Do you remember a time when there was no humiliation?

9 Comments

When everything was running smoothly, when you felt so happy then someone decides you're an arsehole doing the wrong thing and dobs on you, all the magic, all the good times, is gone, and when you get older it gets worse, you try to be optimistic then somebody comes fiddling with you making you feel uneasy, I could've been a Christian Scientist by now, and I could've taken pride feeling this way, but medicine that gives me no option is ruining my life and I've been a pessimist for years, I could've been extremely optimistic if I wasn't made uneasy, pessimism is nothing to be proud of, I'm humiliated, I'm ashamed that evil exists where I exist, causing me suffering, you have no idea how very difficult it is to be optimistic, I could've had these old beliefs and been happy and reality is not complying with my beliefs.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    That shouldn’t have all been one long sentence, if you re-write this you will probably get a better response as it currently reads like a ramble rather than a question.

      It's not a ramble or a question, but I can tell you it's the godforsaken human condition. I'm only ready to put spaces between lines because I want to and not because some arsehole told me to.

      Fulfilling the needs of other people's norms can be done simply as just doing it, simple yes, but it's bloody difficult!

      And furthermore why should I be treated like the exception? I haven't done anything extraordinary, anything unique perhaps, anything remarkably evil, I'm just a normal person. Therefore you should think I'm normal because my name says so.

    Not sure if I quite get it, you're sad that you're not a christian scientist? Or that criticism exist in general? Those questions aren't very clear... If you're asking for the first time I actually felt humiliation it's probably somewhere around puberty 12-13 I developed these kind of feelings. First time I got scolded by my parents I'm guessing (but not sure) 1 year, I was breast feeding and my mom told me not to bite

      Why can't people accept one another? Admit that individuality scares people, you're probably separating yourself from the rest of America so Americans can kick your arse.

        Maybe people should be more accepting. But sometimes they have a valid reason to criticize, the content matters. Some people also do or support things that could hurt others and that is just not right to tolerate (unless the alternative is even worse). I'm not American by the way.

        By the way I actually had to think about the meaning of your comment for a while and try to find a general answer, so that's why I took some time to reply

    There has never in my lifetime been a time without these kinds of issues (and I'm in my mid 60's). My study of history says that such issues have existed for as long as both written and oral histories go back.

    My closest personal friend (even closer than my wife) is a Christian Scientist - and a Certified Christian Scientist Nurse (many years of training to get that).

    Nothing is stopping you from becoming a Christian Scientist today. Nor do you need to be a Christian Scientist to have the kind of relationship with "god" such that "god" will assist your spiritual efforts to heal yourself.

    All Christian Scientist really do is to have organized a religion around that concept which is stated within the bible and available to all followers of the biblical scriptures.

    I do note, and my friend talks about this, and that Christian Scientist do not have overall better health than certain groups of other religions - do not in general live longer (on average their life span is now noticeable shorter than non-Christian Scientists) - and that most of them now use Medical Treatment at some point in their lives.

    More important is your attitude towards life and spirituality.. and how it plays out.

    I note that I have some lifelong medical issues that were caused by lack of knowledge at the time on treatment side effects. At the same time I'd have died within a week of birth if it was not for other medical progress.

    I've learned to be comfortable with what is... and just figure out a way to move forward instead of spending my time and efforts fruitlessly blaming others.

    The Medical profession at best knows about 5% of how things in the body work well enough to properly treat those 5% of issues correctly - at least the most recent trained on the issue does. Much of the rest is a gamble; as is life itself.

    Note on my 40+ year best friend: I was dating her 32 years prior to meeting my wife; and while we decided not to get married in college or soon after (and she married another); we have stayed close friends ever since and even dated again and considered marriage again after she divorced. My wife knows all about her and our past and is impressed with such a deep long lasting personal friendship. She knows, and is not bothered by the fact that I can discuss things with this 40+ year best friend that I do not discuss with her. My wife has similar long term friends (although not as many decades long).

      Christianity in general is what makes a nation one. Then there's separation with other Christians because you're different, all the Christians in the family are different, my mother's strict and anti-gambling, similarly I'm normally a Puritan, my dad's united methodist, my big brother's a modern day bible-bashing churchie and Jesus freak and my little brother's a Catholic or Protestant (?). We fight over whether anything should be gambling and that I shouldn't gamble because Mum's Christianity is similar to my Christianity.
