Wait am I allowed to feel or should I not
There are different types of meditation. Some outright encourage emotional feeling. Like there is a meditation where you just try to project love onto everybody in the world. A lot of people say “meditation” and mean “mindfulness meditation,” and in that case, you’re supposed to be aware of the sensations around you, but let go of other thoughts. So, you might have fleeting feelings or emotions, but without a conscious thought to maintain them, you also tend to let go of the emotions.
Probably the thing that unites types of meditation is that they are an attempt to control your attention.
Political memes?
Personal is political?
Get this reduction ad absurdio with “everything is political” the fuck out of here.

Everything is political. The person you responded to was trying to give an explanation, they wrote 3 words and a question mark. Whether they’re correct or not doesn’t matter, they were contributing.
Get your aggressive attitude and demand, like you’re some form of authority, the fuck out of here. It’s not conducive to a healthy community or discussion. Your aggression removed the possibility of discussion, not them.

Yikes. Time to put the phone down until you can be civil.
How is it contradictory?
If everything is political, there is no distinct element of political, hence nothing is political.
It’s a fallacy. And it’s fucking stupid as shit.
“Everything is political” is not self contradictory.
It’s merely the notion that in this current interconnected world, where global markets, macro economics and geopolitics spill over into media, marketing, trade, local economy, local governance, even the personal, onto the individual even, or indeed into the community, then it is reasonable to say that everything is political - because everything has been politicized in how everything has become so intertwined.
It seems though that some people don’t want focus on some political areas, because they want to draw benefit from blind spots, in order to assure that special interests alone holds influence over those areas - in a way trying to “depoliticize” - or deter democratization - for their own benefit.
In any case, politics is by it’s purest definition about how we deal with each other. When that then also deals with everything that touches your personal life, your family life, your community, culture, etc - it’s pretty safe to say that everything is political.
Yeah, I just accidentally posted this here instead of the shitpost comm while six eggnogs deep. You are fully wearing the “ackshually, everything is political!” clown costume :/
No. I made a case. You shouldn’t be throwing around words like logical fallacies without knowing what they actually mean and acting in bad faith with them - but it’s really just symptomatic.
You go on Lemmy to attack and berate people because you’re lashing out. There could be a myriad of reasons for this, but suffice to say: it is a sign of suffering.
You need to find a path to let go of your suffering. Therapy for instance is a much more productive way of handling internal turmoil. But taking walks in the woods, emptying your mind and doing good things for yourself can help too.
I hope you can find your way out of the darkness.
Bless.
Oops lmao
I never found the need nor the disposition to meditate but I can’t knock it since I’ve never actually tried it. I feel like my hyperactive and inattentive brain is allergic to it by default too, lol. The closest I ever get to what in my ignorance I can consider a “meditative mental space” is pacing around a room for hours thinking about things enthusiastically, a kind of flow-state in which time just flies by. 🤷

Oh, it is! Mine too! But that’s why it’s so helpful for us.
Meditating can do a lot to help manage adhd symptoms, such as improving focus and reducing mental clutter.
Go to gym
Pick up heavy disc
Brain turn off
Realize that I can chose to stop rethinking the thoughts I’ve already thought and replanning the things I’ve already planned.
Find that that’s WAY harder when I’m not physically active.
Get healthy mentally AND physically
The clear mind you get at the gym and meditation are very different, but both are great. Have both.
You forgor step 4:
- listen to Insane Clown Posse while working out
Get healthy mentally, physically, AND spiritually
This is why i like to do yoga for a similar meditative effect. Its easier to clear my mind when holding a position and the positions help promote long even breaths which help achieve a calm mental state.
I can see that. My favorite way to meditate is doing a long run. One foot in front of the other for 2-3 hours will do wonders for unraveling worries or complex problems.
The thoughts on long runs are a whole different animal.
“I dont remember that pain in my knee, is this my mind playing tricks or death”
1km later
“Ha it was my stupid mind. Im totally fine now I can try to process that critique my coworker gave me.”
1km later
“I think my coworker should try running it will help him be less reactionary, maybe I will invite him to my next workout.”
1km later
“My knee is going to fall off. Death awaits me.”
1km later
" ha that was my mind again right. So glad my coworker didnt see that. Never inviting him on a run"
1km later
“I could go slow and enjoy this but like Ricky Bobby i wanna go fast.”
1km later
“I NEED AIR. WHY DO PEOPLE RUN!?!!!”
[repeat until finished running. Runners high hits]
"Wow. That was great. Can’t wait to do it again. "
except the vague undercurrent? like, make an exception for it? OP should stick to meditation and not good-word-use-alyzing
