Holden,
Thank you for your message and the video clips. These tension-type headaches or migraines are really harmful. I had an appointment with a neurologist so I am taking melatonin to sleep. There are medications I can no longer ingest because my system can´t take them.
Yes, these ancient Roman thinkers were truly wise. They saw life
,as you say, as a period of unrest. Life is not a gift but millions would say that life is beautiful. We, human beings, are optimistic by nature.
Last week I heard on a Paraguayan radio station that in the countryside a 3-year-old girl was murdered by her stepfather ,who is 24 years old, with a hose. He said that he could not stand
her screams. He and the mother were arrested. That guy will not survive in prison and neither will the mother.
This kind of news is, well, nothing new here. I also heard that two little boys were rescued by the police also in the countryside. They were abandoned by the mother, so it seems and the biological father is in prison and the mother was living with a stepfather. From time to time I see men wearing masks with crutches asking for money in the street.
Sometimes I would like to become a psycopath. Totally devoid of feelings,emotions, in short, zero empathy. I would like to hurt people deeply and joyfully. What would it feel to feel nothing? Would I become a monster?
But that won´t happen because I am different.
And no matter how damaged I am I still have feelings.
Stay safe.
