But shouldn't the emotional misery be tempered with joy , fun , and just basic happiness once in awhile ??
i used to like to go trail hiking ,i love the trees nature ect ect ,, and i have done many things that i see others are enjoying and i do not see it .. it is like everything is DULL . i know that it is not me physchologically . i am very aware . i have been self examing and focusing for years , and as a result of that i am pretty healthy .. but still a work in progress just like everyone else .. but what is this Dull thing .. gotta be biological .. i remember going out in snowstorms and it being so enchanting . truly , now it is dull , i have no answers ...> In addition to biological vs. behavioral etiologies of mental/emotional distress, I think there are also characterological and existential considerations. I think that biological treatments can go so far and no further; behavioral techniques and good behavioral hygiene can go so far; and beyond that there is a certain amount of emotional suffering that is just part of the human condition...
hey i can get with that , but again i say i live a life where there is no temperance ,, everything feels like a push to do ..
I am no intellectual Giant in philosophy , i am just interested in it because i think alot.. about alot of things and i find this interests me ...but there has to be more .. i see people enjoying a smattering of things and i know i used to also , now it is dull , why is this ??be easy with me on the philosophy terms because i do not know them ,so explain some of these things to me ... i will try and find some of your posts in the religion section , thanks , laura
