  • I thought we were over this tough guy talk already.

    You can live a depressing life where you tell yourself any emotion towards your current situation is not to be shown otherwise you are weak and you need to be strong.

    Or you can also accept that life is complex, feelings are valid, we are social creatures, real mental health means being vulnerable and the strongest people are the ones that can be vulnerable.

    You are complaining because people are vulnerable. You know what? That’s the most respectable shit, to talk about deep fears and strong feelings on camera, while those people know there’s some easily irritable people like you out there who “can’t stand the weak”.

    I had so many opportunities in my life to become numb, choose to suck it up, never talk about things, maybe become violent or insane, but the hardest and most sensible choice was always to be vulnerable, and everyone who doesn’t have the guts to choose that is a different kind of weak. And because I am not like you I don’t hate weak people, I listen to them, I learn from them and help them improve likewise.

    TL;DR that is one of the most ignorant takes I’ve heard in a while.



  • I empathize with that argument because it is reminiscent of family, but I still think some people need spirituality for their mental health. Turns out, when you think the world is less chaotic and more sorted out, it’s less exhausting to think about.

    I get that it’s dangerous but especially in territories stricken with poverty you get swaths of people turning to religion, and I genuinely believe that’s because everyone wants to cling to something. And at some point I really do believe to live and let live. Specifically, when we don’t know for certain, why not let people speculate?
