Sometimes I hear people say schizophrenia takes away your personality,even I used to think so,maybe it’s not so true because I think character/personality can be changed by work,event in life or just time…I think a outgoing,eliquent person you see today,10 years later he might Not like to go outside and don’t speak as well
When I was 11-12 years old I was sent to a tuition teacher house for academic purpose…I was very disciplined during my stay at the teachers house and somehow I was the most popular guy at my class…I believe it was the everyday canning from the teacher who wanted my results to improve and the suffering from the canning bring out my bright,cheerful personality…i think suffering in life bring out the best of someone
Yeah, you may be right. I am empathetic towards people with mental illness. We’re not saints though. I think suffering brought me more understanding of people.
The great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky believed that suffering ennobled people. Personally, I believe all suffering ought to be in moderation. If a person gets more suffering than he can handle it can ruin him. He is not ennobled. He often becomes vain, egotistical, and petty. It is good to practice a wholesome self discipline, but real suffering helps no one.
Canning , are you kidding? I know it happened a long time ago , but that does not excuse it. This person wasn’t your parent ,
It may have being acceptable back then, but in the near past & present day this would be viewed as damaging to the person , emotionally speaking.
Hardship can help people to strive to overcome but its not a rule you can apply to everyone , there are people that had decent non abusive upbringings that go on and accomplish great things and then there are people that never overcame , and sadly perished.
You gotta go through hell to get to heaven
You gotta understand what it’s like to be crazy to be sane
You gotta experience depression to understand what it’s like to be truly happy.
What is heaven with no hell? What is sanity with no insanity? What is happiness with no depression?
Everything is relative. And we experience both sides (hopefully the positive ones)
It reminds me of a quote , or a passage more aptly:
‘It is only a beginning, always. The young must know it; the old must
know it. It must always sustain us, because the greatness comes not when
things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really
tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes,
because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how
magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.’
Who from? Richard Nixon on resigning the presidancy.
i honestly cant remember what i was like before i got sick…doesn’t really matter we are who we are, accept it and move on…i know im alot more ■■■■■■ in the head that’s for sure…but then again i was always ■■■■■■…
Just one question… Does it have to be ME who suffers? I can think of several people I’d like to nominate to take my place. Also pretty sure their suffering would make ME feel better, too.
(Yes, I’m dysfunctional, but you all knew that already.)
Maybe, suffering is a way of washing our sins. Humans are sinful. I think wisdom, love, patience, working hard, and serving in gratitude makes a person better… suffering is meant to be painful.
Suffering made me a jerk. But it brought out the truth that religion is garbage hello it just is. Look up. Literally we are here. Sorry for being a jerk, it’s just what suffering and schizophrenia made me.
