SteveHein Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I want to say that, though i am new here, i appreciate that this forum exists. i appreciate that stefan molyneux exists. i have struggled to find a "home" in the world. i am now the property of the usa government. i must carry their passport wherever i go. and if i am naughty some other govt will send me back to my owners or masters. just like in the days of slavery you guys understand this here. or i am pretty sure u do. so i dont think i need to explain this concept more, it hurts to have to try over and over to explain myself. but this is one thing i think many pple here will "get" another thing many of u will "get" is how it feels to be an atheist - surrounded by .... well lets just say people who arent. so thanks to everyone who feels some connection with what i just wrote. i have been feeling very alone. to the point of suicidal feelings. so making connections --- real ones, deep ones, not facebook ones -- is important to me right now again thanks for reading - tfr steve
Emanuel Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Welcome to the board, Steve! I know how you feel, a sane mind in an insane world, maybe? This forum is like a luxurious hotel-oasis in the middle of a terrible desert that is life. I'm sorry that you're feeling alone, and I hope that you can find something to make you enjoy life. Thank you for sharing this and have a good day.

Coreforcruxes Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Nice to meet you Steve, I certainly do not think you are alone at all, though my time here has been short it has been invaluable. I remember what i built up the FDR forums to be in my mind and I am still seeing how much it matches up. I followed Stefan's work for more than a year all the while seeing the forums as an Ivory city on a sun draped hill in the distance. I thought of it as a place that literally the best people inhabited. Not only the smartest, but the healthiest (in form and action), and the only place where the all too overlooked emotional competency were acknowledge and regarded as a facet of self to develop along with the other two aspects. again, you are so, so, not alone. i can't speak for anyone else but I know what it is to feel like you are the only sane person. That either everyone else got a secret handbook and is playing along to it, or that you really are smarter in some fundamental way than those around you. And to speak up too loudly would only lead to the attempt of stamping you out like wildfire. and I have to tell you it is refreshing to feel like you are occasionally in the company of people who are smarter, wiser and more virtuous than you are, it is relief from an anxiety that personally I have never known. ok, thats enough ranting. I am really glad you made it here and I hope its everything you want/need it to be.
