  What's the point of it all anyway??

  by Maddie in

  i am getting to wonder what the point of life is anyway.

  are we just a product of evolution with the sole purpose of survival?

  i feel so confused and anxious right now.

  I have been thinking about everything and am trying to keep it in the day. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery". This saying is used by people in Recovery Programmes for addictions. It is a good way of coping and one that I am going to try to apply to the "JW syndrom" that I have. I think that the FDS make us co-dependent on them and this a sickness which is very hard to overcome and recover from. Breaking away from any co-dependent relationship is painful and this one has stopped me growing emotionally ( stunted growth). Addictions do the same thing, whether it's alcohol or drugs. They seem to be a really good and trustworthy friend to begin with by giving a false sense of well-being and escape from the horrors of reality. In the end though they take everything from you and more - family, friends, emotional and mental stability, until they destroy you totally. Many people have overcome their "demons" and found themselves again. So there is life after the borg - just one day at a time.

  Sorry I just couldn't carry on with my thread last night. I started crying so I guess stuff needed to come out.

  I know that it a case of "time will heal" (hopefully) and I am so pleased that I found you all and value your experiences and advice so thank you.

  I can't seem to make decisions any more because I don't trust myself to make the right ones. I don't know who I am at the moment, can't seem to concentrate on much and not really interested in doing much anyway. I won't go on feeling like this surely but how long does it last ?

  I feel so confused and anxious right now. I have a washing machine head - tons of thoughts, doctrines, fears going round and round and round. Is it normal to feel like this when you come on JWD, part of the process of leaving the borg, or is it me going weird?

  Where does the human conscience come from?

  by bluesapphire in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am on the borderline of becoming atheist/agnostic.

  but i still can't figure out the human conscience.

  since the conscience is innate to only the human animal, how did that evolve?.

  I have had this discussion with an evolutionist who believes that conscience has evolved for the perpetuation of the human species i.e. to enable us to live together without totally wiping eachother out.

  Sociologists view is that as soon as a child is born it begins the conditioning process of "what to do and what not to do".
