Do they both come inside or do they also have ED from depression?

I don't want to heal, I want to guillotine some billionaires.

That is healing.

Cutting out tumors is part of the healing process.

Uncontrolled growth that blocks healthy cells from just doing their job and hogs all the resources. Hey, that metaphor ain't half bad!

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Guillotine and ice cream, a winning combination.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Oh my god yes. Tart cherry saffron and rose ice cream with pistachios and lemon syrup on top, and a slice of gold leaf chocolate cake (cherry filled to create a narrative cullinary thread) while i watch a billionaire killed?

Maybe someone cute to make out with as we watch the head come off? Fried savoury spicy noodles after? Some nice music?

What do you think healing looks like, if not that? 😌

[–] match@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've been thinking about it and Ilike stoning for this. Every person throwing a stone is deciding whether that person should suffer or die, and how much pain to inflict..

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Thats really beautiful, and a kind of poetic way to reach effective consensus.

Thank you. You're a beautiful person.

[–] digital_man@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

Include this 80s duder. Oof.

[–] fireweed@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It's difficult being a millennial and trying to confront the nostalgic feeling (that naturally comes with aging) that "things were better in my youth," because things objectively were better in my youth.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 12 points 1 week ago

I dunno, I hear stories from my coworkers about how bad East Germany and other former Soviet states were in the 80s/90s. It depends a lot on where you were fortunate enough to grow up.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Also ignorance is bliss and as kids we didn't give a shit about politics. But in this instance things were 100% better no doubt.

"I wish that none of this had happened"

"so do all who live too see such times, but that is not for them to decide. all we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us."

as hard as it to reconcile with the world disintegrating when you're coming together as a person (I'm in the same boat) I find the above quote gives me some courage to accept such a condition and to act steadfastly instead, as a testament that life is worth living and fighting for

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 18 points 1 week ago

Gandalf's line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.

My biggest fear is climate change tbh, trump, facism, and capitalism are terrible, but the biggest threat to the future of humanity is climate change

Everything is a distraction from the feedback loops

The world's healing progresses much more slowly than the individual's. We have hundreds of years of colonialism and ecological devastation to heal from and that shit won't happen overnight. You are part of the world and your healing makes the world better. Focus on what you can do and do that. Trying to take responsibility for the whole mess will destroy you, it's out of your hands.

Okay but if it could move in vaguely the same direction as me that would be great.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Looked outside? Not a question. Need a bone saw if we want to heal.

I, for one, feel a lot less crazy now that people are seeing what I have been seeing for a long time. I hear about it more even from old folks, my in laws now ask more questions as do my own parents. That gives me a lot of hope. Change is inevitable.

[–] allidoislietomyself@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same here. I've been saying for 25 years that the right wing Christian clowns were going to ruin this country and eventually the world. At the time my folks, family and friends all thought I was just some conspiracy nut.

I was born in 1984, how do you experience more ironic dystopian bullshit

We do, as a matter of fact, live in a society.

I hope things get better for you, fam.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like I said, I'm improving. It's the world falling apart around me that's making me feel it's a bit superfluous to be achieving mental stability at this point in life.

The world is improving: https://ourworldindata.org/sdgs it's only the media focusing on conflict, gore and problems as that sells better and keeps people scared. Go on healing and follow your path!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Some of the world is improving. Some has been regressing. The last 30 years weren't a very stable time, and even the accounts of what is happening is not reliable. Not acknowledging that has been incredibly harmful for everybody.

Anyway, yes, improve your life and the society around you. It's what you can do.

80s babies too

[–] plyth@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (5 children)

If you share how you improve, others could join. That could grow until everybody is healed.

Question is, what do healthy people want? Do they want to live in peace or do they prefer to fight and to risk everything?
