I'm not a monster

Reply in thread

It's a paradox for sure. I have this exact thought everytime I do something I think of as morally good. Then I'm bashing myself for thinking that way, and then I wonder if I need to become a monk or something to completely rid myself of that initial thought. Then I forget about it until it happens again.

What a beautiful view

Reply in thread

Whenever I'm down, perhaps because I've read too much news, or thought too deeply about the stupidity, cruelty and hubris that roams freely in our world, these type of thoughts are what pass through my head. I close my eyes and zoom out until I am a little speck in space, looking down at the big ball floating around in a vast nothingness, and I somehow feel both better and worse. Better, because I get to distance myself from whatever is going on down there that I'm not responsible for, and worse, because there aren't enough people doing the same.
