The current discourse on outsiders and outcasts seems to further alienate and derogate them, rather than achieve the goal of defining them in a neutral manner, or showing any empathy to them. In addition, the current discourse seems to define them through potential sociopolitical aspects of their identities–demographic traits like sexual orientation, religious beliefs and…

You just have to live to the best of your ability. Suicide is not an option. Do what you love to do; that will really help you keep living. Just make it to the finish line, which is natural death. | Dysfunction (living life in a dysfunctional way), suicide, and trying to attain a life…

I’m still trying to chill out, and recuperate from all of the pointed abuse and torture I got from other people, during the course of my life. If nobody likes me or talks to me in my life, that’s perfectly ok. I don’t like people, either. I’m coming to that conclusion more and more every…

This is what I’ve been doing lately to deal with pain and difficulty; Feel what you have to feel.

Read Morepoem, titled ‘suffering’.
Suffering Negative experiences, negative overall contexts, and certain memories preoccupy you, and will continue to do so until you are buried under the earth, and appear lifeless and immobile. As they should, perhaps. I’m starting to believe that these phenomena should induce intense suffering, or else you might not be classified as a feeling (sentient)…

I don’t want this blog post (or essay) to be any sort of manifesto on my disinterest in the macro- and mezzo-level elements of life. I don’t intend for this essay to be a statement on my disinterest in (socio)political affairs. But I would like it if this essay can be seen as a thesis…
