I have held the belief for a long time that the psychological branch of the pharmaceutical industry is effectively conning the greater population into believing that certain mental traits (that may be an evolutionary development, but I digress) are in fact illnesses. And they feed the brains of these people complicated strings of chemicals in order to maintain the status-quo of the super elite. I am not saying ever mentally ill person is really just incredibly lucid, some people are bonkers, yes. They medicate you for everything. Chemicals for being nervious. Chemicals for depression. Chemicals for 'unusual' thought patterns (ADD/ADHD/so on) They sedate the minds of people. They have medication to make sane people feel better about a crazy world. What is pain? People feel physical pain as way of their body telling them there is something wrong. If you step on a sharp stone you get a blast of pain.. this tells you to take your foot off of the stone and tend to the wound. What about emotional pain? If you are depressed, it is not always because the chemicals in you head are wrong. Your depression is your minds way of telling you there is something wrong. Either with the way you live or the world you live in. With the fallacies you have been force-fed or the lies you feed yourself. It is telling you there is something wrong, and you need to take your foot off of the figurative stone and tend the wound. I have heard a lot about the 60's. People knew that something was wrong, and they were starting to get pissed off. Remember the Black Panthers? The War Protestors who took to the streets and made damn sure they were heard? They'd all be on Abilify or Crack today, depending on social standing and how the super elite see fit to deal with them. I know I am somewhat rambling, I haven't been taking my ADHD medication. My point is embrace your pain and fears. They are there for a reason. Don't take a pill to make it go away. Because if you can not overcome and understand your pain and fears, the root that is causing them will control your life in one way or the other. Never look away.
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small and the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all.. Hmmm, so tell me, are you really saying anything new ?? Peace
Why are you so obsessed with everyone not being the first person to say the things they've said? I suppose it's easier to throw out generic belittlements than create a half meaningful thought of your own. Get a fucking clue. Peace.
i confess, i have very little respect for drug addicts who complain about the boring drugs that keep certain people from cracking up mentally. not all are good, but i'd rather hear it from someone clean and sober.
Oh but mamaK! that is to commit the logical fallacy of appeal to the person! The truth is the truth, no matter who says it.
I'm not a drug addict. I smoke pot, pop a pill every once in a blew moon, and I like to trip. Haven't smoked pot in almost 3 months, haven't had a real trip in over two years (excluding the DXM thing I did out of boredom for a couple days not to long ago) and I popped maybe 4 pills in the last year. I'm addicted to cigarettes, is that still enough to make my opinions meaningless?
doesn't matter. there's just something that makes my skin crawl when people take the fun ones then gripe about the boring ones.
You're onto a good few points, negative emotions actually are our bodies ways of explaining something in our lives needs to be fixed or improved (certain conditions), it's big in certain spiritual teachings that deal with handling feelings with common sense. Most primitive example is feeling 'bad' when you 'lie' or have 'lied'. Medication really is a crutch for certain illnesses. Yes there is the legit psychosis and schizophrenia out there.. but things like depression and ADHD are just slapped on everybody these days. I don't think I know anybody who doesn't have a disorder by today's standards. But you gotta add this all into the equation of how these days are. Everything needs to happen at a flick of a switch, fast this fast that. Very few actually try to learn coping methods, they'd rather just take a magic pill, to either fix them or feel fucked up. The problem is on both sides. Giver and receiver.
I agree. Free thought isn't anywhere near as common as people would like to believe. I know that's not your point by it's my take on the root issue here.
Ouch !!! Geeez you seem very thin of skin, all I did was ask a question as to whether this is new or not.. Ooh I'd like to have fucking clue, do they reproduce ?? I wanna watch em.. Peace
Well it's not the first time you've seen it necessary to point out that I wasn't the first person in the history of human thought to point out something. Which makes me wonder, what is your point? I assumed it was malicious, responded in kind. Someone else said something about liking to have the upper hand. Doesn't mean your thin skinned, my friend.
malicious ??????? Me?????? parish the thought, you should calm down, I have no point I'm blunt.. Now what about those fucking clues ?? I still wanna watch em fuck.. Peace
