Generally speaking, negative thoughts are labeled bad, and positive thoughts are labeled good...my point is, who really gets to decide what's good or bad, evil or beautiful? who has ultimate authority over meaning and interpretation regarding knowledge?
If someone wants to preach to me that I am in a dark place just because I dare to say what's on my mind, then they are welcome to their opinions, but that doesn't make them true for another person. I happen to think life sucks, and that for me is anything but dark or depressing, it's quite the opposite for me, for me, to be able to accept reality for what it really is, is extremely enlightening and vigorating.
If I believe that life is a bad idea, which I do, that is a genuine feeling coming through for me, because for me, it's just accepting things for the way I personally see them, and that to me, is not being in a dark or bad place, it's being in a very good place. For me, the dualistic nature of language/knowledge means the opposite is also true. I've always held to this philosophy, it's unique to me, so it seems, I do not have a problem with saying what I believe to be the truth. I was literally born this way. And I'm perfectly ok and accepting of my philosophy, that may or may not come accross as being alien to others, but if it is, then that is not my problem, I can only see the world according to how it is being reflected to me.
Sure, nobody has "ultimate authority over meaning and interpretation regarding knowledge", these things are always, as you also mentioned, based on personal conditioning etc etc - yet there still is a certain difference between good and bad thoughts (and their expression via language) - the difference is the effect they produce (and not so much weather they are being labelled good or bad).
A thought, just like a physical gesture or behaviour, can harm or mend, it can destroy or build, it can tear apart or connect.
As I see it, this is the real difference between good and bad thoughts (or actions) - and seeing life as a "bad idea", as something that "sucks" and should rather be avoided, can never connect, build or mend, it will tear apart and destroy ...
And yes, of course it is good to "accept reality for what it really is" and this can be "extremely enlightening and vigorating" - yet, what you seem to be doing is not accepting reality for what it really is (otherwise you would not have a negative opinion about it), but rather seeing your interpretations of reality as something that is actually ultimately true (which, as you well know, can never be the case).
Thanks for the sentimental mush. I'm astounded at your stupidity. Some people just do not seem to get it, do they.
Seeing reality for what it really is, includes the idea there is an apparent ''someone'' aka a ''me'' having a negative opinion about it.
Big fucking deal, duh, I have a negative opinion about a negative fucking reality, who'd have thunked it!! geeeze, you people are so dumb.
Stop being thick. Your just another regurgitating parrot spouting off ideas, that makes your A hole tingle
..just admit that to yourself, and stop with the pretence.
BYe the way...All spiritual gurus are full of shit too. They are brimming with interpretations as well. They need to smell the shit and stop trying to embellish it with their mush, they need to just swallow it right down, and stop sugar coating it.
The cold hard fact about life for sentience, is that it doesn't need a silly arse wannabe ( I-know- it- all ) interpretation. Life can be SEEN AND KNOWN to be what it is, in CLEAR plain sight, even without ever opening one's pie hole. Life is disgusting, only a fool would not see this.
Your just another idiot who has a phobia of your own dark thoughts...as for me, I don't reject anything, including negative and dark thought, and that makes me the smartest thing to ever grace this planet.
OOOH, but the spiritual people say you shouldn't be having dark thoughts...that's BAD you know, you can't possibly be enlightened or intelligent if you know the darkness. What a load of POO HEADS...I mean really!! what an absolute joke.
Just keep deluding yourself Alex. The gurus have been pulling the wool over your eyes forever...it's all about the money, and what's in this for me, when it comes to the ''listen to me, I'm a spiritual guru, I know things'' ...And I'm going to sell you my bullshit because your dumb and not so smart gullibility makes me rich. In essence it's all about the money, and what's in it for me mentality. Not really that much different to when the dinosaurs ruled the earth for millions of years, nothing has evolved, it's just wearing a different FACE.
