RE: What Would Happen if Everyone Were Given 1 Million Dollars?

in #money • 7 years ago

Life is not about balance or averages. Life is about extremes. Even life itself exists as defiance against all cosmological laws.

I really like almost you use to write, but this sounds like a Rabbi of Gaza preaching the Torah.

This is Hope, the Witcher. He used to live in Nigeria:

Give him a shelter, give him food, give him trust, love, hope, compassion. Give him money.

This is Hope, the Distributed:

The privilege of living at expenses of the 90% of the people of the world. You may thing all is about of adaptable behavior, hard work. The privilege that allow you to say nonsense words like these one:

People can have food, water, health and shelter covered but still be miserable if they start comparing to someone who lives much more luxurious.

What's life? What's miserable? What are the extremes of life? Have you ever seen in your life a bipolar patient? Ask him about the extremes of human experience.

    You are all over the place mate. I am not getting what you are trying to say.

    Bipolarism is bullshit as far as I am concerned.

      My friend, I have seen hundreds, maybe a thousand of bipolar patient. They've experienced the extremes of human sensations, of human behaviors. But I know someone who told it better -by the way she isnt psychiatrist, she is psychologist-:

      Kay Jamison, Ph. D., Describes:
      “What it is like to be a bipolar.”
      “There is a particular kind of pain, elation, loneliness, and terror involved in this kind of madness. When you’re high it’s tremendous. The ideas and feelings are fast and frequent like shooting stars, and you follow them until you find better and brighter ones. Shyness goes, the right words and gestures are suddenly there, the power to captivate others a felt certainty. There are interests found in uninteresting people. Sensuality is pervasive and the desire to seduce and be seduced irresistible. Feelings of ease, intensity, power, well-being, financial omnipotence, and euphoria pervade one’s marrow. But, somewhere this changes. The fast ideas are too fast, and there are far too many, overwhelming confusion replaces clarity. Memory goes. Humor and absorption on friend’s faces are replaced by fear and concern. Everything previously moving with the grain is now against…. you are irritable, angry, frightened, uncontrollable, and emerged totally in the blackest caves of the mind. You never knew those caves were there. It will never end, for madness carves its own reality.

      It goes on and on, and finally there are only other’s recollections of your behavior…. your bizarre, frantic, aimless behaviors….. for mania has at least some grace in partially obliterating memories. What then after the medications, psychiatrist, despair, depression, and overdose? All those incredible feelings to sort through. Who is being too polite to say what? Who knows what? What did I do? Why? And most hauntingly, when will it happen again? Then, too, are the bitter reminders….. medicine to take, resent, forget, take, resent, and forget, but always to take. Credit cards revoked, bounced checks to cover, explanations due at work, apologies to make, intermittent memories (what did I do?), friendships gone ordained, a ruined marriage. And always, when will it happen again? Which of my feelings are real? Which of the me’s is me? The wild impulsive chaotic, energetic, and crazy one? Or the shy, withdrawn, disparate, suicidal, doomed, and tired one? Probably a bit of both, hopefully much that is neither. Virginia Woolf, in her dives and climbs, said it all, “How far do our feelings take their colour from the dive underground? I meant, what is the reality of any feeling?”

      @kyriacos, Money is a medium, it only has the value that you want to give it. It is imaginary. But pain, despair, suffering, anguish, grief, hunger, loneliness, isolation are much more real than the air you breathe.
      I ask you again: What is life? What is misery? What are the extremes of life?

      You can call them patients all you want. Psychology (and psychiatry to a great extent) are bullshit. I've written plenty of posts in the past about this.

        Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. Psychologists study everything about the human experience from the basic workings of the human brain to consciousness, memory, reasoning and language to personality and mental health.
        My bet is you didn't like the diagnose you received.

          @garfove, don't even bother trying to explain what being human means to this guy. He's a bitter, lost soul.
          Even the agent in matrix compares people with a virus ( both living things ). He compares people with chemical elements (compares something with everything ). He says "having a child is like having a fart", and just so much crap that it makes my mind boggle. Both author and @truth-way-light are in on this here, and it's just another operation, to make sure the sheep stay brainwashed and happy with this perfectly "normal" system.
          The underlying message of this post is " THE STATUS QUO IS PERFECT. DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE IT. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE"
          Filth...
          What's really sad is the amount of up-votes this crap received. I really thought Steemit members are capable of some critical thinking. Disappointing really.
