Ok, everyone, raise your hand if you believe that you are not your body?
Ooh, ooh, me me!
Ok, next question,
Now raise your hand if you believe that you chose to be born into this life like some kind of navigating soul and are now bound to a body for the life of its experience?
Ooh, ooh, me!
Ok, now that we have that out the way...
How do you answer the following serious questions?
So you've had a pretty hard life, eh? (awww, you poor bugger) Like, WTF? Why would God do such a thing? Ok, so we've eliminated the agency of 'god' in this equation with the first two qualifiers of this article...
Why would you choose such a life?
Lessons.
Masochistic/sadistic nature.
I didn't have a choice - the soul washing machine put me here.
God is a cunt.
Stop asking questions and just accept what is (and possibly become holier than other 'woke' people through the simple act of acceptance).
I created the perfect trauma recipe for having life skills to survive in this particular time in history.
A mixture of some or all of the above (or something else - place in comment).
Place your answers below!
Infact I'm going to convert this post into a manual poll (drung!! that was the magic sound of manual pollifying a post).
What fun!
Everyone, come and vote (in the comments and I will count them - dpoll shits me in its non-functionality)... (or don't, if you don't provide a vote it just proves that I am more woke than you are! (btw, I always use sound logic to back up my reasoning!))
Let's consult the 'woke' Hive mind!
For the purposes of continuity and addressing the key heading here - 'My trauma is better than yours' - I will delve into the first option a little here.
Why would you choose such a life?
1. Lessons
So, you've come to the magnanimous realisation that life is a big lesson and because of the bad things your daddy did to you and your coming out of that - finding peace and acceptance eventually ("oh, it's been hard, woe - but I did it!") - and also in this seeing the cracks of the facade of society because you were so distracted by the trauma that you were constantly facing in a shell shocked kind of way within (how convenient!) - you are now miraculously holier than other people who have had no trauma or less trauma than you.
First,
if you needed trauma to be holy - well someone that is just a good person for the sake of it, without trauma is infinitely better than you - they chose it of their own agency! Wow!
If you indeed chose this life and chose this trauma to make you into a holy being through a pre-destined path - then - you in actual fact decided to remove your capacity for free-will in this life so you would be guaranteed certain capacities, skills and emotional intelligence as a result of coming out of said trauma (should of course you come out of it).
So, let's first establish that someone that can give unconditionally and love unconditionally without the need to plan a traumatic existence in order to be like this is a perfect being (love those perfect people - you can't pin a single piece of shit on them!).
And you, who has chosen to use trauma to manipulate your awareness in order to 'lock-in' certain capacities - are actually a much lower level of consciousness despite your perceived level of holiness after that long eventful warrior battle and enigmatic thorny path walk of coming out of this trauma.
Something that is a little funny within the 'woke' circle is an interesting phenomenon where 'woke' individuals will participate in the unspoken competition of the 'Grand Trauma Athletics'. (I want my favourite masochist to win! Yeah!).
"I've been running this trauma marathon for longer than you have and have planned better trauma then you have in life! Therefore my potential and capacity for holiness is better than yours and I am more 'woke' than you!"
"Can't you see what makes me holy?"
"I am holy and holier than you motherfucker because I have come out of all this shit and I have come out of MORE shit than you, you 'woke underling'!"
Yet, the fact remains that if you do believe in pre-destination from birth - then you chose this life and you chose to manipulate your behaviour by guiding yourself into a traumatic fucked up life in order to manipulate who you would become today - to what - save humanity? Oh gees...
You masochistic fuck!
(Over here folks, we've got another closet messianic... bring the emergency logic brigade).
If teaching by example was a thing - then you approve of such a way of doing things in others and even encourage it. Let's all just plan the most traumatic experiences we can next time we're in the out of body club! Hell, let's just keep planning realities in which this trauma can exist so we can keep being more and more holy!
Is my soul so bereft of essence that I cannot see how holy your trauma has made you and how necessary it was for you to train your body into such a contorted conundrum as this path of supreme pain (erhm, I mean enlightenment)?
You decide!
Answer the poll!
