Re: been there done that
I did clearly say that my message would be RECIEVED as harsh (it strikes the conscience of all, making some "UNCOMFORTABLE"). Contrary to what you would like to think, not everyone will feel 'guilty' (as you seem to feel). There was no reason/call for you to react defensively to my post, but you did. Why do you feel a need to dismiss what I said and have ME feel defensive, is it the 'MIRROR'?...is what I said bad for YOUR conscience? Are you in the habit of being irresponsible to people and your relationships?
Meanwhile, I resent being treated as though my past experiences and sufferings are INSIGNIFICANT and should be disregarded by others. If you really do believe that you have "BIZ" at "Cure"zone, then you will have to be more tolerant of other people and their sufferings/past experiences (present and past). Your condescension is a weakness of character and you will never have the ability to truly understand anything until you learn to extend sorrow compassion to others and learn to respect other people's sufferings and endurance of misfortune. I simply ENDURE because I know I don't deserve to suffer, I am just). I have accomplished great ENDURANCE and know how to FEEL in the heart. What qualifications do you have to offer 'advice/help'...ACADEMIC speculation? (I laugh).
No doubt what I said was very 'imposing' to ALL who rather be irresponsible
(digs deep, doesn't it?). What is now doing this haunting (presently) that you speak of, and who is being haunted? Does my past haunt YOU? (I am not being haunted by it).
Next time you disregard/belittle someone else's present OR past EXPERIENCE (it is not PAIN to me, it is where I come from, my PAST), realize that it is YOU who are haunted. The reason may be simply that what they say offends your imagined superiority ("clinical scholar") and ego, or it may be that you have disdain for them because what they say offends your conscience, but beware if they have RECOVERED without YOUR 'great superior help', they might just write you a post like this (regardless of the fact that you may have already been depressed before reading this). If you are used to stepping on people's toes, at least for your own sake, be careful whose you step on. Beware of SURVIVORS, you only know the world that can be seen, we know the world that can be FELT.
