions even believe that peace is only achievable after great destruction. The things that would have to happen in order to get peace make peace less worthy of having. "Equilibrium" is one of my favorite movies. They have "peace" but are not allowed to feel emotion. So they are slaves. I hope one day we will be able to live all together in peace.

You're loving a glorified fairytale with moral truths used to control the gullible and fearful. It's delusional, not based in reality and promotes weakness and needlessly submissive behavior. I am my own God because in the end I am responsible for myself and no one else.

It can also be easily manipulated by those in power. Look at the overturning of Roe v. Wade as an example. 6 out of the 9 people on the bench are Christian theocrats who want to turn the US into a Christian Nationalist shithole. Legislating from the bench. They all said Roe was precedent but then when they had a clear majority, they all conveniently decided to change their minds and overturn it and are looking at gay marriage and inter-racial marriage next. They use "its not in the Constitution" as an argument to cover up being power hungry. This shows hypocrisy and contradictions at an egregious level.

This is what has turned me from atheist to anti-theist.

Because of its high concentration of cutting-edge technology companies, Israel has been dubbed the Silicon Valley of the Middle East — or Silicon Wadi ("wadi" means "valley" in Hebrew).

Many would say that the historical events that Jewish people suffered through were the catalysts of the founding of the State of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and that they had powerful influences on the country's technological prowess, culture and economic success. Israel started as a country of survivors and immigrants who were entrepreneurial risk-takers. The country's geopolitical reality, having no allies surrounding it, has created a country-wide mindset that excellence is an element of survival. The country's industrial expansion is due in large part to its strong national economy and access to foreign markets to fuel subsequent expansion. Over time, locally grown citrus fruits transitioned into advanced technology exports.

He muttered mid-sentence, thinking and watching the female. Curious that the world would bestow the gift on a person with a heart of gold...perhaps it was an unjust punishment? any sin? whatever it was he wouldn't turn out to be so surprised. Life was a cruel reality. People like her were very unusual in that they end up being corrupted the wrong way in the end.
He would never believe receiving a comment like that from a human, but there it was. Her, with her good deeds and kindness, without judging for his terrible species.

⠀⠀❝It's an honorable conscience you have there, woman...❞ The conspicuous sound of trinkets indicated that the man closed the distance between them being only a few centimeters, face to face. His free pale hand gently cupped a strand of her hair. It was intimidating.
⠀⠀❝ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇᴀꜱʏ ᴘʀᴇʏ… Be careful.❞ From one second to another ended up giving her a threatening expression, followed by taking a step back and regaining the former composure.

⠀⠀⠀❪❀❫ ⠀Being at the right distance, he could better preview what her condition was and find out what was special about that woman. Her ability to see between mortal reality and that of monsters, being one more reason to smile gracefully. He was silently grateful no longer being pointed at with the light, likewise, stowed the sharp weapon in a scabbard that hung from his belt with a silver trim.

⠀❝Isn't this the first time?❞ He blurted out a rhetorical question. A soft voice, low and dangerous, acting matter-of-factly as if it was nothing impressive.
He came to notice her crippled leg, tilting his head slightly. It's not like it was his business, but this girl had a gift that he couldn't ignore. It had aroused a certain curiosity inside of him.

And he found it funny how she was heading towards his person.

The umbrella lowered to one side revealing the individual's facial appearance: a young, handsome man, lacking one eye and the other an intense red color. So intense in that moment, of his own volition, that would be able to convey to her the truth that he too was an entity, a ᴠᴇʀʏ ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜꜱ ᴏɴᴇ.

⠀❝What made you think that wandering around, here, at night, was a good option?❞⠀ He inquired, smiling slightly mischievously.

#HistoricalAnalysis #ReadingSomeHistory 🙂

Reading the history makes me sad because it gives me a glimpse of reality. By studying the rise and fall of empires, nations, and communities; you get to understand that humans have done so much cruelty to one another in many ways. It is a hard pill to take.
I feel bad about the fall of Muslim nations because they chose to abandon Islamic laws, teachings, and methods that became the reason of their failure. When you forget Allah then Allah will forget you. Without God Almighty's help, success in both lives is unachievable. Non-Muslims are given an edge, they are given the success of this world even when they intentionally choose to be on the wrong path.

---

But Muslims on the other hand cannot accomplish anything without having the essence of pure faith. It is a great blessing for us that our failures and troubles of this life act as a live reminder for us to realize our shortcomings and get back on the right track. And surely, historians really fabricated a big portion of what happened. They deliberately mixed in their personal agendas while recording the history of events. That's why a sound mind can never agree with everything narrated; as it's so hard today to verify the reality of those events. Yet, there is no doubt in that millions to billions of humans died and suffered extremely due to the ambitions, greed, immaturity and tyranny of the few. 💔
