@birdie24 I can understand it feels like a nightmare when we lose someone who are very important part of our life.
Feel free to talk or discuss
Here’s a topic: Are feelings a thing or just another form of manipulation?
-
There’s a fine line between "I’m feeling this” and “someone made me fell like this”. Logic is certainly a good filter for “this”, but “this” also implies a balance between emotion and logic.
-
hum not sure what you mean there
-
@Tall-M Why is that?
-
@somerandomperson you make a difference between i feel like this and someone made me feel like this, why ?
-
@somerandomperson Feelings can be manipulated, of course, but I doubt that to be the case, exclusively.
-
@Lazz Everyone has some sort of need. I’m not talking about a conscious choice, exclusively. Every interaction is basted on ones need of something. You might have the need for someone to talk to, to understand you, to do activities with or even bad things like make fun of, use that person for your own gain, etc. It all involves some degree of logic and feeling. It doesn’t always end well for both parties. These are some very general examples.
-
@somerandomperson then whats the link with logic and manipulation ? and you are taking out a lot out of the human interactions
-
@Tall-M If you think that there's no difference between those two statements, I'm curious to know why.
-
@somerandomperson becaue we are always influenced by our surroundings ^^

This is the topic, yes. The question is: how do you know if you're the one in control of what's happening to you or if it's someone else influencing you?
-
@somerandomperson its both ^^ you try to make it black or white when its gray. Becaue there are hormones too, the weather, everything that is us or around us
-

It's always gray, that's true. Nothing is either black or white, but even gray has a darker or lighter shade.

Care to elaborate?
-
@somerandomperson then its a case per case

I know, the short answer is both, but the specifics of these cases seemed interesting.
-
@somerandomperson well that's the short answer to something that is too complicate to have a dfinitive answer
-
@somerandomperson I see. Similar to philotic twining, only on a conscious level, with thought and control and drives behind the idea. Ok, yeah I get that.

Life is complicated, math is complicated, philosophy is complicated, lots of things are complicated... I know that "simple" tends to be closer to "happiness" than "complicated", but does this mean that we should just refrain from searching for answers for "complicated" questions?

Is your answer based on science fiction or mythology? I do appreciate you understanding the topic.
