As I hope you will have discovered, this Board is respectful of individual's opinions and experiences.
However, this includes a responsibility to speak only for yourself. It is offensive to people like me to have a statement like
< We have all failed to
love our neighbor. We have all failed to give mercy to our neighbor. We have all failed to be kind to our neighbor.
We are failures. We are suffering because of that. >Of course, the world would be a much better place if people were kinder to their neighbours. But to state that those of us with psychological problems are suffering
because we did not do so, or that we are all 'failures' is completely wrong. There are many, many reasons (some not yet worked out) why such conditions occur. And some of the bravest
people I know are those who cope with psychological problems- they are far from 'failures'. A substantial percentage of people in all walks of life and degrees of success have problems at some point.Another point where I am concerned for you is your perspective that you can only get better if you gather other people into your method. This sounds very burdensome for you.
None of the theories I have heard which are proven to help people include this sort of rule. I hope that you will be able to find ways of getting thru your current problems without having to seek recruits.
