    Thank you for the reply :)

    Well, trying to teach others to think like me is not something I will attempt: in the end, what I have come to think about anything is just a result of my biography, there is no point in trying to imprint it onto other people. And for the coping part, two things:

    • the world was before me, will be after me. If I get wounded by how it is, that’s on me
    • I am not talking about good and bad being inconsequential, I am talking of them not existing as actual reality, same way words do not exist as reality: they mean what they mean only because some people agreed on it. There is nothing to cope with

      You obviously know that most people won’t understand you. I feel ya. People don’t understand me either.

        Yes, and I have spent tons of time trying to understand why. Did not reach the understanding, but looks like I am starting to accept this as is. Thank you for reminding that not all “other people” are “those who do not get me no matter how hard I try”

          The truth is hard. Much too hard for some. And who am I to spread the light? As you say, my truth is just that. It’s mine alone, and it likely won’t help anyone else.

          My friend. Well met.
