Updating again
Here is another update with what I've been up to. I have been thinking a lot about religion again. As of right now I'd consider myself to be Agnostic with an Atheistic mentality. Experiencing a psychosis and such extreme states of consciousness that the mind is capable of diminished my "faith" as it were in Atheism. I just don't know anymore. Part of me wants to believe in something more but the rational, scientific, philosophical part of me wants to keep the old familiarity of Atheism.
Other than all that I've been pretty frustrated with everything that has been going on in my life. Ever since I left the hospital after my psychosis it has felt as though I have been stuck in a dream. It just feels weird. I kinda got used to the voices in my head and now that they are gone it feels like a part of me is gone as well.
I've been thinking of doing a self development week for myself but I'm not sure where to start. There is so much in my life I would like to improve upon. I've been stuck in survival mode for some time now and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Any who, enough of this crap.
Who even reads this shit anymore?!?

Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Absolutely, I completely agree. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause.
Exactly, the shooter gains worldwide fame over night. Why would a resentful, friendless, lonely, insane young man who wanted to leave an impression on the…"
Aya replied to Aya's discussion The ethical implications of "Temporal Isolation""From the last three lines of your post, I'm assuming you are applying the "better safe than sorry" mentality to life-rights over all of time. This addresses points 3) and 5) of my post on Wed 5/15, but does not address points 1),…"

Anthony D replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."An issue in the context of your reply is the so-called "mad/bad debate". And it very much plays into the perception of these rather extreme forms of criminal behavior.

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
On the topic of mass…"
