apho, why do you keep quoting all these wise men a mistic nuts, its all bull shit .
Is it? You quoted some diabolical saying at me 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' - which frankly I think is bullshit - unless it's referring to people having 'a little knowledge' - & meaning they should educate themselves & get more, because it's dangerous to be ignorant.
You can find perspectives that contradict most things; I don't think there is any subject which has only one fixed view.
I am not going to feel bad, or ashamed for using my brain & my intellect, to educate myself & be the best I can be. I want to better myself & use as much as possible the means at my disposal.
I have a friend who is unable to stop drinking. I have had to distance myself from him to a degree. He is a good man - but he is destroying his life. He gets upset that I have a wide range & use of the English language & comprehensive vocabulary. He gets upset that I can debate things in an intelligent way. I have gone on at him to educate himself with more basic English - he can't read or write properly, he doesn't have a good grasp of the English language - despite being English himself! Such levels of education are common nowadays. He tries to make me feel bad because I use my brain & want to be educated - I get the same from you.
It almost seems that there is a trend; that people want to pride themselves on stupidity. I don't see the pride in being uneducated or remaining ignorant of things we could learn - & I'm certainly not going to stop trying to gain knowledge & educate myself because you say - 'it's all bullshit'! - Come to a deep understanding of these subjects yourself & then maybe you'd be in a position to tell me it's bullshit.
of course you feel stronger now your not downing 20 pints of booze an countless spliffs , which on your own admistion got through a bag full not so long ago.
I dunno - 8 years is a long time really.
but you can an do flog the computer all day looking to drag down the corperations that are keeping you alive , all being not how you want to live ,but alive not DEAD,shit i hate meds an all that go with them . but i dont have a choise. ive tried hipnosis load of bollocks . therapy , the same ,some people are born to need meds like blood pressure ,diabetics,heart probs. why not mental probs .
LOL Corporations aren't keeping me alive - they are destroying the planet.
Diabetes cannot be accurately compared to a MH condition - you wouldn't compare diabetes to schizophrenia! i.e. A doctor would not say to a Diabetic patient that his diabetes was like schizophrenia!
One is a purely physical condition - the other has never been proved to be.
all these gurus are 1 man like you, do you think they would listen to you so why listen to them.
I am going to listen far more to someone who is highly intelligent & educated; & who has done the work & thinking into certain fields - over someone who hasn't. It isn't a case of 'these gurus are 1 man like you' - no man is an island - there are certain traditions of thought & fields of study - I am unaware of any member of the 'intelligentsia' who has ever worked in isolation.
have you seen a lot of those save yourself from depression adds,some nob up a mountain in a £1000,000 retreat on your money ,after all your years abuse just tell me how you think you going to have a normal life.
No I haven't seen any of those ads - have you got a link or 'U Tube' video to one of them?
I have a very 'normal' & full life. As full & normal as it can be.
It is entirely your choice how you address your 'MH condition' - I haven't once told you; nor anyone else what they should or shouldn't be doing.
