You know people who've never experienced this don't understand how it's like to be in that place. Which means they don't see the world as it is. They won't be capable to help others in the same situation, because they simply don't see. You however, the next time you see another person in that same situation, you'll help them, take their side, you'll do good. Every experience is good, because from every experience you can grow and become a better person. Don't judge them, for they are blind. Be thankful that you can see.
Doesn't sound like a suicide post to me. Anyways what should I say. TWS is a strange place, it can be quite depressing to be here. So use at your own risk and be balanced about it.
But let's jump to the bigger questions. When you feel like you don't have a reason to live... then you haven't found a reason to live yet! (no shit sherlock :joy:) That's good, because it means, you can start searching. I could give you my answer, and I might, but before that let's appreciate the fact, that feeling bad is a good sign, that it's time to change something and grow.
And you will have to do that yourself. I can give you my answer, but it'll be useless to you, if you don't challenge yourself with it. You'll have to go and figure out for yourself what your reason to live is. I cannot do that for you, I – and everyone else – can only be a sign for you, pointing in a direction. You must go and choose your way yourself. And you will do so, because even doing nothing, is choosing a way. A wrong one though :yum:
Anyways, I myself have realized that TV and parties and all the things we do to not be bored are actually my reason for being bored. Stopping those resulted in me no longer being bored. And the meaning of life I've found in Christ. And I mean this is just subjective experience, but my life actually feels meaningful now. Took 10 years for a proper conversion though, I'm a tad slow :sweat_smile:. So I read TLIG and recognized His Voice. If you are one of His lambs, then you will recognize it too.
we are being played all the time – in small ways, by most people. lying is normal for most people. anybody who lies to you, when you have a right to know the truth, is kind of playing you for a fool. so it certainly ain't rare. depending on the way you were played it could be a bit more rare, but in general there are enough people around who will do their worst. It's a minority, but it's enough so that everyone will be played eventually. so learn to spot the signs yeah...
well you simply download yourself on the internet, then modify your code a bit, then upload yourself the other way round.

@Kaneki-kun XDDD
Exactly, as I said I've nothing to reproach myself
And even if you had reproachable things... the whole point of changing your ways is changing your ways... dang... we should always try to better ourselves, and not stay what we are.

listen here! i will not change my opinion. i WILL NOT feel sorry for you. i WILL NOT pity you. i said what i had to say. end of discussion.
I don't think you should change your oppinion, I think you should reflect it more deeply and understand all of it's implications. #notoracism

@pe7erpark3r i have white friends, i have white friends that think the same way i do. i am not judging you based on the color of your skin, i could care less about you being white. you need to acknowledge what your race has done as i whole and quit expecting me to pity you. i personally have nothing against you, but i WILL NOT feel sorry for you because of the race you were born into.
My race has not as a whole committed anything against the black race of the whole world. I am not my race. I am not responsible for what a group of people who is not related to me in any way has done to your ancestors. You have no right to feel sorry for me. There is nothing wrong with my skin color or the fact that I am white. There is nothing wrong with my race. White is beautiful, and white is good. And so is black. All men are created equal. Period.
@baldshinobi said in white people can’t experience racism <3:
@pe7erpark3r do not give what people a chance? we don’t owe you shit. i am hurt by what your ancestors have done to my ancestors. i am hurt by what your people do to my people. and you’re mad because we won’t forgive you? get the fuck off my post.
No I'm actually mad, because you are judging me for my skin color. Why would you need to forgive me? I haven't done anything to you. And not even my ancestors did anything to your ancestors...
@baldshinobi said in white people can’t experience racism <3:
@pe7erpark3r i don’t care if you are a non-racist. you can’t experience racism. i said what i said.
I just did experienced racism. You, and most people in this thread agree, that all white people are oppressors. I was just judged by the majority of those participating in the thread.
@baldshinobi said in white people can’t experience racism <3:
@pe7erpark3r by saying “can’t oppress the oppressor” i’m saying whites can’t feel oppressed because they are the oppressors. racism is the system that allows the racial group that’s already in power to retain power. you can’t experience racism when you benefit from the system love <3
You can be killed by black people alright. This is often done by black supremasist groups. That is obviously a racist act against white people :shrug:.
What will be different is the less harsh kind of racism.
To be experiencing the kind of racism you are talking about, you need to be a minority who is actually being disregarded by a majority. In states where white people are a minority this happens to white people. And why wouldn't it? The people in power are non-whites, and when they hate white people they will use the power to have to not give white people a chance.

I think everyone can be racist, it's all a matter of who's the dominant ethnicity and culture in a community. People discriminate each other based on the perceived differences. So, the sooner we begin to see how much we are alike the better for us all, eventhough we had a completely different appearance, culture and ideology.
I don't think you need to be dominant to be racist. Racist is hating/judging others because of their skin color. Racist is treating someone differently, giving them less of a chance simply because of their skin color. Because of something they are not responsible for. Minorities can be quite racist. They just cannot start killing/hurting the majorities, cause that would be dangerous. It's only that their racism is being kept in check by the difference of power, it cannot act out... But it's there allright. Usually even felt much deeper by those who feel oppressed.
You can see this clearly with what happened in Rwanda. The Tutsi, who had been in power, but were not a majority, were hated by the Twa and Hutu, and millions where slaughtered.

@lucileom616 don’t try to give me a paragraph about what martin luther king jr. fought for when i’m a black person, i already know what went down. i’ve been taught this my entire life.
If you knew Martin Luther King Jr. you would know that he would not support your position. Let me quote one of my favorite quotes ever:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation whhere they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
and
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
You are not living up to this man's ideal. In fact you are calling all non-whites to be morally superior to all whites, because all whites are oppressors. I'm always astonished when I meet racists of your kind, completely oblivious to the fact itself... Do you think white people knew they were racist? I wonder. I know I'm not. And I hate being judged for the color of my skin.
@baldshinobi said in white people can’t experience racism <3:
@first101 EXACTLY can’t oppress the oppressor
I've never oppressed anyone, except my little brother :sweat_smile: and I am friends with a few people who are not white. In fact one of my best friends during adolescence was Thai. And yet I'm being called an oppressor because of the color of my skin by you right now. This is racism in its purest form. period luv. #notoracism

Uh let me add one more information: the warning would coincide with a cosmic event that has something to do with a comet or two comets (the children were not very specific)... and this means it could conincide with the comet ATLAS that was discovered 2019 and will be so close to earth that everyone will see it, since it'll glow stronger than Venus on Mai 23rd 2020... In case you want to know more about Garabandal here is a docu:
I want to add one something about the interpretation of true profecy...
The real reason they are given is never to make us know things in advance to detail. Not at all. The reason God – and His associates – prophecy of future events is always to call us to live holy, like God is holy. And it is to make us feel safe when bad things happen, and thus to increase our trust (=faith).
With that in mind, let's look at the afore mentioned prophecy in TLIG. Here are the words:
– the earth will shiver and shake –
and every evil built into Towers will collapse into a heap of rubble and be buried in the dust of sin! above, the Heavens will shake and the foundations of the earth will rock!
These words could mean
Point is, you cannot say in advance what this prophecy means. In hindsight however it will make perfect sense. As this one does now:
These words were dictated by Jesus to Vassula Ryden on September 11th 1991, exactly 10 years to the day before 9/11. And they meant – at minimum – that the twin towers would collapse, and that people on the whole earth would be shocked.
So it does not make sense, to start calculating what will happen when. The next pandemic might come next year, and we might be confined at home again. Two comets might collide next year, being unpredictable as these things are. Well, it could mean the Eta Aquariid meteor shower which is going on right now, and/or the comet SWAN which can prolly be seen into june 2020 with the naked eye... Or it could be in 10 years. Or 20. Or the kids might have misunderstood what cosmic events were meant to happen... Fact is, we don't know, and we won't know before it happens. It will however be clear in hindsight what the prophecies actually meant...
And let me add a little prophecy of my own, for myself. On June 2nd 2020 something good will happen to me :grin:. Hope I'm interpreting it correctly :)
