Spiritual Warfare

I do it, but all of it is temporary. I’m talking about the whole picture of existence.

There is more suffering than peace for your inner self.

No one can prove it, even though it sounds the most logical. The fact that existence is a mystery is tormenting enough.

Why do women show themselves half-naked and seek attention from other men on social media? This seems normal in Europe, especially among 16-25-year-olds who try to take sexy photos even though they have a boyfriend. There is a girl on this forum who isn’t very active here, but I found her Instagram through Leo’s account. She has a boyfriend, and I think she has kids, but she still takes sexy photos to make other men excited. I feel like I need to write to her boyfriend about this because a man deserves a girlfriend who is loyal and doesn’t want other men to be excited by her photos. Why do girls also feel the need to share on social media that they love their boyfriend? Why do people who don’t care need to know? What matters is that the boyfriend knows you love him; others online don’t need to know! Girls really seem to enjoy playing games with people’s feelings. They love attention and want to be at the center of it all. I don’t know how it is in the USA, but in Europe, this is the case, and anyone from there can confirm it.

Say it louder!🥹

We are in the same boat, but don't give up. 😞😁

Oh, that's crazy! I really hope you have found love!

Sometimes I think evil is attractive. It’s necessary in this world or else we won’t be able to appreciate good. Can evil be used as an agent to do good things and protect the ones who are weak and innocent? Just a thought that ran through my mind. We try to destroy evil by punishing it. How fair is it for society to play God? Evil ones are generally strong, dominant, and aggressive. By gradually weeding them out, are we creating a society of cu*ks and puss**s (sorry for those words but couldn’t find a better alternative)? I mean, even a criminal could be very intelligent and smart. And his potential gets lost when he is put to death. Of course, we end up saving many lives in exchange. But rehabilitation can be an alternative solution if found to be effective. We say bullies are bad. What if you’re caught in a situation where you want to fight against an unjust system, but you feel too weak or passive to speak out? And that bully you hated so much comes around, has a change of heart, and decides to fight for you and protects you. Your mind then begins to look at the whole thing in a different way. I know it sounds odd, but why do we get stuck with the idea that an evil person never changes? They too have some potential that could be put to good use. There are certain qualities/traits that make such persons formidable. These traits are important in war, fights, combat, and protection. We’re complex creatures, and we’re a combination of both good and bad. I imagine the devil having a change of heart and going back and protecting the innocent instead of harming, especially when the devil is shown some love. Maybe I’m fantasizing strange things (aka Stockholm syndrome). But is it entirely impossible for evil to change? Is evil excessively used as a scapegoat by a society too hellbent on being righteous and sanctimonious? Is evil sensationalized and exaggerated to feed our morally superior egos? Or is our outrage for evil acts justified? Sometimes I even think that our strong vilification and resistance to evil actually causes people to find it even more appealing. It’s like you resist fear, and fear grows. So maybe when we resist evil too much, we allow those forces to grow. Not sure. Maybe I’m being crazy here. But I felt like good and evil are two sides of the same coin, and there could be a possibility that the outrage we experience is a result of deep social conditioning. And if we weren’t conditioned that way, evil would have been diluted and never existed the way it does. Reformation would then be easier. But who knows… Food for thought. Are we losing more through punishment? Is there a way to retain some of the good or transform evil into something protective, strong, and formidable, but not harmful?

Well, at least the ant won't need to worry about getting stepped on again😁

Nobody wants to be raped, therefore, it is evil.

Calm down, Leo Gura. I have seen evil in its purest form,evil is far from an illusion, my friend.

I really appreciate that😇😈

Thank you for this summary!

Game of Thrones is a perfect example of what happens when no one works on their anger issues.

@zazen These are merely 'feel good' statements and ego stroking videos. The truth is that what Islam teaches and commands Muslims to implement in their domestic, family and social lives matters little to many Muslims today. It's all lip service and this is the same across the globe, no different from the West. It would actually make a difference if Muslims practiced true Islam today instead of the shameless cherry picking they engage in based on what suits and benefits them personally rather than embracing and implementing Islamic values and principles as a whole in all areas of their lives. Without that 100% implementation, Muslims do not hold a higher moral ground and are just as guilty, if not more so, of being the hypocrites that they are often rightly accused of being.

If you have read my previous posts about religion, you know that there are no good reasons to follow any religious texts. There is nothing that can prove the claims made in these books, and therefore it is not appropriate to follow anything misleading. Obey or be punished is not intellectual morality.

It sounds true. Thank you.

I believe that modern sciences, such as ethology and game theory, can help reduce the number of divorces in our society. Many divorces stem from everyday selfishness between spouses, and these sciences, particularly their philosophical aspects, encourage a more critical view of egoism, potentially offering solutions. For instance, consider a husband and wife deciding how to spend their time together, either attending a football match or going to the theater. If they choose the football match, the husband gains two units of pleasure while the wife gains one. Conversely, if they choose the theater, the wife gains two units of pleasure, and the husband gains one. If they agree to compromise and alternate between activities, they will each average 1.5 units of pleasure over time. However, if the wife adopts an authoritarian stance and has more patience, she may give her husband an ultimatum: either they always go to the theater, or they don’t go anywhere. The husband, faced with the choice of receiving one unit of pleasure or nothing, will likely rationally choose to go to the theater, even though this outcome is less satisfying for him overall. Over time, however, such one-sided decisions can slowly erode the relationship, as the husband’s needs and desires are consistently overlooked. This dynamic mirrors certain patterns observed in game theory, where short-term gains through coercion or dominance often lead to long-term losses in trust and cooperation.

This is not an easy thing, especially if you truly loved the girl and did not see her as an object or a boost for your ego. However, do not feel worthless because you still cannot let this go. It may take months, if not years.

You’re so uncertain. You tend to see everything in a negative light because of your past experiences. You need to let go of the past. I know it’s hard, but you’ll never be charming if you’re constantly focused on the bad things. Girls can pick up on that energy more easily than you think. It’s more obvious than you realize. Never start spending time with a girl if you can’t let go of the past because it will make the whole situation awkward. Be confident in the moment when you’re with her. Then when you’re alone, you can think about all the things that have happened to you, but never when you’re with her. You’ve got this.

She might think my love is too soft😞😏

Vote for Trump, because if Trump wins the election, which he likely will, people in the U.S. might believe it’s part of God’s plan. However, everyone knows Trump is not truly Christian, and he will end up sabotaging the country. This will make those Christians doubt their faith and question if God really exists, especially since many believe Trump is some sort of prophet or chosen by God. If Kamala wins, people in the U.S. will think it’s from Satan, because according to the Bible, a woman is not supposed to lead. This would only strengthen their belief in the Bible, since they are misguided. So, let Trump win. Think long-term and don’t see this as a bad thing. Reducing the influence of religious people is necessary so we can have a world focused on positive progress, where true spirituality is more visible, appreciated, and recognized as a truth of existence.

If your conscious experience is caused by your brain, this implies that your perception of your body, including the head you believe contains the brain, as well as the external world and everything you interact with, must also be caused by your brain. This leads to a troubling epistemic position: the brain state responsible for your conscious experience isn’t located within the head you perceive, because that perception itself is already generated by the brain. In essence, you become a homunculus, an onboard self/world model within a brain, experiencing a simulated reality rather than directly accessing an external one. From this viewpoint, you have no access to anything beyond the model generated by your brain. Since you only experience this phenomenal world, you can’t directly perceive the brain that supposedly generates your experience. Therefore, you can’t justify the existence of this brain or know anything about it, because all you have access to is the model. Essentially, if your brain produces your conscious experience, it can’t be located within the head you perceive. Instead, your perceptions, including those of your own head, are located within the brain. As a result, you cannot have direct knowledge of the brain that causes your experience, raising doubts about whether you can even be certain of its existence.
