two questions..
- what’s this positive thinking everyone keeps talking about? i mean what goes through the head of a person whose optimistic when something bad happens?
- what is the thing that would hypothetically push you to suicide?
and what would you write in your suicide note? and who would you address it to?
ok, they were five questions.. so sue me!
okey ! zero out of five for me in ur test !
“i mean what goes through the head of a person whose optimistic when something bad happens? ”
loooooooool. I loved this question! My sentiments exactly….
“what’s this positive thinking everyone keeps talking about?” - Its nothing magical my dear, its not even positive as its own attribute. Its positive, but only relatively to someone else’s thought. Put simply, its just another thought, it might even be the same, but crucially “it feels good”.
“What goes through the head of a person whose optimistic when something bad happens?” - Same thing that goes through the head of the pessimist, really. Its what happens before and what happens next that makes the pivotal point. Optimists anticipate “good” things and are more resilient.
“What is the thing that would hypothetically push you to suicide?” - There isn’t really “one thing” that pushes people to suicide. There is, however, a point where those who commit suicide reach, characterized by a state of “deminished morality”. This progress to this is highly incremental and dependent on the events that contribute to it.
“What would you write in your suicide note? and who would you address it to?” - I’d write one to myself, saying “Glad you’re still around!!”
Question:what’s this positive thinking everyone keeps talking about? i mean what goes through the head of a person whose optimistic when something bad happens?
Odd’s answer: I think the term ‘positive’ is misleading. What you’re referring to is possibly the concept of “letting go”. If something bad happens, rather than boiling over it for weeks, months, or even years, you should just let it go. It was meant to happen. It probably contributed in many ways to your life besides the ‘negative’ thoughts that you constantly bring back. Once you get over that stage, you’ll realise that there MUST be some good (regardless of how small) that came out of a situation.
As for what goes through the mind of the person, probably something like “oh well, at least I didn’t get run over by a bus”… or “oh well, at least I am alive and have food on my table” - People like that tend to compare themselves to the large chunk of humans in the world who are dying of poverty and are living in more miserable conditions than you can imagine.
Question: what is the thing that would hypothetically push you to suicide? and what would you write in your suicide note? and who would you address it to?
Odd’s answer: People have different tolerances to things. My grandma, for example, lost her brother, husband, and son all within a few months from each other. She didn’t commit suicide as a result, she lived till she peacefully died in her 80s. On the other hand, some politician recently was busted having an affair with a secretary, he couldn’t handle the media attention and the break-up of his family, so he attempted suicide. Two events, with great differences in ‘intensity’ - one made the person stronger, the other lead the person to give up.
As for suicide notes - they’re the laughing item of every suicide. I mean, if a person is not smart/strong enough to live on and make their point, why would anyone take their word after they’re gone? If you have something to say, say it alive and do it when you’re in a position to be there and defend your view. A suicide note ends up in police files, if it’s worth keeping. So no - no suicide note from me!
