I would argue they feel frustrated. Maybe anger can come up as a result. But it's frustration. Reinfoces my claim people don't understand there own inner emotions/feelings and default to miss labelling a lot of things as anger. Especially men.

Yep aversion too - it causes equal suffering. Although aversion can be looked at as the desire depending on frame. All I can impart is that a byproduct of real spirituality - truth seeking - was emotional healing and dissolving of conditioning. I am ten fold more internally regulated. It does get easier. I never persued truth to heal. But fell into its gravity due to extreme suffering. Godspeed to us both 🪽

@TruthFreedom sounds like a sort of "allowing" accepting and letting go of feeling/emotion. Which is healthy processing. That process becomes like a default habit the more we do it. It was key to assisting my own emotional regulation. Radical self forgiveness is a big one!

Perhaps some more nuance to titrate out your views; do you disgree with teaching kids things they dislike, thus potentially creating a hatred and negativity to schooling in them? Turning them off structured education. If we teach kids things that genuinely interest them, we foster a love of learning. Or, are you more wary of any external structures being forced in those too young to consent?

I suppose I would need to know what you mean by "control". I only think it is possible to mildly influence them once arisen. But if we are talking "allowing" or "not allowing" I don't think so. Spiritual work has had a positive effect on my emotional regulation - which could be a measure of control. Again depends on definition Are you deterministic? Free will awakening? Dovetails with no-self

Ones innate affect and temperament would definitely effect the rotary switch on anger

Anger, or anger that arises from frustration?

Maybe he's afraid of the female version of himself >.<

@Spiral good suggestion - I'll lock this because it's no longer constructive. @Rafael Thundercat feel free to reopen a new topic for discourse relating to the topic. Only closing this so you can make a clean topic. Discussing this stuff is important!

Exactly - context matters 😎

I mean - I dont think there is an issue as the context 100% matters 😃 The subforum choice and general jovial tone of the whole post sorta changes it. Just thought it might be worth highlighting cos it's a grey area. And for me I view it as open to interpretation (also I am quite Machiavellian so... Huehuehuehue)

This victim mindset is half the problem. I speak to lots of members individually like this. You aren't special. Peace

This sort of thing isn't unique to science.

My brain is rubbing your brain with this one

Start every day with high tempo or interval based cardo (160bpm+) 1hr 2 weight sessions a week Min 10k steps a day, no sitting for more than 30minutes unless winding down to sleep Wholefoods plant based diet with extra EVOO. No farmed meat. No artificial sweeteners. 4 small meals a day, one larger. No flour, no wheat. Basically veggies, meat, dairy. No sauces. Spices & seasoning all good. No food 3hrs prior to sleep - minimum 7 1/2hrs sleep, ideal 8-9hrs Water, coffee, tea - that's it. Sip water through the day. Don't skol it - it flushes out electrolytes. I am pretty austere due to low food interest and high quality of life priority. And prioritizing a minimalistic routine & way of life. This setup means I rarely experience unexplained low moods, have good energy and never have crashes in focus, and get the most enjoyment out of all moments. Even answering emails, writing lists, folding the laundry. It's all fun fun fun! I try to ensure what I do now, is not robbing future me of the pleasure of just being in the moment.

Responsibility is on us all, regardless of fault. The same could be said for yourself. Don't get all confused. This isn't about content and more about how you communicate. On a wider note - my comments around communication style play into how this thread has evolved. I have no issue steering any thread back on topic, but users who are entrenched in bias shoot themselves in the foot when they cannot have a good faith, cohesive & wholistic view of a topic. This ends up causing the derailing again and again. This is a common pattern for these types of threads on the forum, and my advice is to prevent this. Even if it falls of deaf ears. This goes for all users - not singling you out @Lila9

@No1Here2c So you claim it should be possible through intuition?

So you claim it is possible to hold every single possible context of a definition as a knowing, simultaneously? This appears like an impossible ideal limit. Definitions simply do not operate in a fixed way. It is a compression of usage across contexts. I don't think steering toward "Can humans hold every context simultaneously?" And proposing it is possible, with no case, is as useful as asking “Which distinctions are most useful, precise, and experientially honest in this conversation?”

What is this highest potential definition defined? What do you mean precisely by this term? Accuracy? Context illustrates that accuracy. Context changes all meaning.

There very few proper definitions of words in isolation without context. Light weight. Turn off the light. Light sleeper Light colour.

You participated in derailing it. Feel free to bring it back in line. Threads go off track and roll right back onto topic - sometimes for pages and pages at a time. Use the report function if you want something done - that way all mods will asses and unanimously decide. Avoids bias (if you suspect that) and assists mods.

You aren't actually understanding or trying to understand and getting sidetracked by all these secondary points. All good, I can see I am not received. C'est la vie

Mother of GOD. I only just saw this thread now. Understood the assignment 🤣🤣🤣 The question is - and in true woke fashion - what pronouns would be claimed? 😂
