Feeling forced
September 15, 2021 at 5:27 am
What's something you do, or have done, and you felt forced into doing it? It doesn't have to be something you were literally forced into doing, just something you feel is forced, like you really don't want to do it, but you do it anyway, for whatever reason.
Mine would be feeding my dachshund and changing her water. It only takes a second, but something about it just feels so tedious, and I have to bend down, and I hate bending down.

As an administrator on this Forum, I feel forced to read as many posts as possible to ensure that the rules are being followed, and I hate bending down.

I'm forced to cater to an obscene capitalist society by being a part of the work force.

Smelling other people's cigarette smoke. Like if I'm passing by someone who smokes and it sometimes smells like gastric acid, so I'm smelling their vomit.
It's like Steve Martin once said: "'Do you mind if I smoke?' Do you mind if I fart?"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

All this tells me is that you probably shouldn't own a pet.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

It's a habit of mine. I tried quitting - but I gained a lot of weight.... S.M.

This really needed a thread? Could easily have gone into 'Random Thoughts'.
