Yes, I was born on this planet, but I'm sure that in my previous lives, I explored many planets and stars.

It's totally ok to have a little unusual belives, belives that are not mainstream. You are not alone about having these belives. I'm sure there are communities on the internett where you can find like minded :) There is no guarantee that you'll find them here though :P :wink:

Am I the only one whos not looking forward to Pokemon XY ending? Sure, Sun and moon looks pretty fun, but I feel like I have to say goodbye to my friends (the characters in the game, yes, I was that lonely before I joined this site) when Sun and Moon comes out. :(

Impulsiveness is one of the last things that one would describe me as.

And yes :( my conscience has been blown to proportions but the question is why is it?



:lol: It's really stupid. Initiating acts of compassion makes me guilty. Apathy makes me a bit guilty (just way less than the former). Malice just has the worst kind of effect.
Even if logic dictates it's necessary or appropriate, even something I could empathize that is the right thing to do, it just screams and holds me back from initiating or making a choice out of it.

I've been ranting about this for... Who knows how long 8O it's just got worse.

Edna, could you be feeling prematurely guilty, imagining what would happen if you're making the wrong decision?

I wonder if a blind person would reject a cure for their blindness because it would change who they are.

Would a person in a wheelchair say, "No, I don't want to walk, thanks. The wheelchair is part of my identity."

Raleigh, as a blind person, I'm sure that gaining sight would change some interests and add a new dimension to my thoughts, but it would not change who I am as a person. I feel certain of that, as I feel strong in who I am. To clarify though, all life experiences change us somewhat, but it takes a lot to change someone at their core.

^ Do you think being cured of autism would change someone at their core?

Raleigh, I think it depends on what's being cured, how the so-called cure changes the person's way of thinking and feeling, and the life changes the "cured" person makes as a result. As an example, let's say Jane's main difficulty is sensory processing. She hardly ever goes anywhere because she has frequent meltdowns in busy environments, so she's developed lots of solitary interests and has trouble getting other people to understand the intensity of the problem. If you somehow cure Jane's sensory sensitivities and prevent her meltdowns, then she'll have more life choices open to her if that's what she wants.

On the other hand, what if Jane's "cure" is for her social difficulties instead? Let's say this "cure" works by artificially raising her feel-good chemicals in social situations and somehow rewiring the part of her brain that handles social cues. Now, her choices are less her own because her new responses change her likes and dislikes, as well as her thought processes. Once she chose to have "the cure," she started a cascade effect that changed her personality.

I wonder if I was once a Shinto priestess in a previous life? I seem to have instinctively picked up a lot of Japanese, and even think in Japanese sometimes. Once, I almost said 'Arigatou' instead of 'Thank you'.
