Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?

[Tonus]

You of course are immune to attachment to material things therefore you are a superman.

This presumes a couple of things about materialism that seem incorrect.

1- If I replace a CRT with a flat screen because the flat screen is the better option, that doesn't make me immune to materialism.  It just means that some of my decisions are based (in small part, most likely) on rational considerations.  Since both items are material in nature, materialism factors in to some degree.

2- This seems to presume that materialism is bad.  There are few things that are good or bad in and of themselves.  A person can literally drink enough water to kill him.  Does that make water bad?  Is the person who only drinks as much as he needs "immune to an attachment to water"?

But no, once again you are immune to torments.

No, I'm just not neurotic.  Do you really spend your vacations so wracked by anxiety that you cannot enjoy yourself?  That's not normal IMO.  And being tolerant of risk isn't super-human.  It's something every human does, otherwise we could not function from day-to-day.

But once again this is not your problem.
You just are here to discuss for the sake to discuss.

Right.  As a social creature, I enjoy interaction with other humans.  I do this every day, whether online, or via the phone, or in person.  The benefits of such interaction outweigh the negatives.  Even this discussion, which is akin to holding a conversation with a spastic kitten, provides a greater benefit in the general scheme of things.  That I am able to learn while I do it is simply a perk.

This is very weird.  I was expecting you to try some sort of variation on the "you're not TRULY happy" approach, and I think that your response contains a bit of that.  But more than that, you seem to equate normal human behavior with something transcendent.  Really, it's not that hard to be happy or peaceful under the right circumstances, even without resorting to mystical woo-woo.  It's not effortless, as I mentioned before, but it's not always a struggle, either.

Could it be that your approach to life is actually making things harder on you?  Maybe you need to find a different approach?  Whatever you're doing might not be working all that well.
