Sorry I’m depressed af and need answers. Are y’all even real? What if y’all are just part of the program to torture me? What if this is a test? What if this is a VR simulation and the societal collapse is just moral character test to see if I would be do anything about it? Like imaginr a society in the far future like 26th century and in a history class where people are wondering “why didn’t the 21st century humans rise up against their oppressors” and then this VR simulation is just testing the students “what would you have done”

(Sorry for the bizzare question, its just brain chemicals acting weird today :P)

    If I could just argue with your therapist for a moment - cairns (Cairns) are well researched and understood human creations, whereas we have exactly zero evidence the universe was made with intention, and definitely no evidence that there’s any intent or any point to any of it.

    All that said, I respect the perspective of gratitude and radical acceptance.

      No argument here. The dude was always pushing religious tones, but I’m not into that. But ultimately he wanted me to accept my reality, real or not.

        A therapist pushing their personal beliefs on you is the kind of ethical violation state licensing boards will usually take seriously, fyi
