In this community we have fallen subject of perfectionism. Although some of us may already look/be good people we still strive for better. Not neccesarily a bad thing however some people dont know how to control this urge thus spiralling into a bottomless pit of emotions/sins which derail us from the very characteristics which make us human in this thread i will go through each sin and how much people have been affected by this overtime and how perfectionism and enviroment do not help this matter at all.

First u might be thinking mtn hell what is perfectionism. Well bhai perfectionism is when someone/something always stride to be perfect no matter what the cost. A more relatable example would be Jesus christ ( no im not preaching the gospel this is just relatable for many). Christians would see Jesus as the most perfect man to walk earth. However due to human sins such as ego and pride we couldn't fathom someone like Jesus therefore killing someone who is seen as perfect by many. In the bible God also rejects his own creation (humans) genesis 5:8 if im not wrong

Now more onto the sins which make us lose ourselves.

EGO:

Especially in this community we are surrounded by people who are better looking than us. However, this does not give us the right to put people down because of this nor gaining ego by ranking urself higher or thinking u are better than others. We are bettering ourselves through the help of each other not attempting to force people to rope.

On the other hand ego is neccesary to make decisions and take risk. Ego in scenarios and circumstances is ok and manageable. Ego is bad when it spirals out of control therefore humility and ego are needed in balance kinda like ying and yang.

A more generic scenario of ego affecting who we are being friend groups. Ill start with males.

Within male dominant friend groups ppl often diminish each other for uncontrollable or small details such as height, acne breakout or certain facial features like negative canthal tilt. However male freinds mask this by claiming its banter to help themselves feel better. People usually make fun of you to help themselves feel superior thus boosting their own ego.

In female dominant friend groups its quite the opposite. Using the same examples of uncontrollable and small details women would praise these features and make sure they feel good about these features which boosts a woman ego thus leading to something like hypergamy as 4ft girls now feel like they deserve 6ft+ men thanks to an exploded ego due to their enviroment.

The female freind group may seem fun at the start however leads to and exploded ego later on. Then again for a male friend group ur ego may be crushed however if u better urself u may diminish others after ur ascension.

This leads back to my previous point on balance. It is important to balance these actions more so we should be honest with each other and not diminish others. Without balance we lose ourselves and who we are often ranking or thinking of ourselved higher than we actually are which can be unhealthy.

LUST:

Women more so specifically, lust affects us as an unhealthy addiction. Some ppl i know are addicted to masturbating and know only find attraction to OF models or other sluts.

On the other hand women typically veiw a much hotter guy especially when targetting niches a very clear example being "nerds" in which sub humans think they have a chance experiencing love just because they somewhat fit a "nerdy" archetype. However thanks to this womans lust she only envisions a chad with glasses. A woman would get praised by this niche thus leading to an explosion of ego and a foid thinking she has a chance with a chad eventhough she needs a reality check from the mirror.

Then again lust isnt the best sin to have even if it is balanced although we should all have aspiration to have a girlfriend/boyfreind and maintain a healthy loving relationship.

GLUTTONY:

Dont eat like shit

ANGER:

People who lash out easily are weak mentally and cannot handle the truth. Thats the sad reality. However spreading and inflicting this rage onto others doesnt provide a good enviroment for children to grow up in. A very good example being rira/Richard Ramirez. He unfortunately faced a rough upbringing where his father lashed out often as he was unable to control his emotions thus leading to his rough upbringing and eventual adulthood.

Although anger is good in situations such as an army soldier who should have this rage and ego to kill the enemy normally anger should be avoided and certain situations definetly do not require anger. I remember as a kid my cousin slapped me because i couldnt see smoke from my food...ouch.

PRIDE:

More or less links back to ego


For now this is all the sins i can remember. I probably couldve went deeper but oh well.

It is important to balance and regulate these feelings as when these spiral out of control or we have too little of something we slowly lose what it means to be human and always strive to be something we are not. Although the truth is sad being our existence is a coincedence nothing matters and death is inevitable it doesnt mean we have to be mean ppl who make other life a living hell. An eye for an eye makes the world go blind. We should help each other as we should be proud to be humans. Its sad i get derailed in real life by a 5ft balding white person just because im brown. Reality is we all share death and birth together we should learn to regulate our feelings and remember who we are because we may firget we are all one species which inevitably make us lose ourselves and forget who we are.

Once again i smell the dnr but if u read this thread thank you and i truly wish all of you the best.

saving this

but

Low-effort content makes the forum look bad.
:banderas::banderas::banderas:
stop being so incompetent retard

Posts and threads are completely different. Applying the low-effort content policy to posts under a thread is useless unless you're having an elite-level discussion, and it can only kill engagement. All the posts under this thread would have been deleted otherwise, except this one.

I shouldn't have to say this; it should be common sense; unless you're high or something.

totally justified
It was not a spoiler marked as NSFW either.
3-day ban to negatively reinforce such behavior.

your ban message was "Innapropriate Content"

Nothing in the rules talks about innapropriate content, it was regular porn

We don't allow normal porn here without an NSFW tag. Neither do we follow the strict rules without improvisation.
It was graphic content intended solely to induce disgust. The inappropriate content is a prewritten warning template, if you haven't noticed yet, and it fits quite well.

You're able to edit the rules as you go & discover new things you find bad, it's not like every single place online bans NSFW content

I have perms to edit the rules, you do too, it's misleading if the rules aren't written in the rules tab.
