What are your core beliefs?
What are your core beliefs? My therapist asked me what my core beliefs were. I thought about it and here are my top ten core beliefs.
1. The world is full of suffering, inequality, injustice, and deaths.
2. I hate being alive. I wish I never existed.
3. I wish I could go back in time and prevent all suffering, inequality, injustice, and deaths but I can't.
4. I wish I could make all living things forever happy but I can't.
5. I wish I could make all living things all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful but I can't.
6. I have saved and improved many lives but nothing I do is ever enough. I never feel good enough.
7. I am tired of my CPTSD, Bipolar Disorder and Chronic Pains.
8. I wish I had killed myself when I was a child.
9. We are all doomed to suffer and die.
10. I wish nothing ever existed.

The reason I haven't taken my life is that would harm my family. I have a duty of care to them. I have a duty of care to all living things. I do my best to save and improve all lives, but I can't save and improve all lives despite my best efforts. 99.9% of all the species to evolve so far on Earth are already extinct. The remaining 0.1% will also die.
Do no harm as in: What we find harmful, I try not to do to anyone'.
Have courage as in: I expect the worst, prepare for the best and try to accept whatever comes.
Trust evidence as in this motto: In Nature We Trust.
I love your core beliefs. They are much more helpful than mine. I am working on replacing my core beliefs with helpful ones. Thank you for sharing.
1. Live and help live, live and love.
2. Help all, harm none.
3. Life is worth living despite the negative aspects.
4. We work together to save and improve all lives.
5. We can't change the past, but we can learn from the past and change the future for the better by making wiser choices in the present.
If some group rapes and murders your own are you allowed to hit back or is it still “do no harm?” You really committed to that one? Or is it only until someone else crosses a line? I call bullshit.
Someone starts giving opinions or attitudes you don’t like “do no harm” is getting scrapped real fast. Bullshit. Like you.
Keep throwing the insults, hypocrite.
Religious people are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are religious.
Amen. :smirk:
