i dont like nasty people…
my psychoanalyst says im depressed…

you probably are, but hell there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you don’t lose perspective. I’m an expert at being depressed, I learnt to value it given time, but I still hate it.

my psychoanalyst is full of shit…
a lot of what he calls depression is my view of death…

It used to be, before I discovered philosophy many of the times I would have deep an serious thoughts was when I was depressed. But then Plato and Epictetus helped me to end my depression.

Whats a psychoanalyst?

how did they help?

Plato in part gave me purpose and confidence, and Epictetus taught me that a Large part of being unhappy is being upset about things that are not under my own control (externals) and that being apathetic to these things ends much of the anxiety people put themselves through. Simply, happiness comes from within.

You probably should get a second opinion then…

An Artist who may or may not speak something that suits you and makes you mentally healthier, but one who if he does not, does not.

a psychoanalyst treats YAVIS people who have a lot of money…

Are you a HOUND with not so much money?

not a HOUND…unfortunately i am a YAVIS…my analyst uses me as a research object…he doesnt think i know.

Hey dummies, get smart!

This is what it’s all about.

dummies—we have all learned so much from these topics…

how to argue…

how to be vague…

how to rant…

etc.

what do you dummies think of the DUMMY BOOKS?

:laughing: That’s really not something we’ve learned, little reptile. That’s something we’ve been practicing.
BUT - if we take a good look at that - we may learn how to Not do these things.
Its all just a part of our pre-conditioning. So we need to reprogram ourselves - change our patterns - dare to be different.
Anyway, is any of this all that important except for how it may change us?
If we are in a philosophy forum and remain the same - then we truly are dummies, aren’t we? :laughing:

very excellent response my friend…

Ah, et merci, mon petit ami reptilien. Et comment êtes-vous s’en sortent aujourd’hui? Est ce moment vous traiter gentiment? Et comment est-ce champ d’énergie merveilleuse palpitante qui vous aimez vous planterai?

It really Does take Much More energy to rant and argue - why do we Not conserve it for clarifying things - as opposed to muddying the waters? Clear clean waters make for clearer reflections of ourselves. :slight_smile:

you are very expressive with words…i love natural.
i hate artificial…you evoked that in me…
