RE: Psychology Addict # 34 | Demons, Possession & Exorcism

in #psychology6 years ago

A post to send chills down your spine 😱

I feel for these people with clear psychological issues which seem to be related to severe experiences in early life.

The demons here have had a long time to manifest and grow, and ' looking at it right in the eyes' must take a lot of strength and support.

Whilst I consider myself not to be free of inner demons, reading about other cases does give me confidence that they can be tackled when their show their heads.

Thanks for another interesting post this Friday Abigail, have yourself an angelic weekend!

Hi my dear :)

Yes, it is so spooky right?! I am SO pleased to hear that you find inspirations to tackle your inner-demons through other people's example. I think this is something very few individuals do, and this is precisely why we see so many people walking through life accompanied by so many demons :/ Let's be inspired by others to inspire others! ❤️

I wish you an angelical weekend (how cute?) for you too @abh12345

Spooky indeed, I am not a fan of horror films and avoid supernatural plots completely!

I think I have attached a stigma to comparing myself to others and I'd times feel this isn't the right thing to do. From your reply though, perhaps I have been looking at it, or at the least the 'wrong' people, to find the inspiration from and that's why I sometimes feel 'guilty' for doing this.

e.g. Comparing to those who are suffering and telling yourself 'well nothing can be that bad', apposed to looking at people who have fought through suffering and learning from their example.

Is the first example the 'wrong' way to look at aspect of life, I wonder?

First things first Asher :)

Not comparing ourselves to others. I am truly against that! Learning from others, from both their failures and successes (just like you said). But, this should not exclude learning from our own failures and successes too! As for comparisons, if you are ever going to compare yourself with someone, that should be you, BUT who you were yesterday! Because if anything I believe in a life were we always strive for an improved version of who we are. Even if that means "oh! I smoked one less cigarette today"; or, "oh! I learnt this lesson from that person's experience" :)

Right, I understand. Learning from others and comparing to yesterday's self - I can work with that.

I shall let you know in 7 days if these 7 days have heeded this advice 😁

Please do 😉 Looking forward to it!
