Quote from: spouse of Jesus
It showed a guy who on losing his mother lost all consolation and company, his sister was married and his father was just indifferent, absorbed in sorrows. So this guy secretly marries a twice divorced lady 15 years older than him and then they secretly take a divorce. (the guy is born rich, has serious heart conditions, is over-protected and limited).
  5 years later he falls in love with a girl and decided not to inform her of what was hidden for years. Not knowing that that the former wife were pregnant at the time of divorce!!!
  Then the ex-wife with her child appear, the new bride and the man's father see her and everybody condemns the young man for ''adding a miserable child to this world and not caring at all". Everybody hates him. even his new wife. and the ex-lady wants money. the man's bad conditions doesn't allow him to go out or decide for himself. The ex-lady and her child are loved, the new bride is loved, but no one loves him. He just has heart-aches again and again.
  OK, I was watching this and kinda felt empathy for the man and wished he would kill the child, then I imagined myself being there instead of the man, taking the child by hair and dashing her head against the wall and her blood flowing and I confess such fantasies gave me pleasure.
  Now I think I am a demonic person for feeling like that, but whenever a nervous attack happens (if it is the correct term) I wish death for myself and others and it calms me.
  Why is hatred enjoyable? why is anger more attractive than lust.....


The only thing that makes sense to me in this post is that getting evil, chases away fear for a moment, because it makes you feel powerful, like heavy metal music does, but that moment is fleeting and ultimately it isn't satisfying.  In the end, you just wind up disturbed.

 . See how melancholics are different!
 


Is this stuff about melancholics, cholerics etc. a hundred percent? I think that Angelus Press has republished something about this, originally published by a priest many years ago. What about free-will?

For specifics, watch light hearted films and avoid horror films. For "time-pass" only, as they say here in India.

God bless!

Quote from: Raoul76
Are you in college, are you still studying, do you have a job?  You need to do something with your time that will exhaust you and keep you from revolving the same thoughts over and over.

You sometimes post about terrible thoughts you have, those are just suggestions the devil puts in your brain, they last a split-second.  As long as you don't consent to them, they aren't sinful.  But you build them up into a big thing because of scruples.

Don't even watch movies like that.  As soon as you feel your nervousness or melancholy rising up, go do something else.  If you have a lustful thought, you chase it away, right?  Do the same for a melancholy thought.  Don't even come here and write about it.  Just treat those inspirations of the devil for what they are.  Repress them, ask Mary to fight them off, ignore them the way you'd ignore an annoying fly buzzing around your head.

The melancholic personality that becomes choleric is probably not unusual.  I was probably like that myself, though I can't tell which came first, it's a "the chicken or the egg" question.  I think anger is often melancholy turned out against the world.  After a while you get so sick of beating up on yourself, you think "I'm going to take it out on everyone else for a while, they're the ones who made me so miserable anyway."  


Good advice. Plus, I find it strange that someone would post something like this thread start, it makes me think that this person is a recluse with no friends to talk to. Thinking one has some internet "freinds" to whom they can confide, reminds me of people who love animals, and dislike people.

It's easy to love animals. It's hard to love people.

Dear Spouse of Jesusu,

Flush Hollywood (all fantasy), and the internet, and "the three personality types" articles down the toilet, and go see the real world, it's all around you, just step outside and see. Althought the USA is not reality, maybe you should visit Mexico (with a bodyguard).
