I'm getting mentally ill listening to media and feeling awful about life hearing about bad people making it and good people suffering?

Answer 1

Lu:16:19: There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Lu:16:20: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

Lu:16:21: And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Lu:16:22: And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Lu:16:23: And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Lu:16:24: And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Lu:16:25: But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.



M't:20:27: And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:



M't:5:3: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

M't:5:4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

M't:5:5: Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

M't:5:6: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

M't:5:7: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

M't:5:8: Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

M't:5:9: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

M't:5:10: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

M't:5:11: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

M't:11:6: And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Answer 2

its not about whether you are bad or good. Its about the choices you make to get where you need to be.



God rains on the just and unjust alike. He loves us all the same. And treat us no differently. Everyone has the same chance for redemption just as everyone has the same chance to slide away.



One thing I do think play a part in why people suffer is their thoughts. If you are constantly badgering yourself with things that haven't gone right and everything that is going wrong you are going to be miserable. If something don't work the first time, try something new. Don't give up. Stop looking back and look forward. Lots wife turned into a pillar of salt for looking back. You cant get anywhere without determination. And if you cant at least have faith in your own self and abilities, at least have faith that God is capable. Keep moving but remain patient. You cant rush Gods timing. Meanwhile enjoy what you have and what you do. But continuously work towards what you want. And do not be discourage but encouraged. Speak Life on you Life



God bless

Answer 3

Easy solution, plug off your tv!

Answer 4

Lies need a stage, the truth does not.



It's amazing how many of us beat our heads against our own walls (Minds in boxes, the insidious nature of TV and the internet can be poisonous, and subconsciously affect us in ways we sometimes don't fully understand due to the unconscious machination of lying hawks whom claim the stage, to entice and antagonize in you that which they have capitulated to in order to sell something or cash in on human frailties - (Liars and idols who superimpose, thus impression the minds of children with false words, pretty faces, perfect body's, sexuality and violence) – This can bog the mind thus mentality down. (Look up idolatry) There are those who earn the stage and those who claim the stage, those who claim the stage are lairs.

A major weakness of people being impression-ed by suggestibility with a propensity to become associated and identified.



False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

Phædo 91 Plato



Just down the road from us will be rolling country side with amazing views, running streams, lakes and the seaside.

Church groups, Dance, Local Charity Groups, - Mountain biking or cycling clubs are great, camping out, fishing, walks along the hills and mountains, walks along a beach, photography, this is our true nature.

-------------------------------------------------------------



One thing is true from which we can't escape; if we overindulge in anything at all we may suffer the consequences. Many things can cause depression which creeps upon us unawares, like mental/emotional trauma, prolonged physical pain and prolonged feeling of sadness. (Depression is mental and emotional)

If we're feeling sad for too long for whatever reason, or have experienced damaging emotional trauma and don’t deal with it ~ overcome it, we're in danger of inducing a little depression upon our selves. (Even flying high for too long can cause depression ~ living the high life, or becoming way too confounded and identified with material things, worldly goods and even our body's - seeking happiness outside of our selves) - All material things are temporal and not to be identified with.



“Materialism, attachment to things of the world, includes pride. Many religious people suffer from pride: taking pleasure or even delight in being good, or religious.”

― Idries Shah, Sufi Thought and Action



If one realizes the evanescent nature of things, one is no longer attached to them, and thus frinds peace. Mental disturbance and pain are caused by our attachment to transitory objects, taking them to be permanent. CHAPTER XI - P71 - ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA

Answer 5

No, I suspect the media is not making you mentally ill: there is a deeper issue that has caused you to "suffer" all your life. Right now, you are suffering depression (perhaps you always have). Also, your depression has gotten to the point of suicidal ideation.



I can help you with your last though on helping you decide if you want to live or die. You do not want to die, you want to live -but live a life free from pain and "suffering." True?



Your best help right now, because my intition tells me you are really deeply depressed, is to get with a psychiatrist. You need to start feeling immediate relief so that you can start seeing some hope -correct? Once you start seeing some hope, THEN you will start snowballing and getting better and better. The way to kick start this is with a psychiatrist.



In addtion to the psychiatrist, you will also want to get with a psychologist. The psychologist will be your ongoing therapist who is an outsider expertised in helping you analize your life and pick out WHY you feel the way you do. THEN help you build a new scaffolding and plan to start living happily!



In addition to the two psychs, you also want to start deepening your spirituality -whatever that means for you. Studies show that people who are in touch with their spiritual side have better resilience to the jostles and junk in life. Excercise also helps, especially excercise in nature.



Do not loose faith in people in leadership roles. Understand that, due to the nature of the general public (half of which have below average intelligence), the news that sells in media is bad news and corruption. People generally don't pay good money to hear stories of good and moral people. They pay good money to hear about corruption, whistle-blowing, etc. Therefore, the media (who has to pay their own bills and feed their own children), in order to stay in buisess, must publish what the general public is wanting to pay good money for. There are WAAY more good and decent leaders than bad ones.



Finally, stop trying to contol other people (like mom). You cannot make other people refrain from doing stupid things. Everyone is their own master. The longer you try to make your mom do something, the harder it is on YOU, not her.



Good luck!

Answer 6

Sorry about the media getting to you, "my bad..." I was testing a new real reality series and most of what you saw has been staged; ie: war of the world's type style 21st century style...



In any case, please disregard anything that does not please you.



Please press 9 to discontinue communication...



Just sayin' Just playin' but really it's all a trap, don't fall into it. Life is good, all tv is just propaganda for entertainment purposes only. Unless you wanna be a dummy with someone's hand up your butt. Change the channel comedy central has some real good stuff.

Answer 9

.



Considering all the sick and twisted violent fare on TV these days, I'm surprised that we have any sane people left in the world anymore.



If you're watching that kind of junk, no wonder you're depressed.



Go to the Library and check out some self-help type books.



It's a cheap way to do something beneficial for yourself.

Answer 10

There are bad people in this world....but fortunately there are more good people

Answer 11

You have to be strong in the belief that just because bad people are stronger and more successful, it doesnt mean that they are right. In the long run you will feel a lot better still suporting the good than the bad.



You also feel that the media is affecting you but this is because you are feeling vulnerable. Most people know that the media is nonsense and day time tv is worse. Why dont you try switching it off and and take control of your life?



Why dont you do something more constructive like read or write?

Maybe you could write an e-book an put it on the internet. You could also earn money from it.



And just imagine all those poor people in third world countries that would love to swap places with you and would make more from your situation than you.



You need discipline basically.

Answer 12

Why listen to something that's going to make you feel bad when you can listen to or watch something light hearted and good.



Watch a light hearted movie that will make you laugh or feel good about yourself. Inspiring movies or some good music that will lift your spirits.

Answer 13

The world sucks but at least 83 was a great year to be born.

Answer 14

Be patient and hang on your life till 40, then you will overcome all that troubles and illness.

Answer 15

Well...keep in mind that madness is the emergency exit!

@Artemis- So, I see you gave up on reality.

Answer 16

We are souls - spiritual beings having a human experience. Soul is consciousness - the kind which is independent of the brain or body - it has no physical characteristics.



We souls are here on earth to experience, learn and grow spiritually.



This physical universe is a virtual reality simulation SCHOOL for us souls. It’s an illusion – it’s like learning to fly in a flight simulator – you can’t crash and die in a flight simulator. We souls are immortal and indestructible. We're just playing this multi-player video game called earth. We are not allowed to remember that we are souls because we are supposed to take this school seriously and really feel the pain of loss and death.







“Earth is a school for learning duality and understanding “opposites,” which helps you fast track your spiritual growth. Reincarnation and freewill are the tools for this spiritual growth. For every fantastic lifetime of love, joy, and happiness, there has been an equally strong and negative emotional experience of devastation, hardship, pain, and suffering.



There are no such things as hell, the devil or satan; these are false manmade beliefs, which were created for explaining the unloving attributes of pain, suffering, chaos, and destruction created by early civilizations (infant souls). As souls, each one of you has had many different lifetimes on Earth. Before each incarnational cycle, you decide what lessons you want to learn, the basic requirements for your life and the type of polarized experiences you want to explore on Earth.



Reincarnation helps you master your lessons in duality. You have killed and been killed by others; you have been male and female, including mother, father, son, uncle, grandmother etc. You have been a soldier, warrior, villain, farmer, and artist. You have experienced suffering, disease, illness, poverty, pain, joy, love, freedom, and fear. To learn from all the possible lessons of duality that has been possible on Earth, you have experienced every different human aspect available on the planet. Today, many souls have now come to the end of their study of duality. Many of you have nothing more left to learn on Earth.



The major purpose of reincarnation is learning and also clearing “uncompleted” life lessons from previous lifetimes. After you master your lessons, you do not need to repeat them again. The number of experiences or reincarnated lives is completely a matter of choice for each soul. Some souls may experience hundreds of incarnations while others may master the same lesson in five incarnations.



Before you incarnate from the spirit world, a group of spiritual advisors helps you decide the lessons you need to experience in this lifetime. Between incarnations, all souls return to the “Spirit World”. Your spiritual advisors are known as your “Council of Elders”. The Council review and refine your spiritual lessons for your incarnation. This is known as your “Incarnational Contract,” which serves the purpose for each incarnation. Your contract also includes the need to teach and/or learn from other individual/s or groups of souls, thus you establish mutual contracts with others.



Situations and events are created to bring souls together to learn these lessons. Once the soul contract is finalized, you then select the secondary aspects such as the time and place of your birth, your parents, siblings, sexuality, health status, pets etc and then you finally incarnate into the body during gestation to begin a new incarnation. When you are born, you have amnesia (known as the Veil of Forgetfulness). You start your new life without any recollection of previous incarnations or lessons you have to master in this lifetime.



Each spiritual being has a different spiritual path. There is no right or wrong. Every good and bad experience gets you one step closer to perfection. Compassion means that no person has the right to judge another person’s decisions, choices, and wrongdoings, because you do not know what the spiritual lessons and/or karma those souls are here to experience.



Your spiritual development is dependent on your ability to consciously evaluate each human experience, understand lessons, accept the consequences of your actions and overcome your weaknesses, until you perfect your lessons. Else you will have to repeat the same script in your next lifetime.”
