MedicineMane's Positive Ponies

If people got sick and suffered because they weren't moral enough, and the rich got rich to reward them for being oh so good (despite lacking an ounce of decency in behavior)... then fine... it's true... still a shitty system and I'll have no part in it

I'd rather try and help the reject trash that earned their suffering through immoral behavior than aspire to be divine and rich. If that was the way the world worked, then go fuck yourself because your wretched dammed still deserve more compassion than fuckers that would structure things like that

I don't know, anytime people try to argue something like prosperity gospel it's just like, I don't really care if it's true or not, cause even if it is your can still blow it out your ass

This is why I personally just don't care about the afterlife... cause I'm gonna do what I'm fucking gonna do to help no matter what

Someone's god could come tell me to my face that what I'm doing is wrong, and... well... tough shit, I can't stand to do anything else. There's suffering in the here and now, and I'm far from sufficient, but I've got to do what I can to lessen it

So it doesn't really matter if some deity demands it or forbids it or it's all pure chance... I gotta do the same thing regardless

I wish I was better, I wish I could do more for people... but I gotta do whatever I can

So let prosperity gospel be bullshit, let it be real, I don't give a fuck. I'm not a legalist, I don't care what unjust laws say. If people happen to be right about the universe running on some bullshit system, it's still bullshit and I reject it

What's actually true is that when you're focused on something you'll keep an eye out for opportunities to make it happen, simple as that

I did as damn close to "manifestation" to get my house as exists, but it's that I said "I need a house and will do whatever it takes", and so I leveraged opportunities when they came, I looked for alternatives when I couldn't afford a god damn thing anywhere else in this state, and I ended up with a house in the middle of nowhere that needs a lot of work which meant it was only $90k

I was negative and depressed plenty, I was discouraged plenty, my thoughts didn't have a damn thing to do with what happened except that I was focused and kept looking for ways to make things work

I think I pulled off something closer to what these cracks preach than anything they pull off, and I'm telling you that shit ain't magic, it's just being engaged with something meaning I dug for opportunities and was decisive... and a lot of it was still luck

Prosperity gospel is horse shit, manifestation is horse shit... it's fucking poison, despite knowing better and getting it's all horse shit, because of how I was raised I'm afraid to even say our write bad things because it feels like I'll make them come true... how fucked is that? I know that's not how it works, and I'm still afraid cause I was raised with that kind of superstition since I was tiny

I'd love to just stamp those caustic beliefs out. Good and ill fortune aren't tied to your moral character, to the thoughts you have, they aren't tied to much of anything

The truth is we live in a very chaotic world where things just happen and someone getting sick, someone going broke, someone suffering tragedy... it's mostly just chance mixed with the systems we as a society have in place

There's no magic solution, there's only getting out there and taking care of others when they're suffering and if we're lucky maybe others will do the same for us

I don't ever publicly say it because it goes against my principles, but I'm correct
