Comment on Is there a difference between "comfortable space" and a "safespace"?
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoHelpful advice for me, to be fair. I don’t know if we can truly be in control of our minds but you do lay out the correct hierarchy of importance

being in charge of your mind is entirely your choice.
pretending that it can’t be, is an excuse to just not take responsibility for it.

Even being completely in control of your body is not a choice for most people. First, the disabled, then more generally, anyone who is not well-educated on physiology and fitness.
Every week I learn one new thing about fitness or one new exercise or stretch and i only get slightly more in control of my body as a result. I’m sure some people are totally in tune with their body but I doubt that it’s achievable even for every able-bodied person.
Ergo, I believe we 100% have a separation of Soul, Mind and Body. Since your soul is not your mind, you do not have full unity with or control over your mind. It would probably be harmful to have full unity with it, in fact, and be boring to have full control over it

cool, i don’t believe that at all. sounds like a convenient fiction to me.

This comes across as trolling. Positivity for disabilities is one thing but disabled people, about 100% of the time, would rather not be disabled. And I mentioned them because it counters your idea that anyone can be in control of their body or mind, and that not being in control of those things is a choice. Nobody is in full control of their mind.
