Honestly, it’s such a relief to see someone else on the same page here. For the longest time, I genuinely thought I was some kind of prehistoric relic for feeling this way, but... turns out there are others of us.
I mean, what’s even the point of getting worked up? What do you actually gain by holding a grudge against someone?
It just drains my own battery, you know? It's a total waste of energy that I could be using somewhere much more productive.
I truly believe we all have the right to think whatever we want. If someone wants to sit around wallowing in negativity or harboring bad thoughts, that’s entirely their burden to carry, not mine.
I can't help but feel like this mindset is kind of a higher level of consciousness. It isn't about being passive or indifferent, it’s just about having that deep understanding and accepting everyone exactly as they are. At the end of the day, that’s basically the whole core of those Eastern philosophies anyway.

Reading this just reminded me of how things ended for Gandhi and MLK.

Look, I’m not a fatalist, but there are just some people you simply cannot deal with.

Illness is one thing, or death—that’s a whole different conversation. This is about liberating your own soul, not some sick or departed individual.

I have never, ever understood how people claim they can forgive certain kinds of filth. Or forget. It’s nonsense.

Take me, for instance. If someone screws me over, I might say I "forgive" them, but I can't just wipe the slate clean. Amnesia isn't going to kick in to save me, and I’m left with this nagging, persistent doubt that the same pattern will repeat itself. With people like that, my only option is to turn my back and walk away.

As for world peace? That's never happening, not now and not ever. Quite frankly, you simply cannot—and absolutely should not—waste your energy on certain people.

It’s just not good.

Every now and then, you really ought to utilize a decent dictionary—maybe even smash something if you have to—otherwise, this whole thing might end up getting on your nerves or, heaven forbid, causing some actual dermatological issues.

You absolutely have to make sure it’s dried properly. Use a blow dryer if you have to—don't be stubborn about it. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but it’s the honest truth.🤣

Has anyone ever seen one of those miracle products—you know, the ones they advertise on TV—that you just apply rectally to get things moving? Go ask at a CVS or Walgreens. Honestly, some kind of herbal ointment works wonders. Also, you really need to start loading up on fiber. I mean, seriously, eat tons of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. And water! Drink water, water, water. 😁

If you actually stick to it, you should see some pretty drastic changes in about 10 days.

Go see a doctor. Seriously.

You can actually manage or even dull those migraines just by tweaking what you eat. Diet matters more than people admit.

Massages help too, I guess... though personally, I didn't find relief until a chiropractor finally cracked my back into submission. After that? The headaches just stopped.

You can take them every four hours if you need to.

It could be an iron deficiency, or maybe just low blood pressure—again, likely because of the blood loss.

I went through the exact same thing. No headaches for me, but I was taking iron supplements that absolutely wrecked my stomach. So, I started gorging on massive amounts of beet greens and drinking beet juice. It was honestly disgusting, but it actually worked. After a month, everything finally went back to normal.😁

Who actually holds the moderators accountable here? Seriously. This is the second time I’ve had to walk away from a discussion because of one specific moderator who seems to think they can say whatever random nonsense pops into their head, all while turning around and banning me for doing the exact same thing. They’re tossing out these "subtle" insults regarding someone's background and education left and right—it's blatant disrespect toward other users, if you ask me. I'm not suggesting there's some massive conspiracy going on, but I really thought the moderation team here would be more open-minded. Well, I guess you live and learn!
