Deep self doubt is inflicted upon us by the world, and by ourselves. My Goodness- we are labelled with the title 'Mentally Ill'! That very fact pushes other people to believe they have a right to not trust us and that their opinion must be the correct one. Not all, but anyone with an agenda.

I am fascinated by the fact that some people believe they are right about an infinite thought.

I have wondered if what I am feeling is real. I have wondered,"Is anything real"?

Maybe we are the lucky ones. Do we seek limitless thought? Does our soul help us with its whispering, "Finite thinking is wrong - there IS more".
I feel like I can't trust myself either. I see all these people who blindly trust themselves & who also preach their beliefs to others without ever really questioning them. Everyone thinks they are right but how do they know? I question myself at every turn. It's making me confused. I'm not sure what to believe anymore. I feel like others don't peel back the layers & that they themselves to be deceived a lot.
