Peace, Love and Harmony aren't universal.

Yeah, I suppose this is a whine...

What's up with the bad ass brutes around here? I've come across a few of them (two have been placed on the VIP ignore list). Got a fire lit under their asses or something?

 

Just ignore them. They are just children. They have no idea what they`re talking about.
Their ego is in the way. It blocks their vision.
Peace, Love and Harmony are universal, but the ways of gaining it are not.
Everyone loves. But some people only love themselves.

Fight the fire with water. Be kind to the people who are mean to you.

 

I like your answer, it's comforting and encouraging. But I'm worried about Humanity, I think evil has an unrelenting death grip. Some sort of black plague or something. Why have we normalized hatred and brutality? Why is it so socially acceptable?

 

to be more of a challenge to do Gods will, which is the opposite of that...
this physical reality isnt meant to be easy.. ive heard it called "the weight"
its part of the master plan

 

I think hate and acting upon it isn't as social acceptable as with most other emotions. We may continue trying to normalize it at times because it is as natural of an emotion as fear or love etc. and also just as natural to act upon that emotion.

 

"the weight" ...

I'm not sure what it means but it reminds me of "the greater the sin, the heavier the weight". I've felt weightless and I've felt something so inexplicably heavy that it would probably be the full weight of the entire world, if that were even possible. Weightlessness was by far the better feeling, of course!

I don't know, maybe it's just a dark rift of some sort. But I'm real tired of fight and battle mentality, which has become the cultural / societal norm. It's such a violent energy.

 

how much does your spirt, soul; mind "weigh" lol we'll all leave this weight eventually. hopefully for somewhere better. if you wish to do gods will that is =]
i dont think thats normal. maybe you live in a bad area?

 

There are some illusions that the common people just cant see through.
Many people think that cruelty equals strength.. but this is false.
actually... the opposite is the truth.
Its easy to be cruel.
But its hard to be kind when people are cruel to you.

 

I usually just try to laugh at and shrug off the type of person who constantly wants to battle and fight. Its their problem, not mine.

 

So, I'm not the only one who's "whining" about grief in society, in Humanity.

I'm not sure what it is, or why. It's probably all too complicated to reduce it to micro-specific causes. It's everywhere...

Most common line on YouTube: "go kill yourself"

The hatred and the violence are too much. I don't consider those things to be "freedom".

 

i am reading that book First and Last Men (i quit reading it for a few weeks, then i skipped a few pages in the beginning...it was really dry at first).

anyways, he makes the point that humans have a wide variety of personalities. that is what makes us different from other species, we have a wide spectrum.

(that's when he's comparing us to the Martians...which are fucking bizarre!)
let me know if you see this gendorf, or i'll have to PM you instead

 

Actually I think it is more a matter of Hip Forums not conforming to your preconceived notions of what a forum such as this should be or the types of people that frequent it.

It is just microcosm of the "real world" with all the warts and freckles.

 

If you look at human behavior, as Desmond Morris does and writes about, I think it is just Tarzan Chest thumping.....although, some people in life have serious mental/anger issues, too....

 

2 of his eye opening books are called...
The Naked Ape

The Human Zoo

 

So step back and take a bird's eye view...It is human behavior science study. I find this hard to do, though, when I have emotionally invested....and to not emotionally invest at times, is hard to do, so I hear you, again.

 

actually most of them are old men (at least it seems that way here)

 

Well, BBAD...I don't see age. I see people.....and their energy......

 

That's a good way to be.

 

funny you mention that because my first impression of you was a 14 year old but its changed lately to a guess of early sixties lol

 

Some people are just seriously mean. Not referring to this place, just in general. I encountered someone irl today that was just pure evil and hatred for humanity on steroids… it honestly made me cry it just breaks my heart that people are so nasty even when its not directed at me I feel effected. Well I gave him a piece of my mind, he later came to me to apologize. Have to forgive because I can't hold a grudge forever and my desire is to be in harmony… I don't think you have to shrug it off, though that may work for some people, it definitely doesn't always work for me. Hold true to yourself and don't let someone steal your sunshine without a fight.
