The trees ahead and bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you. If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren. If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows Where you are. You must let it find you. https://grateful.org/resource/lost-david-wagoner/ Lost ~ A Poem By David Wagoner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExNDE2umWT4 A lyrical bridge between past, present and future | David Whyte - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Lu85L111Y always depressed.. #mentalhealthma...

What song makes you cry?

  === Q: What's a song that makes you cry? A : "She used to be mine" by Sara Bareilles. Even when you see people cover it, it still gets to me. The point of view in the song is that she's looking at herself as a broken person." - https://www.tiktok.com/@mikebirbiglia/video/7242848540517535022?_r=1&_t=8d3P4y2hq5u   She Used to Be Mine by Sara Bareilles It's not simple to say Most days I don't recognize me These shoes and this apron That place and its patrons Have taken more than I gave 'em It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be Although it's true I was never attention sweet center I still remember that girl She's imperfect but she tries She is good but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up And baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine It's not what I asked for Sometime...

James Acaster Talks About His Teenage Existential Crisis

James Acaster discusses his teenage existential crisis resulting from a car accident, causing him to question the meaning of life and become suicidal. Raised Christian but no longer practicing, he sought guidance from a vicar who failed to acknowledge the weight of the situation. After reading a handbook on CBT and speaking with a counselor, James learned to reframe his perspective and find comfort in spending time with loved ones. He also speaks about his parents' approach to Christianity, presented as faith rather than forced, and how his father, a science teacher, taught them about evolution.

Latrogenesis

"We use amphetamines to conveniently modify the behaviour of bored boys because we're too stupid to construct our education systems in a manner that doesn't drive them mad. Hyperactivity is an iatrogenic disease created by schools. Boys should play way more than they do. They should play to the point of exhaustion in some sense every day. They'll quit when they've had enough. I bet your hyperactive son has no trouble paying attention when he's playing video games... that's worth thinking about." -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeRh7l2zZnk "Iatrogenesis is the causation of a disease, a harmful complication, or other ill effect by any medical activity, including diagnosis, intervention, error, or negligence. First used in this sense in 1924, the term was introduced to sociology in 1976 by Ivan Illich, alleging that industrialized societies impair quality of life by overmedicalizing life. Iatrogenesis may thus include mental suffering via medical...

The Trans Debate: In Conversation with Helen Joyce

  Summary of: The Trans Debate: In Conversation with Helen Joyce 00:00:00 - 01:15:00 In this YouTube video, author Helen Joyce discusses the trans debate with the host, covering topics such as the difference between sex and gender, the demands of transgender activists, and the problems with self-ID and misgendering legislation. Joyce argues that individuals who identify with gender dysphoria should not be free to self-identify as any gender they choose, as it has serious consequences such as placing rapists in women's prisons instead of men's prisons and persecuting individuals for expressing genders they do not identify with. Finally, the speakers discuss the complexity of defining sex based on physical characteristics and its consequences in different areas of life. In a conversation about the trans debate, Helen Joyce argues that authorities are failing to protect trans people by inciting violence against them, and she disputes the notion that there have always been trans p...
