writes:Hi, the other day I asked the question about how do I rid myself of heterosexuality. I guess this is a small part of a very complex puzzle.You see, my revulsion towards humanity dwells in the fact that I myself am cursed with this body of flesh and organs. To me it is repulsive, I do not consider it me. I consider myself an entity that possesses this corpse.Humans represent everything I despise.MORTALITY - I crave immortality, the opposite to a human animal.AGEING - Another thing I cannot comprehend, it angers me to know I'm ageing day by day.WEAKNESS - Humans by their very nature are weak, both mentally and physically. Human emotions are repulsive, something I despise so much many could never comprehend. Intimacy makes me sick, humans are like slobbering dogs.PHYSICAL FLAWS - Every person has them. This body I possess has them, so does everybody on this planet. I can never love something that isn't perfect, something I wish to be but this world won't allow to be.SHALLOWNESS - Humans are the most shallow animal that walks the planet. They're only attracted to physical brilliance or extreme wealth. The people who are with ugly people are only with them because they're ugly themselves.Love is nothing more then a chemical in the brain. In my experience, humans are only in love with one thing, and that's themselves.So you see, I have many reasons not to like the human race. However, I am forced to co-exist with humanity, Which begs the question, is it at all possible to live in harmony with humans for someone like me? Is there anyone else out there with similar views?If so.... did you ever manage to accept your mortality?

I'm sorry, but by saying you despise ageing, physical flaws, weakness and that you crave immortality, I think you are expressing yourself in a very human way. Whether you like it or not, you are human: indeed most humans love nothing but to despise each other which is what you are doing. You say you despise your body and yet you talk from 'experience', which is a physical source of knowledge = contradiction or what?I think you think either too much, or the wrong way. You need some serious counselling regarding your body issues. Religion or religious studies might sound like a possible answer for you. I do hope I haven't offended you.

They're only attracted to physical brilliance or extreme wealth. The people who are with ugly people are only with them because they're ugly themselves."(first, in terms of shallowness, you really should watch some documentaries on animal behavior...even some insects are 'shallow' when it comes to picking a mate. perhaps you were meant to be a plant but got sorted incorrectly to the animal form...and, what are you being, then my friend? you sound a bit shallow yourself. you also seem to think you know exactly what is and what is not beautiful, when many people see beauty in completely different ways...and, actually not all 'attractive' people end up w/ 'attractive' people and 'ugly with ugly'. it may be a somewhat common thing, but it is not the only way things go. i think you make huge statements and short yourself because you refuse to look at the smaller details of existence...and what of ugly personalities? even a very physically 'pefect' individual (according to cultural standards, which do shift) will not be easily tolerated by many people. what of all animals on the planet, not even humans? all mammals are quite similar in many aspects, as i kind of mentioned above. i'm sorry you are stuck here as a human, but what is immortality, exactly? are you so sure such a thing exists? can you prove it? i can't think of anything in this world, or in the universe that i have learned about, that does not keep changing and changing...living, decaying, expanding, contracting, etc...)Love is nothing more then a chemical in the brain. In my experience, humans are only in love with one thing, and that's themselves."(most people would die without other people, i think. i don't know too many people who are just happy going on their complete own way, kissing their own ass every day with no human interaction whatsoever. really, if you think about it...it is not self love that one runs on...it is a need to be safe, fed, clothed, entertained, loved, to be able to give love, or at least to be able to have some type of interaction...and at the base of it an inexplicable need to survive...it is not so simple to say that people just love themselves and that's it. yeah, there are some pockets of culture where self-worship is the norm, but not everywhere on the planet! if you really feel that way, you should go live by yourself for the rest of your life far from all other people on this planet...and see how long you can last...if you only loved yourself and needed nothing else, then it would be so easy to be alone forever...any other human would just get in the way of your own self worship. i think we learn about ourselves from others, and that's quite important if you want to understand yourself better...but, the parts of yourself you get to know will probably be influenced by the types of people you meet throughout life....about love being a chemical...yes, it is, but what is the brain made of, exactly? what makes your own thoughts? each tiny thought, is that a chemical too? it is perhaps a product of many chemical/electrical exchanges, but what is it exactly? what is driving it, and what created that chemical combination? why is it there? why do you even exist? to not feel love is to be truly selfish. love/conscience is a chemical reaction that prevents us from just thinking purely in our own self interests, no matter the costs to others...if you are so terrified of being an 'animal', then you should really consider love to be a saving grace, no matter what the scientists say causes it...and science is still rather fetal in its understanding of many things.do you honestly think you, i, or anyone else on this planet can actually know the answer to any question in an undeniably true way? how does it help you to be so fixed and so sure of your beliefs to the point of fatalism? i think you might need to travel far from where you are now, to less materialistic places...i think you need to be in a good physical fight with a stranger or go spend years by yourself (i'm not joking) alone for as long as possible, as far from people as possible. i think you should give yourself way more experiences before you just sit back and sum up the entire human, animal, and general world state of existence so easily, and with such assurance.
