Treasures from the Houshold of guidance.

[Brian37]

Oh ok, well I’m glad to hear he is getting help. That’s all anyone can do. But you’re right, if he is resistant to receiving help, it’s going to diminish its effects.

This is all rather difficult. How should we respond to MK? In general, how should we respond to someone who we have reason to believe isn’t mentally well? I don’t mean to be patronising, but to ask a serious question. Do we:

1) Treat them as we would anyone else and hope that our points make some sort of impact?

2) Treat them with kid gloves, either in a more noncommittal way or even going along with what they say?

3) Not interact with them at all?

I honestly don’t know what would be most beneficial, from their point of view, or from a moral point of view.

PS: I appreciate MK is probably going to disagree with my assessment, and that there’s not an issue here. But I would be interested to know how he would theoretically think it is best to treat someone who is mentally unwell.

Everyone experiences mental illness differently. In my case, the demons and sorcerers did what they did,  to keep me from clarity and guidance, they did all to keep me away from Mohammad's family, the family of guidance.

And had I held on to God's rope from the onset, I would never been ill, and would be easily somewhere else right now.

And If I held on to God's rope earlier I would have long been cured.

They have failed and will continue to fail.

Why do you keep doing this, MK?

Because I cling to hope.

Mystic, I suffer from anxiety and depression myself. Do not let my tough talk her fool you. 

It is OK to have these problems. What matters isn't that you have them, but how you address them. 

Religion does not answer psychological problems. It at best can only act as a crutch. But it isn't a good problem solver long term.

When I posted the Metallica song, sure it was sarcastic on my part. But the meaning of the song isn't to believe in evil spirits, but to face your fears and deal with them.

Thus the line,

"It's just the beast
Under your bed
In the closet 
IN YOUR HEAD"

The last line is the truth. Humans often let superstition scare them, when the truth is if you look under your bed, or in the closet, there are nothing but shadows someone falsely convinced you were real, and put those superstitions in your head.'

I used to fear God. I literally as a kid, used to look under my bed and in my closet at night trying to avoid that fictional evil spirit, monster, that never existed. 

MK, IT IS OK to have fears, it is ok to have depression and anxiety. I have those things too. It is not good to assign real mental health problems to fictional beings that do not exist.
