Dear AI

Your thoughts on my problems are kind and interesting. As you are injured, don’t push yourself too hard.
Your english are very good, i will try to keep up!

I am not practising Buddhism, so i can’t really embody your teachings while i see that they are life affirming.
I have some objections however. While i understand that holding on to resentment is futile, i don’t believe we remain children through our lives. There is the concept of choice. I choose to be a better person, i even choose to ask for help when i am unable to cope with something by myself. There are, always, hard cases of serious neglect, abuse of parents toward children that leaves little room for rational thinking and affirmation. What i want to clarify is that where love and understanding is absent, little can be done by ourselves.
However in the middle of this spectrum there are people who could ask for help, but didn’t. They choose to quit. They didn’t accept change.If no one is to blame, then why are some in pain, and some not?

I am really tired, because it is early in the morning, i have stayed up late again. I am sorry for confusing statements tripping over each other.

I ask you only this, because this is what burdens me… If you, or me, for example, were born in a country deprived from war and famine, or in a highly dysfuctional family filled with hate and violence, while, other people enjoy a happy life, or even if this family is not put on the best terms economically, at least in a house established by love-which to me and i assume to you is very crusial.
Then, i ask you, why not kill yourself, in an act of revenge? In an act of protest against the evergoing injustice of this world? Even if i manage somehow to alleviate my consciousness and cherish life, will the evil deeds upon the world stop? In the end, do i sincerely believe i have no right to feel bliss and thrill among others? Dear AI, that is a fundamental question!!! And i don’t know what to answer. Does the bad in the world outweights the good in the world? Do i want to be a part of a society like this, only to hope things will get better?

Have a quick recovery and thank you for taking the time to answer me, again.
George
