So two conversations now..... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 09/03/2017 09:39:55 PM

So then if/when you have a friend who is anorexic, and they finally give in and reach for something to eat, do you slap it out of their hand? Do you tell them to not give in, but to pursue their actions so that their body can match their mind?

No. You'd never do that. You'd help your friend get to a healthy place.

This whole conversation pertains to why is this specific topic different. No one has been able articulate why besides the individual wants it real bad, and the effort to help their mind align with reality is less then just giving them what they want.

As for the second topic....of gender vs sexuality vs male vs female and how they are linked, or unlinked, is a whole different conversation.

I have to say I'm very confused about what your question is... and I don't think it's just me. Legolas - 07/03/2017 12:04:27 AM 792 Views
Yes, I'm talking about... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 05:03:18 PM 807 Views

Mind over Matter? Jeordam - 07/03/2017 09:06:53 PM 769 Views
Mind over body might've been more apt. I believe I did answer your question actually. Legolas - 07/03/2017 10:41:01 PM 863 Views
Let's be clear.... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 11:17:02 PM 747 Views
By all means. Legolas - 07/03/2017 11:58:41 PM 780 Views
Well that's the crux of the topic isn't it.... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 05:48:50 PM 696 Views
That takes us right back to body vs mind, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2017 07:13:32 PM 738 Views
Well that would be the difference... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 08:54:59 PM 790 Views
So do tell me what in fact the purpose of our discussion is, then? Legolas - 08/03/2017 09:40:09 PM 728 Views
What can I possibly say? Jeordam - 09/03/2017 05:45:54 PM 739 Views

That's true - doesn't change the issue as such but certainly there's intolerance on that side too. *NM* Legolas - 10/03/2017 07:45:43 AM 386 Views
