No Reaction

I don't know what it is
But to bad news I seem to not react anymore
Am not heartless I know this
But it seems that I closed some kind of door

Or maybe I made peace that life is full of it
Ups and downs come and go
So maybe that's my way of dealing with it?

I am not gonna cry and say that I passed through a lot
I really don't think so and I like what I got
I know more people in my life who passed through way more

You think I am growing old?
And this is some kind of wisdom that I should hold
I know that I grew different but am sure as hell ain't cold

A friend of mine called today crying on the phone
Said my mom got cancer and I feel so alone
So I went straight to her to offer my support

I couldn't shed a tear but I could relate to her fear
I held her really tight and said I promise I will always be near
Is it really me or is it really cancer that keeps touching people I care for?

Or is it that I learned that crying wont help the one in need?
Usually when you feel life is over you look for a strong wall on which you can lean
So maybe being the wall turned some part of me to stone?

This is just a rant filled with some questions running through my head
It's not really a poem
Just asking myself am I emotionally dead?

No need to apologise, I can relate to it in a way, I've written one before similar. For me anyway I feel music, films and tv do quite a bit to de-sensitise us, there is so much bad news and horrible things going on after a while I suppose you just get used to seeing it. When it comes to not crying for death I'm not so sure, I will never cry when people die but that's because I'm pretty sure of an after life and think we will be together with loved ones and friends again. When it comes to love issues though I have recently found that I cry a lot more for that. I suppose emotions are just hard to understand. Hopefully some of that made sense, I got a bit carried away >. >

@Stablish yeah I understand what u r saying but u see I don't believe in after life and I feel like am just becoming more desensitized towards death. Or maybe I see that life goes on anyway. I am really not sure. Yes the media displays alot of things that is horrible and maybe by time one becomes numb. But is it good? As for love I not sure too. It's a roller coaster ride on that one.

I know what you mean hun. Nothing shocks or surprises me anymore really 😒 Great write hun πŸ‘β€πŸ˜˜

@leelee101 yes exactly this is how I feel. But am not sure if I should be sad if that's the case thoughπŸ˜”

@leelee101 and for the rp will be sharing a cake with u till figure it out 🍰🍰

@RichWithey hmmmm haven't looked at it from the perspective but maybe in this situation yeah. But still remains like Lee said nothing shocks me anymore

@sarahgamal you're just a bit desensitised hun. You need a bit of a thrill or something new in your life. But like Rich says, doesn't mean you're not feeling anything at all. πŸ‘ It'll all work out sweety you'll be ok. πŸ‘β€πŸ˜˜

[This comment has been deleted]

Awww, you strike me as someone with way too much kindness and compassion to ever be emotionally dead. Sometimes we must put ourselves on mute to take care of ourselves. Maybe your just taking a break to recharge. 😘

@RichWithey true but we should really stop the "getting older" line 😊 we "get wiser" sounds nicer

@ckahn hmmm maybe u r right. I like how u described it really. Maybe it's true 😘

@leelee101 maybe ur right. And I shall continue with my journey 😘

Hugs hun πŸ˜” no more tears

@chickgamer yeah πŸ˜” but I really don't feel bad. Sending u hugs too 😘😘

@sarahgamal that's the way to go sweetheart. πŸ‘β€πŸ˜˜

This is tough I think what we are subjected to does desensitise us for sure but I'm sure things still move you? Like @RichWithey said shock isn't our only emotion I'm certain you still have a heart πŸ˜‰β€πŸ˜˜

@sjw it's true am still moved by other things. Maybe too much death all around be it media or streets made just blank towards death or illnesses. Really don't know. It's ok though. Kisses for rp Sienna 😘😘

There's this Hindu tale that goes like this / this sages wife dies , and he sheds one tear, then realizes that all grief and and sorrow are selfish emotions , people only cry for the dead because they feel "they" have lost something, it's the loss of what ever emotional need that certain deceased person filled for the surviving, is why people cry for the dead, after he shed a tear, he got on his drum in celebration of his wife passing out of the realm of suffering , you can also read Ralph Waldo Emerson when he lost his child with similar things said / but what I think , is that there is so much suffering in the world , and cruel deaths worst than cancer happening every minute to innocence even , in my opinion I'd be all to lucky to get cancer and die, life is still sacred , but the usurpation of the world has become some what insufferable , and most children are robbed of their purpose on life, by being smashed into an unfitting mould, buy parents trying to right their wrongs through there children or making then take up the family profession , but mostly , as Thomas Paine say in his book Common Sense, " the gov is the destruction of all innocence"

@Stablish I believe in an after life ,but also believe@sarahgamal that life goes black when those lights go out , oblivion is at times still better than a life of suffering ,/ as for the shock theory , it's good , to not be be shocked , evil take advantage of people in moments of weakness, and trust, there is going to a lot of these in future specifically designed to shock and terrify the populous , cont to keep your head on your shoulders , and never stop self reflecting and moving forward to your enviable death , and hopefully by the time your reach that point you'll answer all your own questions

@wolfwaff wowww very enlightening. And the tale makes me think. But woww. Thank u. Actually makes me feel better. The ending of the tale describes how I feel really about the ending of suffering. Who are you!!😳

A regular dude , who's done extensive inner seeking into the source of my creation all source , and keep my solitude even amongst a crowd , actually it's as simple as this , search for truth , every spirit is embedded into our innate ability , to determine genuine universal truth , it might sound tacky , but just always listen to my heart and what it tells me, because all it tells me is truth , I'm nobody special , I'm no better than any one , that harkening to always going for what's the right thing to do , I guess it gives me insight , that and massive suffering, and the perseverance of. It makes me really happy that my words helped you even in a small way , very few do

@sarahgamal thank you , for being one of the few earnest people out there,gives me hope

@wolfwaff thank u actually but now u left me wanting to know more. I do follow my heart and wherever it leads I don't regret, like everything happens for a reason sort of thing. Found some peace but not 100% and I wanna reach there. And I do understand solitude. But seriously this conversation is moving me towards finding and researching more.

In which direction are you going to take in your searching ,the paths, only be of vice or virtue , and depending on that choice will determine , the strength of one spirit, intent is all,,even with identical actions ,your will alone , is responsible for every thing , to your everything , but all intent of nature, be for betterment of every other living within there ecosystem , it's basic biology , every living organism has a niche , and as the bible says among many other older books ,"and it was good"so the key to conscious expansion is "good " , and every thing against nature is "bad"/but the deeper you into meta thoery,and quantum mechanics , it's not as Aristotle thought good and bad to be ,he said it was only pleasure and pain, but to the natural order of the universe and come to find paradox is non existent , "to be good is to suffer" and to be "is to only of pleasure is bad" , pain and suffering , for all organisms, is necessary , for the betterment of all nature as a whole, a field mouse dies, and a family of new born hawk chicks , seek the most selfless path as possible and you'll soon know more then I've could ever possibly read

hawk chicks are all fed@sarahgamal

I write a lot, because that's what I am a writer, I don't need a pay check for it , for it to be of my identity

@wolfwaff interesting theories, I don't agree crying over the death of someone is a selfish act or is always about our loss, it's just as easy to cry for what they have missed out on i.e a life and what about when we shed a tear for someone that isn't known to us that we have no emotional attachment to? and I'm wondering if oblivion is better than a life of suffering for some people, if a life of suffering is all someone has known do you really think they'd see death as a welcome escape? also how is it good not to be shocked wouldn't that mean we've become desensitised to everything? weaknesses IMO are not a negative thing.

[This comment has been deleted]

@RichWithey @sjw think it's more of accepting the circle of life maybe. I don't think anyone can live without no emotions yes.

[This comment has been deleted]

@RichWithey glad it made sense! Lol agree with your statement about weaknesses but they are what makes us human, and I would rather have weaknesses than be cold and uncaring, I don't believe because our world can be a hard place that we need to be 😘

@sarahgamal totally agree with the circle of life, and like Rich said caring about lack of emotions shows a great depth of emotion πŸ˜‰@sarahgamal

I'm not saying dont care , or cut your emotions off , but to step back and detach from the situation at hand , to gain a higher perspective , weakness are man greatest strength , and I weak mine like armor , but the reason for crying some you don't knows pain, is that we all connected in a collective mind and soul, and if you don't believe you mustn't be hard ,in a hard world , you obviously havnt been to my neighbor hood , or any place at war , your tears are selfish unless they be of joy, am I saying that it's not of human phycology ,no, not at all , but all phycology is based in soulless means , with no aspect of a soul even existing , humans are do suffer from the condition of existing , but in our current limited way of looking at it,very many people don't under they create the condition that's not killing just them, but all, if one starves in a time where the fact that we now have to the means by our creation technology to solve , they family of people you cry for you don't kno , like for some euthopian kid that dies from famine , would actually be insulted , I believe in ancient Alexandrian Plutonian beliefs , that there is a higher level of existence and an ultimate reality , that's beyond speech and even 3d human thought , many of the worst of things ever have been on purpose , for a few to lord over the rest , I cry sometimes for people whom die , but it gets me kno wear , tears are the washing of dirty souls, I try to keep my as fresh as possible,and knowing that most cruelty could be stopped is every one believed all life was as sacred as their very own ,but the individual pride in ego trumps life, every dead person could care less about being dead, for either heaven ,or silent black, keep them so , and if they do , it's only because the personal egos of their loved cause their spirits pain, they really most likely wish every one would

On , and not be in pain for the biggest part of life journey , the final adventure of death , celebrate the dead, don't mourn them , they were dead from the beginning , finite impermanent fixtures humans are on this planet ,

@sjw @RichWithey , I treat it and feel it through the universal language , that most don't possess , and is slowing Dieing, like the lies that kill our planet , that language is and with always be "respect "

Well personally it's shock and terror , and a singularity and lucifer effect reaction that got the Jews there holocaust , all evil is excepted by the masses , just as long as it's not happening to them, and after they survived those death camps and got Israel as a state , they went and brutally murdered and tortured 80 + thousand more innocent Arabs , there's a point were you still feel the pain of the world , but the shock keeps you from doing so , and the fear keeping from doing anything about it, and the terror has become humanity comfort blanket , without it , the species as a whole would have to own up to ruling there own world together , and who wants to do that,we're all to much comfortable and busy with placating ourselves to side step that mega responsibility , thus we asked for servitude and kings , because the righteous died , each and every time we crucified them instead of placing power upon them,because sin but more pleasuring , than being of the honor of God

Just saying ,,sorry for the missing words and terrible grammar ,I have mad learning dyslexia, a suffering , that has made me read more , once I realized , the shock was fear, at being humiliated for in from of my whole class,and realizing I had a phobia , in that self actualization , has give. Me all these cool thoughts , that believe it or not, we're widely accepted in ancient history , but conflicted with the greed of the other , thus they were removed from your eyes , that only fed , rhetoric, , all revolution is fought out of fear after the shock wears off and you pin point where that fear is stemming from , only then can find your courage and bravery of shear power of conscious WILL, the free will to realize , I'm fearful , because I'm not condoned to act upon its un surpassing power,

So maybe we all need to start thinking differently ,me included , and actually fight and win the first revaluation formed out of Love,united, there's a first time for every thing , Idk , hippies got smashed into becoming the fearful again , so really think about it , talk is talk , actions control the universe , but first it must be said , before it is understood "there is no control, only understanding "

@wolfwaff ok I haven't been to your neighbourhood but I've had experiences that could've left me hard but I choose not to let negativity change who I am as a person, doesn't that take a greater strength? I do agree with some of what you've said we are selfish as humans and tend to look no further than our own backyard, but I just don't get that tears are a negative or selfish thing, mourning the death of someone or thing is a natural process but like Rich says you've covered so much it's hard to address everything, but like he says humility and compassion are what makes a difference, is Alexandrian beliefs related to the Coptic Christians of Egypt?

The Alexandrian thought , would be best for you to look into that one your self , but honest @RichWithey @sjw and the people of like minds , is whom change the world , both of you exhibited the most truthful answers of ideas I've ever experience , over the Internet or any forum, I'll take both of your responses , and cherish the truth of your open minds , it really was a most pleasurable , to know people think deeply about serous matters , your truth adheres to me true indeed , yours actions are another a story , if they are the like mine, if we're to act in what we know to be true , the stimulus of pain enters the equation , and we all night sing different tunes, or maybe a more beautiful one, either or in excited to see this next decade unfold

immight*

My definition of of hard is the same as Thomas paines, the author of that often coined term "common sense "

Which believe it or not is an awesome but of the impossibility of equality , which is now fact I'm crazy math equations that I only understand from the philosophy of that being of the "EPR paradox", we live in a time of warp drives insanely built bio deep space suits , and of no one will tell you this , but the discovering of anti-matter and the out secret ability to know what makes it tick , and harnessing it as the most powers energy force in the physical universe , were judgement as tradition still exist , as machio Kaku defines class civilization , we'd prolly be the most barbaric Class 3 civilization in the history of the universe , while also being the youngest

Apologies for the grammatical errors again
