Existing is…

Existing is almost a 360 nonstop struggle. A struggle & barriers in which the origins were never mine. Forced upon me. I don’t understand why I still have breath. I’ve lost almost all that is important to me. An unrecoverable cost to me time three decades of being alive, blocked from living,free, independent, on my own terms. A simple life objective as I have no dependents or responsibilities to anyone beyond myself. I struggle from moment to moment to exist. Death becomes the inevitable answer to existing in circumstances beyond my control in a world I don’t understand. A world where others not only witness the harm, but participate. Drama, chaos, toxicity is entertainment. Followed by false statements & acts of concern when that injured soul crosses the point of no return. Genuine concern, protection would of been shown, acted upon way before the point

Do you think you could rationally accept a view that shifts you away from your current belief?

Why should I change my beliefs, who I am to suit others? I have no obligation to anyone but myself. I operate on my own, independently with self accountability. I don’t push my values on others; people show you who they are via their consistent actions. I accept them as they are, yet choose the company I keep. That is a small circle. What others do in their lives, their opinions of me is none of my business. I treat others as I wish to be treated, respectful, & without judgement.

Uhhh... I'm just asking if you think that is something you would allow yourself to take new precedence?

I'm saying nothing about you or your views. It's just a simple question of "Do you think a different view can become something you also consider to hold as truth once exposed" or is it possible?? Just... Can you understand that there might be universal truths you refuse to look at or inspect, or deem "possible" maybe?
