Suicide: The Facts

[UnViaje]

its all about mentality to me, i'm not one who believes in that chemical/physical ailment bs. i see it as a choice. i was depressed for a long time, but later realized it was stupid n a waste of valuable time. a valuable paradigm nonetheless.

[QUOTE=Stoner Shadow Wolf]"mental illness"? mental illness??!?

mental is incapable of becoming ill, the way a person thinks and feels cannot be chalked up to ILLNESS. illness affects the brain, it affects the body, IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE MIND! perhaps it secondhandedly affects the mind, for example, misery. the misery you might feel in learning you will never again be able to communicate properly, because you're missing a huge portion of brain matter.[/QUO



What are you on about? Of course there is Mental illness. Look at my Ct scan or my MRI. In my case there are actual lesions on my brain. MS caused this. (Same thing Richard Pryor had and he was a crazy mofo,.. lol)

"mental illness"? mental illness??!?

This is so wrong on so many levels. Lots of illnesses affect the way people think. If you're dying of pneumonia you're not going to score as high on an IQ test as you would if perfectly healthy.

How you feel cannot be chalked up to illness??? If you're sick you "feel bad"!

Mental processes are electrical in nature. The thoughts themselves are nonphysical of course but the process of thinking has to do with neurons and synapses firing which have to do with weak electric charges. It is virtually impossible to distinguish mental from physical and we don't really need to do so.

the mind and brain are seperate, the mind is a remote controll device that operates a brain.


so OF COURSE a defective brain is going to show signs of illness, but it is not caused on a mental level, nor can it be adequately percieved by the mind which uses the defective brain.

if the reciever in your RC goes bad, it's not the electrical airwaves that are at fault.

Remote Control eh? How do you measure/weigh that? What organ is the "Remote Control",.. unless of course you're speaking of the soul?

think of the brain as an RC human.
think of your mind as the remote controll.

if the reciever in the RC car, the brain in the body, gets broken, why is it the controller's, the mind's, fault?

yeah, spirit, soul, mind, ego, they're all kind of mixed and jumbled...


the mind is a house of nothing where thoughts exist and reside, unconscious nothings.

the ego is an individual mind which houses no thoughts, but can observe thoughts, and give to them reality uponm doing so.

the soul is the essence of the ego's self, the residual self image, a mental projection of the ego.

the spirit is much like the soul, but retains little to no consciousness, you must work to reacquire your spirit, it is the most pure and divine part of your self and ego.


none of which are physical in the least bit, all of which play roles in creating the physical reality we exist in.

Where the fekk is this "remote control", ya mean Big Brother has a chip in ya making you perform to specs? Your "mind" is a collection of thoughts, experiences and sensations stored in the Brain. Your brain is the computer.

i think i see where ssw is coming from. but to me, i see the brain as a transceiver, accepting and sending out intangible info, brain rain. also saw that somewhere talking about spirituality.
