First off I want to start with something as simple as meditation.

I see segregation as a solution although I find it absurd. You could have a set of states ruled completely by democrats, top to bottom, the same for Republican states It's like two halves, one ruled by democratic rules and the other run by Trump turds. Major divide.

I wouldn't say that ideas, concepts and narratives are unhealthy. They're a tool for guidance. Tools aren't healthy or unhealthy. They're just tools. Obviously it's up to you to invest in direct experience. You can't really differentiate idea from truth because truth itself is unproven. You can only believe in objective reality and test your ideas in relation to this objective reality. That being said, this place has numerous options for exploring spirituality in many different ways apart from the ones generally discussed here. So you're free to explore those. And about being ignorant or having understanding, you don't need to take things to heart, this language exists in every spiritual circle, the word "ignorance" shouldn't be applied in an offensive context here, it only means that work needs to be done to further refine understanding. If you don't agree with the final understanding that is unanimously agreed upon here, it's completely okay, you don't have to. Follow your own path which suits you right.

I went to the store and got this cake for my mom. It's her birthday, December 1 Although I have had a ton of fights with her, I still don't want her day ruined. I want her to feel happy. Also got these happy birthday candles.

This forum is only good if you know how to keep away from ideology. I have very carefully tried to not be influenced by the meditation section of the forum. It can sometimes brainwash you with ideas that are not very practical. Be careful of the spiritual trap. A lot of people who embrace this trap often end up feeling lost and lose touch with reality. Consciousness is fine and healthy as long as it aids your living. If consciousness is making a person lose touch with basic reality, it undercuts the benefits of spiritual development. The idea is to use spirituality as a supplement rather than evading what is essential to living. Be careful of that trap

I feel very uncomfortable. I feel like killing myself.

My sibling should have been in fucking jail. Because it's murder.

@Marcel thank you. You are my light.

Thank you my apple pie.

@Marcel thank you so much for the support Marcel. It means a ton to me. Family problems aren't easy and I always had a bit more than I could handle. I hope one day I feel free. Sometimes I wonder if there is any true value to having a family. At all. Because I witnessed my father's death and a family member was responsible for it. It created a deep gash in me. I started hating the word family. It created a deep wound because I couldn't stomach the pain of losing a family member and realizing how family drama played a role in it. It was sickening. I had a ton of family issues growing up. And it made me a bit bitter and angry. And lost. You help me a shit ton to get through my trauma. But the wounds are very deep. I am still looking towards a happy future where things will look better. I don't want to lose my mom the way I lost my dad. Sorry I'm emotional.

First world problems. (I guess survival is not too hard there.)

@Marcel you are my hope and you are my star. Whenever I think of you, I feel unusually happy and safe. I'm in clouds. I escape into dreamspace.

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and the month of December is my father's death anniversary. So it's making me very emotional. 18th December is my father's death anniversary

Even if my mother is abusive she deserves to live and I want her to live long, as long as possible no matter what because she is my mom and I don't want to lose her to this psychopath who is trying to use manipulation. Maybe I'm selfish in wanting her to live long so that I can feel safe (my own psychopathy visible here, you can also call it codependency but I still love my mom and I wish things were different.) Am I incapable of loving someone? Am I too selfish? Is it wrong to be selfish?

Personal responsibility is only fully viable when the Society is able to encourage and support.

I so agree with this. Such wise words. Yes we need this mentality that you have. This Empathetic approach. Kudos.

How am I supposed to grow? Everything can be so confusing. Yet I'm getting there. Learning gradually but whatever I'm learning is extremely powerful to me.
