Maybe don’t use Facebook or any other site that does this?
I’ve been told this is an unreasonable solution.
“…the world thrives on its faults and strives, by every possible means, to aggravate them, while at the same time masking them like a congenital deformity. The signs are everywhere, though I could not always read them.”

Pirate “services”?
Being alone is not bad.
And a crowd seems like the loneliest place.
Damn. I missed making a good joke.
To make whoopee.
To make more than one head.

Anus? Or?
It rhymes…
Suicide poops!!!
All letters before A are silent.
Ice water after ANY mint.
They do. Just my preference. =-)

This won’t last forever.
Yes, and? I said I don’t care about belligerence.
What does that have to do with me being here?
Yes. I understand what this person is saying.
I was not saying that this person thought the phenomenon did not exist or was made up.
My point is they are unwanted but won’t go away. That is why they are intrusive.
It is not any big mystery. It is a well known phenomenon. You try not to think of the thoughts, because they cause great pain, and the thoughts happen more.
What is the problem here? What is the great problem in calling them by a name that makes experiential sense? Nothing. There is no problem.
These intrusive thoughts often involve harming people we love. Which is like being tortured for hours daily, and months, and even years for some. We don’t want to think these thoughts, but they keep intruding on us.
Why do we not want to think of these thoughts as “our thoughts”? Because if they are our thoughts (or if they are us) then we are horrific monsters.
But through years of torture many of us have, emerged from the ruins of our life, and learned that we are not monsters. We are just being tortured by the monster of existence.
It isn’t a lack of understanding of belligerence. It’s that I just don’t care about belligerence much anymore.
Edit: Changed the word “it” to “belligerence” for clarity.
We don’t imagine them. They imagine us.
We are the result of them. We are the effluence of thoughts.
You can’t not have them. Because they have you. They are in control.
Or oil and corn and meat and dairy.
