I am very stubborn when I want to be. But saying no repetitively wore that down. Although the break did help to rekindle the spark

Itās however we perceive things on moods. Itās naturally a trait for many but itās a scarcity mindset and dishes significant matters to the side. Universally speaking, itās a very sad outlook on life coated with disdain.
āWhy?ā You ask,
Itās metaphorically speaking. But climbing mountains are fun as well! 
What significant matters?
I know. I asked why you believe we should metaphorically climb mountains?
Letās no derail the thread, Iāll Pm you. 
Thanks, but I have no interest in private debates.
Need an audience mate? 
Nope. It is important to have two opposing ideas out in the open so people can determine their own conclusions. And I could say that you wish to make this private because you are not as steadfast in your beliefs as you present, but thatās just semantics.
So, why should we metaphorically climb mountains? This is not a derailment because it has relevance to the OPās statements.

Metaphorically speaking, Life is a bit like climbing a mountain, thereās intervals that we must āclimbā and itās hard when we try to overcome obstacles then when we reach the decline, it is relief.
You want to plant your pride on top of the mountain and itās all about determination, zest for life and vitality! If you need more elaborate responses Iām all for it
Why must we climb?
Why?
That ends with no rapturous payoff; no great conclusion, just darkness, nothingness. So why strive for life and vitality? Perhaps it is just the instinct of self-preservation programmed into us that āmotivatesā us, and not our āselvesā? Determinism, not free will.
Youāre looking way too far into it. Thatās quite annoying, Iād hate to be your friend in real life lol. Take things with a grain of salt and donāt over-complicate it like a neurotic adult, simplify it. thereās many parables, quotes, poems and epiphanies that use metaphorical jargon, if you canāt differentiate it between whatās been said and what they mean by it, thatās a social cue problemā¦ whatās so wrong with peace, love and understanding?
Thatās just a cop out for people who do not or cannot analyse.
I can differentiate I just donāt buy into the blind optimism that you are selling, and so Iām questioning you about your product.
They are unattainable because they are constructs of the mind that contradict human nature, and a line stolen from someone as delusional as John Lennon is not going to change that.

I empathize so much with what you said. The hardest thing is being in a desperate situation that you know you cannot recover from and also realizing that your best, desperate efforts havenāt produced any visible fruit.
Failure results in death for me, so I donāt actually have to worry about whether or not to give it up. I suppose that will be decided for me in due time, but in the meantime I intend to keep to trying because itās the only thread of hope I really have to hang onto. I also donāt want my chronic depression to sabotage my efforts any more than I can help it.
I sometimes wonder if I should start a group working, but I also donāt know how many BALG members are interesting in helping other members outside of sharing advice. I do appreciate any advice given to me, though.

Iāve joined a few of these. Sometimes I learn something and others I donāt. Most people respond that it was a positive experience and they gained a lot from it- but Iāve not actually seen any fruit come from it other than experience in helping others and branching out in the type of magical practices Iād do. Maybe I donāt normally do love work, but someone requests it, so when itās their turn Iāll give it my all for moment.
So itās been good experience like I said, the lack of results has probably been due to either who joined or poorly choosing what I wanted the group to work on for me.
Whether or not I join, depends on the duration of the group- I have a lot going on always so anything longer than a month is usually too big of a commitment for me, and the nature of the work expect- as well what Iāve observed from the group former. Sometimes Iāll join just because I want to learn more about the theories presented and give it a chance.

Maybe, a little overwhelmed too? I think thereās a lot of the oh shit this is real. Thereās also the clash of why I grew up knowing and what I have come to learn. Itās just a lot. Thatās why I wanted to make this a place where people can just talk about what happens in their lows. Sometimes it is easier when we are not alone.
