How do you deal with all the gaslighting, guilt-tripping asshats who insist on blaming the one who's asking spiritual questions for whatever they're asking about?
E.g.,
"Why is life so cruel and full of suffering?"
>"Bro it's giving entitlement, life is what you make it there's no suffering happening except within you."
"Why do living beings have to consume each other to survive in this world?"
>"Bro you did that. You eat meat and perpetuate it."
"I've had such bad luck in life, I'm nearly blind, multiple genetic disorders, orphan, cancer, unable to have kids, and ugly af"
>"Dude you're just projecting that negativity and causing those problems in your life yourself."
Am I actually spiritually responsible for all the bad in the world?
Is everything truly my fault to such an extreme degree as the meme implies?
Did I really choose this miserable excuse of a body and this miserable life full of challenges with no clear right or answer answer to them? With bad people being rewarded and the best people being punished?
The problem with this assertion is that it results in a perpetual state of guilt, shame and regret. It's a guilt-tripping masterpiece. Nothing good comes from believing that everything you perceive is actually arising due to your own awful nature which you don't even remember.
