Thanks @KJW @Rudolf I didn't really seen it like that ^^ But that makes me think about the fact we don't all see the colors looking exactly the same Could you share some of the ideas you have in mind regarding reality?

Hellooo Regularly I wonder if maybe the reality, the life i live, all i see, is generated by my mind like in a dream -> i feel, see, communicate, but it's all in my head is there a theory for that ? ps: sorry i know wondering about this can be quite offending because i bring the idea that maybe you are not real (lol...) an idea i have about this is that maybe somewhere else, in the real world, i enter this reaility (which would not be real in the end) and i don't know it's not really real, on purpose, you intentionally forget Maybe you forget because the real reality is horrible, maybe you are alone in there, and this reality is a way to escape and maybe each time you die, you start again 😱

I was just wondering if gazans can walk out of Gaza, like to go in another country And if there are some walls or fences, i'm wondering if they try to bypass it, do they get shot @https://www.unocha.org/publications/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/movement-and-out-gaza-update-covering-january-2022 I read: Palestinians are banned from leaving Gaza via Israel Could they leave by Egypt... It looks like they can by some "Rafah crossing" @https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah_Border_Crossing: Various sources reported that for several weeks, the Egyptian government had refused to allow either Gazans or foreign nationals to exit Gaza via the Rafah crossing Although on internet I read that more than 100k gazans were allowed to leave by there It's messy, sad(, i don't think i want to spend more energy to try understand more about this war because it seems to me it's caused by a religion difference i despise religions, so giving it too much energy somehow would mean that something i consider weak, is strong enough to impact me, so that would me i'm weak i guess)

I appreciate the info you provided, but it's still not clear to me If you will, let's imagine a man in Gaza, a regular Gazan Suddenly he wants to leave Gaza, on foot, one step after another, heading to go in Israel, either in Egypt What next, walls/fences everywhere? Try to climb = shot? No wall -> pass = shot? jail? Go around the wall by water = shot?

I'm wondering that since the war started, if there are any news reporting about some Gazans trying to go beyond the seal. I mean just to leave Gaza, or leave the refugee camps I've heard about some Gazans getting shot when trying to go get some food packages I haven't see any reports telling Gazans were allowed to leave, i've just saw some youtube thumbnail with some text about some Gazans leaving Gaza

Hi Some time ago, i've heard that Gazan couldn't go away to avoid the bombs I understood that if they tried to leave Gaza, they were physically prevented/shot Is it true? I understood that some are leaving these days, like without hiding, were they allowed to leave all this time? The subject is not about "to go where" regards

I'm now able to reproduce the issue: send a message in a thread send another one, so they get merged click to edit the message only the first part will be present in the textarea click "clear draft" makes the second/merged part appear it's a bug isn't it?

A compensation? Like I propose the person to beat me and then we are even? I don't think doing this anonymously is the appropriate way, at least for this case, or for what I want... I mean I could still send a lot of money anonymously and then maybe feel a bit better, like I did something good I think i'm more interested about apologizing, so not anonymously, but yes why not proposing something to the person, like proposing to revenge or something..... I didn't physically harm a person, I recorded and shared an intimate media file Although in the end it can still harm physically... I know i've been a piece of shit for doing that I didn't know, I don't really have an idea to which programs to look at, never participated to such, I guess I should look into Alcoholics Anonymous _ _ For like many years I didn't think about it, then i've stopped smoking thc, then the memory came back _ _ test _ _ test2

Hi I've betrayed someone 15 years ago. For a long time, i didn't think about it. Now i've stopped drugs, it came back, and it kinda burns me everyday. I have the possibility to send a message to the person, to apologize. But wouldn't that be too late? Wouldn't that be egoist? Like just to feel better? Or maybe I don't know what a proper apology is? Should I just keep living with it? Maybe it's the price to pay. But, I was thinking, if apologizing would be positive for both sides, then I would do it, but I'm not sure I would make things worst, bring back and old memory, provoke anger... should I just take the risk...

I appreciate all the info you are sharing By happiness i meant like some basic contentment What i find depressing, is I feel i'm just the slave of my brain, it wants those dopamine etc, and i'm here to please it, and will just do this all my life It's kinda weird to think/worry about this, but i wanted to share this thought anyway, probably mostly to read from you, hoping to remove this depressing feeling, by seeing other perspective about this, but in the end i guess i'm mostly spreading the feeling, although i hope not, except if it can be useful

- I think i understand, i guess my problem is i think too much about "what is the purpose", instead of enjoying and living my grand father told me that when i was very young, and they proposed me stuff like let's go see ducks at the pond, i said like "for what purpose?"... i guess i should try to let go someday

I'm never bored, i work on huge projects, for other species and the environment, it's just the idea that in the end, i do it just to be happy, i think it's like egoism

i agree that when you seek for safety, then i believe it doesn't come to your mind that seeking for happiness is boring Seems to me too What comes to my mind is climbing without rope, when i'm up, i feel no boredom, no sadness, no anger, i feel fear, and i only think about my movements, for my safety And when i'm back down, i feel safe, and happy for some time, reassured, even kinda proud I guess setting up some rotation between danger and safety might be a way not to experience/remain in state of boredom/sadness caused by how it's easy to remain safe

I meant that no matter if you are happy or sad, when you know that after safety, the only thing you will seek for is happiness, it's like end of the story, you know what you will always try to do, be happy, or stay happy But in the end the goal remains the same, they do this to be happy I would rather say it's the first step to remain alive I think you can be sad and never bored, it's a bit my case Can you be happy while not feeling alive? Can you be happy while being bored? I think you can be in the state of seeking for safety, and being sad, but not bored Would that mean that happiness, brings boredom, and then brings sadness... i think i've heard like boredom is a luxury, it kinda make sense after all

In the end it seems to me that before seeking for happiness, we seek for safety i don't remember feeling depressed during adventures in the wild, making shelter, trying to fish, making fire, i felt rather alive I think it's then, when you can satisfy safety easily thanks to modernity/money, then it's just about wanting extras, entertainment, hapiness

i agree i'ts more complicated if the cat is a human My dad had a goat and one day he foud it dying in agony (maybe it would have survive, i know), maybe poisoned or something, he killed it to make its (their) pain stop He just told me today that he did it by breaking its cervical vertebrae, a quick and strong movement So i guess what you see in horror movies is true when it occurs on humans, in the end i guess this is what i could do, to answer question of this thread I didn't expect it's really doable mostly on animals of this size regarding if the cat was a human, that makes me think about the movie "Million Dollar Baby", there the agony is mental

I appreciate your sharing, thank you i think my biggest problem is i don't know when to eye contact, it's not natural at all for me When i share an activity with people, like a common goal, i do eye contact naturally But when i pass unknown people on the sidewalks of my city of 50k people (~1 person per minute i think), i don't want to eye contact, i would prefer if they wasn't there so if i initiate the hi/nod, that can't really be pleasant for both sides, since the intention is negative, i think that's the real cause of my problem, i keep initiating without wanting to -> So now, i plan to never initiate anymore, and if i somehow feel the person watches me, then i will verify and if the person indeed eye contact me, i will do too, during like one second After that second, if the person done nothing, i would have done absolutely nothing neither, no more initiation from me. I will look towards my direction again If the person did say hi/nod, i would have done too Seems like i found the solution to my problem, nice

I couldn't find any sociology category so here i post This thread might sound dumb but in my case i have a big issue regarding this subject and i hope to learn about it and get recommendations When i'm walking on a sidewalk to go from A to B, and i see a person or a duo/trio... coming towards me, i'm let's say in pain I keep thinking about them, are they thinking about me, when should i start watching them to say hi, if they don't watch me while i watch, should i watch again in 2 seconds, and again? Is there any system to apply when passing people not to have to bother worrying and feeling awkwardness? (when it's a street with ton of people like in movies i just ignore everyone) Most of the time in streets, when it's two people coming, i never look at them, i do like they don't exist They are not alone like me, they do their stuff, we are strangers to each other, we will probably never pass each other again, i think it's like useless to say hi But when it's a single person, i would feel it really sucks/be weird/sad to pass each other like we are not here When it's two people in forest trails, it's horrible for me, i can't ignore them, i get like the same feeling as when it's a single person, i couldn't ignore them, probably because it's a nice place without too many people Often i quickly look at them, say a quiet hi, then look back to my direction, and hear no response, it kills me, i'm starting to think i will now just never look at people anymore when passing them, maybe even single persons Maybe they feel i don't want to pass them and i say hi just to be polite/be positive ___ should i have posted in "Psychiatry and Psychology"?

I don't follow i'm sorry edit: i think you meant i should reconsider about imagining taking the decision to end the life of an animal Because i might make the mistake of preventing a saving or making pain worst in that case, i agree it can be dangerous/regrettable Lol there was no animal i was just wondering what to do in case it happens to me ___ Conclusion: i'm walking on a sidewalk I see a cat got hit by a car, i see it is in agony, crushed, then i get to believe it will die in few minutes in agony I have no gun, no knife What i will do is -> I don't know ___ I should contact the SPA as Phi for All said, to ask them what they think i should do

According to religious books, why god would want us to be happy? Does he want something from us?

Hi i understand that no matter if we want: a ton of money to buy cool cars make the world a cleaner place help animals We do this because achieving it would make us happy Is the brain searching for happiness the main the motivation of a living being?* No matter the species? If yes, knowing that, doesn't it mean you know that all your life you will basically just try one thing: be happy? Isn't it depressing/boring? i'm never bored, but thinking about this, i think it is I like to hack stuff, I'm wondering if there was a way to replace the goal of happiness by something else, what could it be, what could be the result... And anyway why the brain wants that? Does it serve some greater cause in the end? Us being happy, might profit to a living conscious being that we don't know about ___ *Or is the main motivation about not being hungry/cold/sick, then be happy?

By send a message I meant to send a reply in a topic, then editing it multiple times (so clicking save multiple times) I didn't move from page to page and accidentally messed up the message I don't manage to reproduce the issue unfortunately but if it occurs again i will try to note what happened exactly h

Yes i meant the human species, I try to achieve projects to leave more good than bad I guess we could measure these things: The amount of sectarian/religious people (and then what comes from it such as wars and limitation of the mind) The amount of pets (and then what comes from it such as sadness and pain) The amount of produced toxic materials (and then what comes from it such as diseases) Maybe i could find more item if thinking longer So I guess if comparing such data each x years, we could know if it's getting worst or not @zapatos I didn't know about Cyanobacteria, if i understand correctly, it killed some early life forms, and allowed the new ones to appear, imo that's an interesting way of wondering that if something that can appear bad now, maybe it will allow to produce good tomorrow. I don't mean that what the Great Oxidation Event caused is good, neither the opposite In the end it's difficult imo to talk about what is good and bad, of course something like killing for fun is bad, although i guess there is no physical formula to prove it but it's like common sense/obvious, i guess But in the long term so many things can come from a bad or a good event, that in the end, maybe something that seemed bad at the beginning, will be considered positive later, at least what result it caused, and even later, we would change our mind again.......... I agree but we also are the only one with the malice to do the opposite, seems to me But is it malice or lack of knowledge... Regarding Earth's well-being, I meant environment and other species, and why not even ourselves... @TheVat In the past i thought that if we disappeared suddenly, all other life forms would disappear because nuclear power plants would explode, but recently I understood that this and the other elements you mentioned would not be enough to destroy all of them, i hope that it's indeed the case and that it will never change

Hi It's the second time i notice this issue, i just lost some text, it was like: send a message edit it edit it again and again, but this time, all/a part of previous modifications are gone -> click Save (i noticed the difference before clicking, but clicked anyway hoping it will not really be gone) -> some previous modifications are lost (i use firefox)

for the planet Earth (health, cleanliness...) I struggle to believe you really don't see that what we humans done and do to it, is worst than if we have never been there It seems to me that it's obvious that we are the worst, or can you name another species that is worst than us regarding degrading the planet? Regarding helping ourselves, I see a lot of things done to reduce our impact, such as recycling Recently I accidentally saw a video of someone doing something that makes me feel very sad and angry, that made me lose like 0.5% of the last percent of hope I had/have When i think about it, i know there is much worst than the video I saw In the past I did bad things too, I believe nothing is nobody's fault, but just cause and effect I guess the 0.5% of hope i have remaining, is that I know people can change in good, even if they were monsters before But anyway, imo the human species evolved in a way that makes it too much different of the other species on the host A way that is bad for the host and the other species Right now i realize i see humans maybe like a cancer Consuming its host And the animals would be the bacteria in harmony I don't know well about cancer, but I know it can kill the host, I also heard that rarely, it can go away without taking drugs, i guess it's caused by some protection triggered by the host I like the idea of being Earth's caretakers, I guess my 0.5% of remaining hope dreams that someday, we will provide more good than bad I also like the idea that in a very long time, we will find other planets, with life forms on them, and we would help them | | | Regarding this idea i wrote: I see these outcomes in case the comparison of ourself to a cancer is right: Earth triggers something that will make us die or reduce population to -99% We will kill the Earth (i doubt it, in the deep of the seas, i believe stuff will keep living after us, except if we create some self sufficient/reproductive destructive nanotechnology, that will reach everything) A drug will be created to fix us, by killing, or by just stopping the harm I guess my real hope, is the last option, if it doesn't take too much time
