What would you do if you found out God existed

[WinterHold]

I agree that what Atlas is saying is coming off as insensitive, but I don't think he means it to be. He is disabled himself, and has personally found a sense of purpose in it, of which he is sharing here.

Being disabled doesn't give him the right to say what he did. If he wants to say that about himself - so be it. But how about not lumping every other disabled person in the same category as his stupid ass.

It should be mandatory for some people to have to take a sensitivity training class before being allowed to socialize with other people. IJS.

I have feelings; but I know exactly that they ruined the moment for me more than once. You must learn to think in an isolation from feelings; we're insignificant beings, and the more we look at the time stream around us, and everything else existing; we just know that we aren't that significant. We're only significant to each other.

Skies and other planets are bigger than us; been around longer than us; a single body in the cosmos might have a life span that exceeds ours combined as a race.

I think that nothing helped me more than thinking like this. I'm not significant but to myself; really. So my pain is mine to adapt to; and mine to overcome. And I'll tell every healthy person to look at me and learn to cherish what they have; because they are so lucky. But am I luckier for touching their lives this way?

I'm not that self-centered; Nymphadora. Yes; I might be selfish sometimes (all humans are to some degree), but I know very well that deep inside the minds of others, they pretty much think and picture many images that they don't like to tell about. I love to remind them (and remind myself; too) that we as humans, are insignificant creatures. It's an honor; not a shame. Disabled people should never be ashamed.
