Search Results: is there any hope

💯 hypothetical. I can relate to and empathize with the character going through an impossible task of wrestling their philosophical conscience in an untenable circumstance, but this is by no means autobiographical.

Also bit dark ~ So trigger warning ⛔️

Here is the situation:

This person is taken against their will to confinement in an unfamiliar location. They are forbidden contact with outside works. So no hope of any real aid.

They are by force given medicine for “their own good”. This medication does not help them rather makes them violently ill and gradually begins to destroy Their ability to think. They are convinced if they continue they may be lost forever".

Alternatively, If they refuse they are beaten mercilessly... It is apparent, if continued they will perish.

Both scenarios are dehumanizing and finding no redeeming feature anywhere can only size it up as an outrageous attack on their conscience, to which they are of course, morally apposed.

There is nothing redeeming to “believe” in. No obvious case of weighing one evil against another. Intellectually, Sorting out a slightly better outcome is virtually impossible as well. They don’t believe in lesser of two evils and in any case they are rather on par 🔜

Submitting to a course of treatment that is destructive. Mind body and soul. Or to submit to violent heatings which is equally destructive.

The question they find they are confronted with being that as far as they can see, all options and foreseeable outcomes are undeniably miserable, what is the “righteous” morally upright thing to do?

(Understandably that may not be how you would look at it... This person is seeking dignity and to be at peace with their conscience as they can not seem to be in any other way in this situation)

A) Refuse the meds, fight the beating, and go out as a martyr.

B) Take the meds lose their mind.

C) Other.

I deleted the other post bc there were too many topics collapsed into one post. I prefer to keep things simple bc I don’t think any one subject IS simple. Sticking to one topic gives some leeway to break it down in conversation without it becoming untenable. in my opinion

I do Intend to post questiins// views on the other 5 or do subjects within the dejected post. I want to start with simply what do you all think. I’m not going to add details bc I want basic views without being disrupted by my opinion and or answering my particular view point.

Thanks guys! I hope those who answers the last post will answer again. I’m sorry to deserve your opinions I am never comfortable with any post I put out first thing in the morning or Late at night lol normally I’m in the middle of a reaction like wish wtf 😳 .. that never works out well. 🤓

So yeah just want to know your thoughts. 😊😊
