Are we all broken on some level, and if so should we try repairing each other to move on? [/color]

[/color]Some people don't want to be repaired though, some prefer to stew in their selves, looking down on others and trying to depress themselves further.I think this is an awesome starting point. I wonder why we do it, is it self punishment of some kind? What happened to us to make this stream of thought prevalent in interaction?I agree with this sentiment because I can fully relate. I seem bent on stagnation, and I'm not sure why. I think it has to do with attachment, personally. From my childhood I cling to my worst memories. In trying to understand and process them I often wonder if I'm really doing it to move on, or to cement the redundant qualities that prohibit self expansion. I wonder if it's because I ultimately assert that I'm worthless and incapable. The issue is that this isn't how I feel consciously, and I'm afraid it's ingrained in my mind and perhaps my personality. It makes one question if they're doomed. And if they are doomed, what is the point of making a situation better?What do you think?

I think all of us are or have been broken at some point, and sometimes trying to help the person with it might only make it worse. I think if we are going to try to help someone, we should wait for them to accept the help, instead of us forcing it upon them.

I am very broken, but I try to remain zen.

Some people will never ask for help even if they need it.

Some people will never ask for help even if they need it.True, but in most of my experiences, it only made the person mad and deny it. I tried helping but they denyed it, so I let them figure out their situation by themselves, until finally they came back to me for help.

Are we all broken on some level

Yet even if we're all in the gutter, don't we sometimes see the stars and wonder?
Quote from: Epsira on December 16, 2014, 01:57:34 PMYet even if we're all in the gutter, don't we sometimes see the stars and wonder?Looking can be nice.But the distance just seems further when you're already on the ground.
