You had me rolling after "love and light, right?" Not everyone's gonna get it, but I enjoy the sinister touch to this post. You can't really know something if you're too afraid to question it. When it comes to positivity and motivation, no one wants to look into the darkness to find answers. It's always more well I don't if "fun" is the correct word to describe fulfilling to investigate further. Your opinion may be "unpopular" but at least it's not one-dimensional and I appreciate it.
Think of social media as a communal well, where we all come to slake our thirst. Anger, contempt & nihilism poison that well.
Sure, we all have negative emotions; but it’s a form of consideration to others to work on them.
On the other hand, it is spiritually-immature and self-indulgent/ego-driven to vent in this hateful manner—-especially, when there are countless others suffering far more than you, yet working through it, with grace & dignity.
Spreading darkness is unhelpful, Rok & glorifying suicide is very dangerous.
Here are two sayings you might meditate on:
The obstacle is the path. ~ Zen
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a "new heaven" first found the power thereto in their own hell.
Do you not feel there is an occasional time and place for total blunt honesty - if for no other purpose than offering a full spectrum of truth, rather than selective facades?
Do you feel it’s an impossibility that being authentic in giving expression to such passing emotions might actually be of service to someone at some point in time - providing a reflection to feelings they themselves feel at times, and thus providing some sense of connection and relief in the knowing they aren’t alone and might not have to remain in condemnation of their own experience, pushing it away where it’d only grow without processing through expression because it’s been deemed taboo?
Damn right, it’s #unpopular. But it’s part of the full spectrum of reality that humans deal with. And who’s to say that while a majority might look at with the commonly-held judgements of it being “negative,” there might be even one person who embraces it as medicine - finding in it an expression of emotion they have been too fearful of looking at or speaking themselves, and through the experience of it being articulated rather than suppressed, moving through the wave, perhaps experiencing its completed processing for the first time...?
Who’s to objective judge what’s “spreading darkness” - versus perhaps shining light into it, getting a good look at what’s actually in there? (Versus letting it remain darkness without such an exploration with awareness and the courage to be honest with what exists there).
Healing doesn’t take place without awareness. Awareness doesn’t happen without transitioning from denial to acceptance. And acceptance doesn’t mean staying stuck in a state - but acknowledging a necessary step in the path before being able to take the next beyond it...
(And thank you for the feedback - none of it was intended as a glorification of suicide, though upon rereading, I see where that may have been the impression and tweaked a few words accordingly to correct.)
Of course, there is art that is dark - and your input was needed to make a few refinements to this and get the alchemical blend right. Rushed it out and yeah, there was a toxicity in/to it that required edits and additions to get it where it needed to be as the full-spectrum piece intended - which would not happened without your bravery.
You shall be well-rewarded with gamma & blessings. 🙏⭐️
I kind of feel that way too. Usually it is only when I am driving though. Like what if I just rammed this guy off the road? Or wouldn't it be awesome if a truck just smashed into that person right now. Like you said though, I really don't want anyone to die or anything. I just want them out of my way! Road rage :)

Ye, I do believe in honesty, bluntness even, and helping others.
But, I'm sorry to say that you deceive yourself (are too deep in your dark hole to realize it) if you think that's what your post is doing, Rok.
Your post is ugly and violent, lashing out at others because of the pain you feel inside. This is not the way of one working on themselves.
Who specifically had I lashed out at?
(And thank you for the feedback - none of it was intended as a glorification of suicide, though upon rereading, I see where that may have been the impression and tweaked a few words accordingly to correct.)
I appreciate your gracious response, to my blunt honesty, in your service (as a fellow sufferer & seeker).
Consider this, Rok. This outburst of yours is not sometimes, but often.
You spoke, earlier, of dying to yourself (a necessary part of rebirth) yet I see this unbecoming, petulant rage as an undying part of the old you.
Consider, too, that at the heart of world-contempt lies self-contempt.
Lastly, you know who hates ‘love and light’ most? Forces of darkness.
Consider that you might be in the grip of this, as Blake said of Milton:
of the devil’s brigade without knowing it.
This would explain the destructive, deeply disturbing aspect of your post (it has left me physically sick).
You are a true friend.
Most would not go out of their way and share the way you have.
I didn’t consciously put this out as a test, yet somehow feel by this last response that you passed. Lol.
(I’m certain you shall feel lighter and well on the other side of the ‘purge.’ My apologies for the unintended side effects.)

Again, thank you for the feedback...

Maybe you ought to get some Tibetan Buddhist crystal bowl meditation soundtracks or something like that to listen to on the road... lol 😎
I'll throw my Enya CD in next time and see if that helps :)
