Discussion Do you believe being alive is to be strong and successful or to live knowing vulnerability and pain?

[idelttoilfsadness21]

This question can be interpreted three types of ways:

• from how one sees life

• being made to acknowledge privilege and power dynamics

• becoming aware of what society truly is and how people live in this world

that is exactly what I am speaking on today in this manner.


People believe that being strong is to not be weak and to succeed in life and that YOU are a problem for your existence and your own life, ignoring the true reality and the truth behind what's truly in their small brains they can not wish to comprehend for a second that people who suffer actually have to deal with having to change constantly to find some grounds within them to succeed or they are vulnerable anyways to be deemed worthless that oftentimes, those who lost, sees the real truth and sees being alive for being vulnerability and pain in this world, while those are privileged enough to see us as flawed humans arhat needs to apply the very law of power to succeed in life to remain strong in order to live, which doesn't make any sense because people aren't made to change themselves for others and feel so pressured to if they are struggling anyways…


It puts a lot to even misinterpret the truth too.

I think to live a "good" life you need to be strong, to be able to persist through advercity. Being succesful I feel like can have multiple meanings, for some it can be being famous or rich or have a succesful career, but I don't think we should dismiss having a family and other things. I think sucess isn't everything and being a "Loser" it's ok.

You need to accept everything the good and the bad in you and just do your best the be a "Good" person, whatever that means to you.

And being strong doesn't mean not feeling sad, any other negative emotion, is to be able to keep going despite them, in that sennse depressive people or people with mental health issues are some of the strongest,, specially those who are still capable of having compassion and empathy and kindness.

I think it is easy to be "good" when everything in life is going well, it's in the hard time people show their true colors
