Thought is a curse because it is inherently disconnected from reality.

It makes you suffer with "it's not what you think". Reality is more complex.

When you torture yourself to adjust your thoughts to reality they no longer have the gleam of yonder years. No longer a happy escape. Just a reality corrected dread.

Thought by nature is hopless fantasy.

This is a retarded thread and God is a retarded tranny for trying to reverse the blame onto me for the fact that he forces me to live in a retarded hell world where he abuses me for eternity. Reality is hell, living in this hell reality makes me suffer, imagining better realities doesn't make me suffer, if I didn't have the ability to imagine better realities I would still be suffering because this reality is hell and forces me to suffer. God is a retarded sadistic tranny who thinks its not enough that he torture me in this retarded hell world but he also rapes my mind and abuses, harasses, terrorizes, threatens etc me for my thoughts which is basically the only place that it would even be possible to be happy, imagination, its not possible to be happy in this retarded hell, it would only be possible to be happy somewhere different and better than this retarded hell reality.

I would rather be a thoughtless animal wandering free and in touch with reality and nature 247. A sheep never worries about imaginary paper in the stock market. Cause it's not real.. Only animals are real. Only the thoughtless are real.

>Thought is a curse because it is inherently disconnected from reality.
Quite the contrary. It is inherently reality-shaped. Sometimes we misjudge how much a thought is affected by external vs internal reality, which motivations and biases play a role, but regardless a thought can never be disconnected.
>No longer a happy escape
Wait when they were a disconnected lala-land, they were a curse but now two lines later you yearn for the escape?
>Thought by nature is hopless fantasy
Imagine a new color then.
You're thinking a little too highly of the human mind. It's as reality-conforming as the tips of your fingers. It just happens to shape itself by concepts rather than by physical surfaces. There's nothing other-worldly about it.

Impossible. Thinking is like breathing.
Have you tried not breathing? Dumbass.

>>18703197
>reality shaped
I thought my posts will get a lot of replies but they get saged all the time.
I thought I will get a girlfriend just by texting her but she blocked me.
I thought I'm not that fat turns out I'm 104 kgs and borderline diabetic.

Thought is fucking stupid and never matches reality.

In fact I'd say the more the distance between and contrast between the two, the more normal things are.
>>
>>18703197
Also very bad analogy.
My fingers are perfectly attune with reality.
I don't take a coffee cup I just prepared and turn it upside down by mistake because there was a mismatch between the thought and the event.

>I thought
>replies, girlfriend, weight
A classic case of thoughts conforming to inner reality more than to the outer one. That thoughts are reality-shaped doesn't mean you are always correct. It just means they are connected. Are you perfectly aware what they're connected to? Sounds like no.

>A classic case of thoughts conforming to inner reality more than to the outer one
Understood and agreed.

>Are you perfectly aware what they're connected to?
Not sure what you mean by this.
Thought is like breath. It just happens. It doesn't need connection.
Or maybe it's connected to my own ego/hubris
>>
>>18703244
>My fingers are perfectly attune with reality.
They are incredibly poorly attuned to reality. But they contribute in the narrow subset of cases where they can be of any use. Your mind works the same way. The analogy is the best one in the world, fight me over it.
>I don't take a coffee cup I just prepared and turn it upside down by mistake because there was a mismatch between the thought and the event.
I don't know what you do or don't, but you can spill coffee due to your fingers, your thoughts or even your appendix. The goalpost isn't that your faculties have mastered reality, but that they are connected to it. How you handle and navigate that connection is up to you.

>Thought is like breath. It just happens. It doesn't need connection.
Breath does need connection. It speeds up and slows down based on heartrate, it makes sudden exhales or inhales based on emotion, it stops when water hits your face... it not only needs a connection, it is itself a connection between your blood and your environment.
And what I mean by "aware what they're connected to" is that you might have been experiencing ideas that you inherited from your parents or from TV and mistook them for signals you received from your environment. Your thoughts always have truth in them, but it's a long process figuring out what the truth is about.

Would you say that a fish that accidentally fell out of water and is dying is poorly attuned to reality?
>>
>>18703261
Of course all my ideas are from the tv.
>>
>>18703261
>>18703261
Look bro all your points sound good but you are not understanding my point, which is the fact that the mind fundamentally is out of touch with reality and this is the very basis of insanity. Let me get a picture real quick
>>
>>18703261
>>18704027
Assume you are locked inside a prison cell for 24 hours a day.

Your hands/fingers will immediately attune to the reality. Your thoughts won't (or mind won't)

You will constantly wish to be released. And reality with constantly deny you.

You will eventually go crazy and realize that thought is indeed suffering and I just realized my point that by using the hand analogy you proved me right :

The hand has no thoughts. It's merely a thing. Or fingers. So it attunes perfectly to reality. The mind can't.
>>
>>18703261
I still don't get what you mean but you maybe using the wrong word.
. You mean that circumstances influence thoughts not connections. Yes you are always connected to your circumstances. In this case >>18704033
Whether good or bad.

Connections is what you're confusing with the "environment" Or the surrounding immediable bubble of influence on your thoughts.
