One ought to keep the beast on a leash. And occasionally, one should offer it a bit of praise. It isn't exactly profound wisdom, but it certainly isn't without merit.🙂
The internet is an absolute cesspool of depravity🙂 Sure, you can find information on just about anything, but then you stumble upon people flashing their bodies all over your screen. It’s constant—this endless stream of mindless, lewd content designed to cater to the bored and the degenerate. Honestly, it’s nothing more than globalized filth.🙂
silentcyclist3 said:haha... I wonder which processor we're talking about here. Is it an Intel or an AMD? 🙂
At the end of the day, calling a computer some sort of biological brain model is absurd. It's like saying everyone has a silver lining—if that were true, why even bother pointing it out?🙂
silentcyclist3 said:Nice 🙂 have you written any poetry in that kind of vein? Were the strawberries good?
I haven't. I assume they were. Wild berries are usually delicious, though I suppose that depends entirely on the palate and the brain of whoever is processing them. But then again, considering how my own brain was functioning this morning...🙂
Morgan Hernandez5 said:Times change, mistybison, don't they? 😉 Isn't that just how everything works in society right now? The forum is basically just a mirror reflecting what's happening out there. We aren't aliens or something, we're just real life playing out inside this community!
God, I love this projection. No matter which way you turn, it’s being projected onto you. It's a de facto closed loop. 😢🙄🙂
A spiritual individual understands that true change doesn't require making a scene; it’s about the quiet revolution of separating the wheat from the chaff—or perhaps the other way around. That process happens naturally on its own. 😁But let me give you something tangible, something concrete. For instance, I was out picking wild strawberries the other day when I spotted a rainbow. Think about it: light refraction, moisture in the air... isn't it true that those colors emerging from the invisible are precisely what trigger a spiritual awakening? It certainly triggered mine the moment I tried to interfere with the natural order. 😕😕I am not on drugs.🙂
mistybison said:Just so you know! 😁 I haven't visited this section in quite a while, and I am genuinely surprised by what I see. People are starting threads about drugs and digging up ancient discussions from years ago—posts written by users who left this community ages ago. Back then, the forum felt more intimate, and there wasn't nearly as much need for the heavy-handed moderation we deal with today. In the past, debates centered on different spiritual paths, but now people just argue for the sake of arguing, with absolutely zero spirituality to be found in their posts.😁
ontheedge is right: this forum has become twisted, and we true spiritual seekers🙂 😁, must distance ourselves from this Sodom and Gomorrah.🧐
Whatever. I suppose you're right when you say that I am right. But does it even matter? That is merely an illusory, administrative, judicial ego. 😕🙄😁😍
Angela Hall30 said:Look, spirituality is a slippery slope. Anyone can claim just about anything, and it doesn't mean a single word of it aligns with reality. Personally? I don't consider myself a spiritual person—not even close—and frankly, I'm perfectly fine with that.
The "I" isn't even anything more than a shifting illusion anyway. You either are it or you aren't. Being "proud" is just another side of a complex. It's pointless.🙂
This forum is fundamentally broken and twisted. There is absolutely nothing worth seeking here. A man should be out in the woods hunting for mushrooms instead. He ought to be conversing with the trees, rising at the crack of dawn, and being tucked into bed by ten o'clock at night. Anything else is a complete waste of life. 🙂
I would like to offer my apologies if my previous tone was overly abrasive. Occasionally, I allow myself to become somewhat carried away by the heat of the moment.😁
I certainly do not hold the optimistic view that civilization is trending toward some brighter future. To suggest such a thing is simply impossible. The world is shifting, and those shifts will be radical—but don't mistake that for progress driven by some tech-savvy genius poking an antenna into the atmosphere to broadcast ideas through the internet until our consciousness is nothing more than a wandering ghost lost between zeros and ones. No, the transformation is far more fundamental; we are witnessing a profound transmutation of matter itself. You can either grasp this reality, or you can remain nothing more than a lifeless mineral🙂 trapped on a silicon chip.
That is such an incredibly moronic way of looking at things. I’m speaking clinically here—what is, is what is. Of course some people are born as "natural-born killers," but it isn't everyone. It's specific individuals, almost like fate. Everyone is born with a certain disposition, which inevitably intertwines with other life factors. So, calling this logic sound is idiotic because when a person lacks the capacity to change themselves, they attempt to compensate by taking it out on others. Logically, that ends in tragedy every single time—firstly for the individual making those reckless outbursts, and even more tragically for the innocent people dragged into that mess. Honestly, the person who started this thread is either putting on an act or is just a complete moron. If you had actually experienced the horrors of combat firsthand and understood the sheer psychological devastation war inflicts on a person and the lasting scars left on society, I highly doubt you'd be sitting here acting like such a genius. You would either be a hardened veteran lost to the machine, undergoing intensive psychiatric treatment, or, like a friend of mine who moved out to a remote part of Alaska to raise sheep and go fishing, you'd be trying to find some semblance of peace far away from it all.🙂
ruggedgull33 said:slydriver17, honestly, the moderators ought to consider issuing you a suspension, if only temporarily, and scrubbing those nonsensical, utterly incoherent posts of yours from the board entirely.
I didn't just pull the phrase "heaven sent a knockout" out of thin air. It's meant for fun, so why on earth are you labeling it an immoral slogan? 😛🙂
mistybison said:You aren't in control here. 🙂 Thinking you can manage Vera's reaction is purely an illusion. If you "let go," you'll see—nothing changes. 🙂 "Chasing" someone rarely works unless that person hasn't found anyone "better" yet, at which point they settle for the one who's "available," which is a pretty humiliating spot to be in, if you ask me. 😉 You essentially reduce yourself to the "placeholder" category or the "good enough for now" option. 😁
😁 The moment he found out she cheated, he should have just kicked her out. After spending one night sleeping in a park, she would have realized her mistake and come crawling back. She might even look at him with genuine respect again. 😁 Modern men just don't get it anymore—they've become too soft and passive. Then they act surprised when women cheat on them. 😁
Just kidding. 😛 😁
It was just a joke.
I'd probably end up scrubbing the bathroom floor with a toothbrush instead.🙄
