RE: Delusions — Bilpcoin

Dear @futuremind

As usual - interesting read buddy. I must admit that I found it surprising to read that you called publicly some of your family members to be thiefs. Strong statement. You surely got my attention.

I do believe many people are delusional

I wonder if you ever considered yourself to be delusional? No offence - I'm just curious.
To tell you the truth, this is one hell of a question I like to ask myself from time to time. And I think it's very healthy to sit down and think about it. More often than not - we can discover some unpleasent "truth" about ourselfs.

There isn't many better ways of working on ourselfs, than to simply sit down and question our own behaviors and beliefs.

A system of competition and greed, indoctrination and falsities?

You forgot to mention: system of instant gratification. We like to be 'praised' for our good acts. Especially if we can share all 'good things we do' via our social media. Right?

Well, if you're trying to HELP OTHERS or DO GOOD FOR HUMANITY without hurting or manipulating anyone, then you are AWESOME.

I kind of believe, that most of us are trying to help other people without meaning to hurt or manipulate them - however we do it quite often unintentionally and we may not even be aware of that. Wouldn't you agree?

Greetings Piotr,

Thank you for the thoughtful comment!

Indeed it is, and it is a factual statement. There were times their behavior almost caused legal issues for me by simply being with them while they committed crimes, unbeknownst to me at the time. So, I really have no issue with stating it publicly. If they see it, they know I'll say it to their face, and they cannot deny it. So, it is what it is.

I wonder if you ever considered yourself to be delusional? No offence - I'm just curious.

Absolutely, this is a question I not only ask myself, but others too, while deconstructing certain logic. Sometimes, things occur that are so crazy I cannot help to wonder if I am the crazy one, and the ones who tell me otherwise, I wonder if it's appeasement. I sure do wonder my friend, I might be super delusional. Would someone know if they're not?

Great point! I did forget this one, and it's definitely applicable with this topic. I don't personally see instant gratification as a good thing in many respects.

Wholeheartedly agree. I've hurt people plenty of times without meaning to in the moment. Sometimes I'm able to see where/how I hurt them, sometimes not. Manipulation is an interesting topic. I am hard pressed to think that humans are not constantly manipulating one another, even on subconscious levels.

Thank you as always for your great comments, you really got me thinking on this one!

Sincerely,
Jake
