My Metaphysics

[Wizard22]

I'm just not a "normie" it seems.

This is the second time you've dodged my questions in this thread, Gary.

I don't mind, since it's your thread. But it is redundant to publicly expose yourself in this way, claim to want solutions to problems, and then reject the manner by which people attempt it.

Nobody can help you, until you can help you.

Where did I claim I wanted solutions to problems?

[Wizard22]

This kind of sounds like you do:

In my beginning, there was emptiness, despair, and loneliness. From there I moved on to philosophy, only to find out that philosophy had no answers. Then I tried religion only to learn that God belonged to others and wasn't mine.

As far as I can tell, God favors the arrogant, the successful, the intelligent, the humble, the penitent, and the worshipful. And as far as I'm concerned, you all can have this world. It's a dumpster. So to all the blessed, successful, intelligent, humble, penitent, and worshipful, out there, enjoy the dumpster you've been blessed with. Cherish it and honor it. And leave me alone if you don't like me. I'm tired of taking shit because of who I am.

Maybe, if you reworded YOUR QUESTIONS here, then they might NOT get dodged.

Maybe asking QUESTIONS like, 'Did you suffer a life of constant rejection?', or, 'Why did you not marry and have kids like the rest of the normies?' MIGHT just MAKE 'that one' feel somewhat 'LESS THAN', which would OBVIOUSLY create some sort of WANT TO DODGE. Or, can you NOT YET SEE 'this'?

ALSO, by ASKING QUESTIONS 'this way', in WHAT WAY, EXACTLY, do you propose 'this' could or would create SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS here?

By the way, how are 'you' defining the 'normies' word here, EXACTLY?

Or, are you going to DODGE 'THIS QUESTION', "yourself"?

This here IS a PRIME example of one WITHOUT 'empathy'.

As can be CLEARLY SEEN here, "wizard22" has LOST ALL sense of JUST LISTENING, and/or ALL ability to just Truly LISTEN.

Just so 'you' BECOME AWARE "wizard22" SOME people just WANT TO TALK, WITHOUT "the other" WANTING TO SOLVE ANY 'thing'.

[Wizard22]

Have you yet considered Gary has problems he doesn't realize he has, or may have sublimated?

It's a common occurrence in most people. And it usually coincides selective-memory and confirmation bias.

What are you then?

Is there something not normal about you, that you would like readers here to know about, by writing here, what you think of yourself for the whole world to view? why do you need to do this, can't you just accept who you are and be done with over sharing who you are.

For example:

I'm very good looking, and smart. And I've got for real, what most girls can only dream of. I'm so blessed. I'm in a self-made glittering, shining, enviable, very high status position due to my unforgettable personality, charm and charisma, coupled with my superior intelligence and wisdom that is unsurpassed. I was just lucky enough to be born like this, the capacity to see myself as an amazing person, the only person that ever mattered to me. No one in my life has ever been able to outshine someone as naturally great and as genius as me.

I have always seen myself as being like this, and I only share this side of me rarely, maybe just now and again, like now, but hardly ever really. I don't need to overshare this because it just makes people jealous of me.

What I'm saying is just embrace who you are, who you see yourself to be, and take it easy on the oversharing, it's boring, and no one really cares but you.

How does one "accept" who they are? Does one do anything differently whether they "accept" or not "accept" who they are?

You can only be who you are, who you see or tell yourself you are, accepting this, is all you can do and be.

You cannot do anything different than what you are doing, nor will anything be different, when you are doing and being exactly who you are.

How can you not accept who you are, the one you tell yourself you are? That's like saying to yourself, I'm sad, but I am not going to accept that I am sad. So why tell yourself you are sad then, if you are not going to accept what you tell yourself? what's the point in doing that?

I'll pretend I'm not who I am if it makes you happier.

[Dontaskme]

I'll pretend I'm not who I am if it makes you happier.

I'm confused, why would you pretend to me or anyone, you are not who you are, the you, you tell yourself you are?

Just be honest with yourself and others, that's all you need to do and be. Who or what else can you be, other than the you you believe yourself to be?

In my beginning, there was emptiness, despair, and loneliness. From there I moved on to philosophy, only to find out that philosophy had no answers. Then I tried religion only to learn that God belonged to others and wasn't mine.

So what, is there anything wrong or right with thinking these things?

As far as I can tell, God favors the arrogant, the successful, the intelligent, the humble, the penitent, and the worshipful. And as far as I'm concerned, you all can have this world. It's a dumpster. So to all the blessed, successful, intelligent, humble, penitent, and worshipful, out there, enjoy the dumpster you've been blessed with. Cherish it and honor it.

If your tired of what other people think about you, then perhaps it's time for you to not care about what other people think of you. After all, the universe doesn't give a shiny shite about any living sentient creature living on this earth, so why should you?

People are not always going to like other people, either they like others or they don't, but what does that matter to you. It's not like they are going to come at you with an axe and chop off your head is it, so why do you even care is what I can't understand.

I don't know. Such is life.

You don't know ...


But seem to know enough to be able to say...''I'm tired of taking shit because of who I am.''

Ok, that makes perfect sense.

[Dontaskme]

I'm agnostic.

(*A person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God* )

So why do you keep piping on about a God you know nothing about? what's the point in that?

Why do you care what other people's belief's are as to the nature of what God is to them? when you must already know these other people are not you, and never will be you, nor can ever be you, because only you live your life, no one else does.

So let it be, and do not give other people's God's your energy and time, that seems like a futile way to spend energy and time on, thinking about stuff that is none of your business anyway. This is what I cannot understand about you, why would you give time and energy to matters that are not even on or open to your private personal radar of knowledge.

Even though you are a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God. But you seem very keen to risk guessing something at what God could/might/ maybe/ would be according to your own definition of what you do not really know of God.

You must have two minds. In constant battle and tension with each other, no wonder you are so drained by life, you are sucking the very life force out of yourself, all by yourself.
