Has anyone here formed an opinion on their past (or other) self? Is it positive or is it negative? If negative, how do you deal with it?

My personal beliefs on that matter don't precisely line up with that way of thinking, either. Dismissing it as the actions of another person entirely doesn't sit well with me, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't absolve us of anything.

Being rash about it is equally nonsensical, of course. But if you find the general insistence that our past actions have nothing to do with us to not seem sound, you aren't the only one.

[odasaku]

It helps to know that. I'll have to see how I deal with everything else. I still feel like I don't know anything.

There are generally always people on this network that are willing to listen to these things. Complete strangers in a fair amount of cases, but the advice is generally not terrible in my experience.

[odasaku]

That's fine. I prefer that, really.

[manufactured]

Evidently so.

[odasaku]

Yeah.

Thanks for the help.

[manufactured]

Of course.

I don't mind discussing these things myself, should you want to for whatever reason. There are a few that I've done such things for, usually other people who have...difficult memories, let's say, connected to their past life. If it interests you, fine. If not, I'm hardly offended.

[odasaku]

I feel I might have to take you up on your offer. But I'll see how the memories play out.

[manufactured]

That's fine.

Contact me whenever you like, should you decide to. I'm not shocked by much, nor does anything really upset me; my own memories have had more than enough atrocities and abominations in them to guarantee that I won't question much.
