I understand the primary purpose of Psych Central as a forum of mutual support.

I didn't appreciate my last post being dissected and criticized, when clearly it was meant as a positive and supportive comment. As well, it expressed some of my own thoughts and beliefs in a non-preaching manner.


I certainly did not mean to offend anyone by the use of soulfulness. This word could just mean full of life and animation. One meaning of the word spiritual might mean spirited or animated.

Frankly, some comments on this thread are so depressing it is forcing me to no longer check in. It is one thing to disagree but quite another to disrespect the comments of another by dissecting them in order to "prove" them somehow ineffectual or infantile.


As I am fighting an often deep depression caused by dire life circumstances I guess I just don't have the stamina (presently) for intellectual partying.


Maybe nihilism is "right" thinking for some but for me it is anti-life and arrogant and ultimately shows a lack of gratitude, and reciprocity. It is a dead end and finally, it truly makes a person unattractive. My final opinion. Seeking a more benign and uplifting venue. Good luck in your quest, Michael.
