Harming your Reputation

4 posts in this topic

I have a doctor cousin who got very sick and went through the healthcare industry and they couldn't cure her and she Is seeking help but from a very traditional lens of pharmaceuticals.

So, The only responsible thing I can think of is to tell them a way of helping themselves to alleviate symptoms.

But by doing so they judge you as being irrational, Lost in Wrong ways of thinking, new age hippie shit.

When you try to help these people, You harm your own reputation with them. BUT It's still the only responsible thing to do. Are you just not gonna tell them?

How is this post just me acting out my ego in the usual ways? Is this post just me venting and justifying my selfishness? Are the things you are posting in alignment with principles of higher consciousness and higher stages of ego development? Are you acting in a mature or immature way? Are you being selfish or selfless in your communication? Are you acting like a monkey or like a God-like being?

You can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink. The horse may even kick you.

Not care about what they think. Or at least, if you do care, accept that you will feel sadness and allow this. With the idea that you may have some transient emotional upset that will pass, with the overall intention of good. Even if people do not understand your actions.

I have largely given up trying to be understood as much by others. When younger, being misunderstood caused me much upset. Especially when it is wilful. 

It won't harm you to accept and feel hurt at others judgement. Avoidance of it is much worse. Not avoiding the pain of being judged and developing the capacity to experience it without allowing it to dictate my behaviour was a skill it took me a long time to learn.


It is far easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled.

I care more about doing some good than what another thinks. I know I'm a rubbish person through a worldly lens. I still will do some good.
