/dis/ - Destiny, Infinity, and Singularity

Serious Discussing only


【1:2】Karma (1)

Do other Hikarins believe in karma? It's a concept I find hard to oppose and at the same time hard to really believe in or support. There could be collective karma, but sometimes it is downright cruel in cases like assault. At the same time, it is to me that's easily one that can get gullible people if reincarnation is a factor. I've seen that good people tend to be better off in life, in a strange way. Guess it could be placebo effect, or just coincidences. People who are worse off, tend to be at the top, but their life looks miserable to me.

I do not believe in karma, no. I believe in Christ and the just judgement of the Lord.

【2:3】What are your thoughts on the future? (2)

What do you think the world will be like a few decades from now? Do you think it will be better? Worse? There are a lot of bad odds stacked against our current generation, but I think zoomers are waking up to the absurdity of the whole system and will make some major changes in our lifetimes. I do not think things are irreparably screwed, but I do think things are going to get noticeably worse before they get better. I mean in most aspects; culturally, economically, environmentally, politically, everything. This is not meant to be a doompost or a thread promoting nihilism, I actually am hopeful for the future, but I do really think we are entering the hard times that create strong men. The top earners are squeezing every other class below them, people are struggling for housing and wages and struggling to assert a financial future. Our culture, trust, morality, is all degrading at levels not seen in history. The institutions and ideas that hold society together are either being corrupted or just losing relevancy. I do not think these are issues that will be fixed within our lifetime necessarily, like I said I think they will get worse, but I do think the generations after us will make things right in the end.

>>4 I am not really optimistic. It looks to me as if most younger people neglect participating in more bureaucratic forms of education. It really disturbs me to witness the normalization and the promotion of cluster B personalities in the system. I don't know whats going to happen, but it doesn't look good. We are more connected and yet more disconnected in general; social media removed unity in thought, I don't know what's to hope for. We really need a belief system, because the world in general looks bleak to me.

>>

We find ourselves at a pivotal moment in history where the sinners are cast aside for the righteous. In other words, those who cling to desperation and greed will miss what's happening now and will be doomed to failure. It's pointless to predict what the future will hold. One can only guess what will happen, but a better option is to make a choice on what is happening right now in front of you. I know that the present also pushes back at us, too, but let us not forget what we can do to fight back, our desire in our hearts. Our passion and creativity. I myself find myself the most successful in life when I am working my hardest to create what I want to and what I love doing. That is why it is essential not only to be unafraid to make decisions but also to have unwavering determination that you will come out on top in the end. Forget all these doomsayers who try to predict this dreadful future! Don't let them stop you from doing what you love. Always focus on what you love doing and you will succeed in the end.

【3:5】The purpose of music (4)

Was music an offshoot of language? Or language that of music? It's always been intriguing to me, how the two seem adjacent and attached to each other in some weird way. Would you be able to imagine your life without music? There are some places in the world that condemn music, but ordinary people still practice it. What are your thoughts, would we have gotten far with, or without it? A lot of older people tend too, of course, dislike musicians. Could you guys imagine yourself without music?

>>

life without music would sound like hell

>>

Music is a language. Learning to read music activates the same parts of your brain as learning a new language. I would consider it a language of music, using your words. I listen to music every day and probably would have went crazy without it. Music has the spiritual power to draw out your emotions, inspire creativity, hone your focus, unify you with others. There is something transcendental about it. Luv moosic.

>>12 How'd you start out with learning music? I wanted to try to read sheet music too, just never got around to it.

>>

>>13 I learned in my highschool choir class, although I don't entirely remember nowadays. I'm sure there are tons of resources online, but I don't know of any off the top of my head to recommend you. You'll have to go search them out yourself.

【4:4】Try to convince myself id rather feel inmense sadness than like a zombie and i dont know if its true (3)

I keep telling myself id rather feel something even if its awful than to feel completely flat and numb and i dont really know if thats true. Ive been on meds for a while but stopped recently. Yes they "worked" i suppose like i didnt have the same insane mood swings and i didnt act impulsively nor sobbed so hard over things that dont matter but is it rlly worth the numbness? Ive always been the person to say that no its not worth it. I guess its hard to understand what i mean if youve never been on similar medication but its like your emotions are literally suppressed no matter how hard you try you cant show even a sliver of the emotion you showed before you went on them. Like theres this wall between you and everything. You see something that should make you cry or laugh or feel ANYTHING and theres just. Nothing. Or like a dull echo of what it shouldve been. People tell you good news and you know youre supposed to be happy but you cant access it. Bad things happen and you know you should be sad but its like trying to feel through layers of static Yet now i doubt because ive been feeling so overwhelmed recently and it makes me curse just the way the world is and our scientific advancement if that makes ANY sense. Why are the only options to living with a lot of mental illnesses suffering or not feeling at all? Like we can put people in space and create ai and split atoms but we cant figure out how to make someone stable without turning them into a fucking zombie? It feels so cruel. Youre either drowning or youre empty. Either everything is too much or nothings enough Since stopping the meds everythings been coming back in waves and its terrifying and exhausting but also i feel real again? But that realness comes with all the bad things too. The crying and the way small things feel like the end of the world. And i dont know which version of myself is worse to live as. The one who feels too much or the one who feels nothing Is there actually a middle ground or is that just something people say to make you feel better about having to choose between two kinds of hell Do you think society even takes mental illness seriously or are we all just expected to either medicate ourselves into functioning or suffer quietly? Like where do we even go from here when the "solutions" we have are this inadequate?

When I was younger, I took an antidepressant and an antipsychotic at the same time. I understand what you mean by emotions being suppressed. I actually ended up doing the same thing, deciding that I'd rather feel too much than not feel anything. It was a very rough time afterwards and I made a lot of bad and impulsive decisions. It took me quite a few years to get it together. Medication is not something you are meant to depend on and take forever, it's a means of stabilizing you as a short-to-mid term solution. You are in charge of your own mental health and it's up to you to improve your environment and your mindset and your habits in a way that develops long-term improvement. That's what I told myself at least, and it worked quite well. Went from a self-harming, angry, depressed, manipulative, stoner, NEET to a pretty well functioning member of society with healthy habits and a real future ahead of me. Although it took some time and a lot of struggle.

>>6 Thanks for the response yay it’s good to hear from someone who feels like they’ve come out the other side because that feels a little impossible right now. Like i know logically meds are supposed to be temporary and that i’m supposed to be working on myself and my environment and all but when youre in it it just feels like theres rly no way out,,,,, Impulsive decisions terrify me the most and i already feel that pull again. Part of me knows im probably going to fuck some things up now that i’m off them but i can’t go back i rlly can’t bleh How long did it take you to actually stabilize without the meds? Like was there a point where you could feel things normally? and what kind of things did you change about your environment and habits? Guess i’m trying to figure out what that even looks like when everything feels so overwhelming

>>7 You wil continue to make impulsive decisions regardless. Even now I make impulsive decisions and purchases even with how far I've come. Not saying you should just let them happen, but at the same vein as recovering addicts, relapse is a part of the process lol. >How long did it take you to actually stabilize without the meds? Like was there a point where you could feel things normally? and what kind of things did you change about your environment and habits? Honestly it took me like 3 years to see real progress. Things got worse for me before they got better. But once you realize one day you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's extremely liberating and motivating. As for what I changed, it was an accumulation of smaller changes that had a snowball effect. I started exercising regularly, got my hygiene in check, started cooking my own meals, built a social life, engaging in productive hobbies, that kind of thing. And from there I started looking towards the future: who I wanted to be, where I wanted to be, what I wanted to do. An important thing to keep in mind is you need to do these things, like taking care of yourself and making good decisions, not because you are "motivated" to do them but because you understand they need to be done. In doing this you are building discipline.
