RE: Why Do Some People Bully Others and Enjoy Creating Misery and Suffering?
Some people think it's all your own fault for "attracting" them, in some "New Ager" pseudo-spiritual mindset about the so-called "Law of Attraction"... like this person, whom I objected to their blanket oversimplified generalized statement "What Ever is Going on in Your Life, You are Attracting it":
A blanket statement like: "What Ever is Going on in Your Life, You are Attracting it" is false. If someone starts harassing you, trolling you online, or someone does you harm in real life, you are not always attracting it and to blame. Some people have psychological issues and like to be malicious to others.
But yes, on the heading: "If you're not succeeding on Steemit, the fault is entirely your own!"
That is how the title can validly apply. But not as a blanket statement.
Take care. Peace.
To which they simply flat out denied how this is not true, that their title is a "true" blanket statement:
Krnel, if those things are happening to you on the regular, you are attracting it. And, for the record, in some way you did attract it. Those are just the facts. I didn't make this up. Yes, there are people who are insane, so what? How does that negate any of this? It doesn't.
And that inspired me to create this post. Never underestimate the power of denial. It' strong.
Take care. Peace.
Yet you are attracting your attention towards it.
The law of attraction is very real, do you understand it @kernal ?
Now you're playing with semantics, and are confused in your attempt to describe it, or are confused in how you falsely understand it. I do understand the Real Law of Attraction, Cause and Effect of what you sow you reap. If you do no harm to someone, then harm done to you by them is not the false "Law of Attraction".
For example. Someone who initiates violence towards you. To simply claims "What Ever is Going on in Your Life, You are Attracting it", as if you attracted that person creating violence towards, is 100% pure idiocy.
Now, to claim that you have eyes of external perception, linked to your internal perception in consciousness, and you re going to pay attention to the violence being done to you. Yes, I sure as hell hope so and that you stand up for yourself and stop it. It;s not "attracting" the actual violence done to you.
The "Law of Attraction" can be interpreted in many ways, and lot of them are PURE BS, like the above oversimplified false perception of how reality works. It's a convenient "Feel-good" belief to "make sense" of the randomness and chaos in the world, and falsely place blame on someone who did no harm and was not deserving of receiving harm.
that fits my definition of crazy. There are nine hundred thousand and nine ways to define CRAZY and all of them are RIGHT. Crazy is a chaotic system. Emphasis on CHAOS. (in the mathematical sense) there is no point in classifying and categorizing them because they are absolutely unlimited in extent. New ones are emerging every day.
the only thing that is possible is to recognize the crazy. Manage it if possible or avoid it.
Stay AWAY from violent people. Avoid them
