I used to believe I could. It's a cope, it never worked, and now I need to face the bitter reality.

Only you can make any decisions concerning your beliefs. If you still (so to believe) think there actually is a spoon, it most surely never will vanish for your personal sensing environment.

I've believed things before and they don't change just because I want them to. This is a mind prison, you have no control over anything. For example there's plenty of men out there who believe they're women...they're still men. And there's plenty of schizos who believe the earth is flat...it's still round. This isn't how it should be, but this existence is neither ethical nor fair, as much as we want to pretend that it is.

It is hard and unfair, i agree.

But in the details it surely is more complicated. My experience tought me this. And if i didn't "want" to learn it, it just switched bait, so to say. Meaning teaching me this fact in a more painful way.
