“Largely”?

Parasites can’t be scavengers.

Not as huge as it seems when we know we don’t have to kill for food.

Also, the west eats a good deal more meat than needed for living.

It’s funny that people think this is cruelty to animals, but they don’t think killing tens of millions of cattle a year for food is cruelty to animals.

Then there is the hundred of millions of pigs killed a year for food.

=-)

This won’t last forever.

No wanting to live anymore doesn’t mean a person is mentally ill.

Anything at all.

I want to vomit my entire body out.

I want to vomit.

Just don’t use YouToob.

EwwTube is as terrible as Twxtter or InstaCram. Blah fart.

Yes, and? I said I don’t care about belligerence.

What does that have to do with me being here?

Yes. I understand what this person is saying.

I was not saying that this person thought the phenomenon did not exist or was made up.

My point is they are unwanted but won’t go away. That is why they are intrusive.

It is not any big mystery. It is a well known phenomenon. You try not to think of the thoughts, because they cause great pain, and the thoughts happen more.

What is the problem here? What is the great problem in calling them by a name that makes experiential sense? Nothing. There is no problem.

These intrusive thoughts often involve harming people we love. Which is like being tortured for hours daily, and months, and even years for some. We don’t want to think these thoughts, but they keep intruding on us.

Why do we not want to think of these thoughts as “our thoughts”? Because if they are our thoughts (or if they are us) then we are horrific monsters.

But through years of torture many of us have, emerged from the ruins of our life, and learned that we are not monsters. We are just being tortured by the monster of existence.

It isn’t a lack of understanding of belligerence. It’s that I just don’t care about belligerence much anymore.

Edit: Changed the word “it” to “belligerence” for clarity.

We don’t imagine them. They imagine us.

We are the result of them. We are the effluence of thoughts.

You can’t not have them. Because they have you. They are in control.

No thoughts are “your own.”

You are owned by your thoughts.

The point is that intrusive thoughts are real.

Intrusive thoughts are a big part of OCD.

And they are unwanted thoughts that a person doesn’t want to have. That’s why doctors call them “intrusive thoughts.”

Intrusive thoughts are a big part of OCD. And they call them “intrusive thoughts.”

Maybe it’s OCD?

One of those things is out of place.
