As to this being real or not. As soon as being punched in the nose doesn't hurt I'm going to react to the stimulus.
I'm sorry your reality has lost it's feelings, and passion. But I understand it has to do with being to be so elevated..... I should be so lucky. In the meantime since you have already arrived and surpassed me... would you give me your ammo since you won't be needing it.

Did being afraid help you? Wouldnt it be wonderful if we could control our reaction to violence? Being shot at made me feel more alive. Gave me purpose. Being in life and death situations gave me practice at controlling fear I guess. I did not come out of any of these situations with vengeance, just happy to be alive even after extensive life changing injuries. At first I thought as you do that I dont have emotions and that something was dead inside of me. Then I had a moment when I understood it all. It changed my point of view. I now see that I am more alive than ever and I have simply overcome some part of me that caused my emotions to control my behavior.
I am ultimately responsible for everything that happens. You are too. I hope we have the same goal.
I dont wish to elevate myself, merely share my experience. Just because others havent experienced it doesnt make me better, it just gives me a different point of view. Everybody has a different experience. The path is different for all of us. no path is better or worse, just a different adventure.
Peace and may your adventure serve us all.
(Thanks for the dialogue. Most just tell me to shut up)
