what do you think of this statement?

Question

"the things you tell yourself, will kill you in time"

Answer 1

Nah - the closest this comes to anything true is that your delusions, which could be "things you tell yourself" will eventually come into conflict with your relationships which will force a choice between abandonning some delusions or further isolating yourself to preserve them. That is destructive to the soul, so ... by a reach you could say that "things you tell yourself will kill you". Sometimes people choose people over delusion but usually not.

Answer 2

I think it is bull. The nature of everything that one tells oneself is completely dependent upon one’s experiences, personality, disposition, and honesty. Although, the only way one can become suicidal is to believe, or tell oneself, that it is an acceptable means to escape. Death is the only guarantee in life, everything else is completely up to you. Regardless of what you believe you will die in time. Grim but true. So in a way the statement “the things you tell yourself, will kill you in time” is true, only because to tell things takes time and we all die sometime. I believe the things you tell yourself define who you are. So, if you want to tell yourself that the things you tell yourself are going to kill you, then they are going to and by that I mean you are going to.

Answer 3

Like when your not ok and everything is going wrong..You sit there and tell yourself "It's going to be ok" your lying to yourself...and if you do that enough, you start to believe it..and in the end..your setting yourself up for more pain and sorrow..

Answer 4

The Bible states in Proverbs, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." It sounds as if you are potentially self destructive. Remember this, and remember it well, God views you with infinite worth and potential. However, evolution, you are just dirt under a finger nail. Man is an accident. Creationism, man is something special, don't destroy yourself with all this negative self relegating thinking. Read Psalm 8.

Answer 5

The things you tell yourself, during times like states of confusion and distress, will be what that sows the seeds of your downfall.

Answer 6

Ask lunatic said.. you lie to yourself to get yourself thru the day. but you should not ignore all the things you feel that are true even if they hurt.

Answer 7

The corollary should be,

"and the things you try to tell yourself, but ignore will kill you even faster."

Answer 8

It doesn't matte what you tell yourself. Time kills us all in time, not the things you tell yourself.

Answer 9

The implicit presumption is "As a man speaks, so he is." This is similar to "As a woman thinks in her heart, so she is."

Words at best are cups of Light. They in-form one's consciousness, attitude, to some extent.

We all pass on from the screen of life. Hence, whatever one inputs, will correlate with that passing.

One chooses Life by becoming that which Is, that which persists across energy octaves.

Hence, giving oneself a positive diet of things one in-tells ("intelling" or intelligence), will tend to increase that soul coherency which persists.

"Men in White Apparel" and "Watch Your Dreams," both by Ann Ree Colton, provide an excellent study as to this process, as are "Climb the Highest Mountain" and "The Science of the Spoken Word," both by Mark Prophet, and "Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov.

Each day is under-standable as a life or mini-life, with waking = birth, freshness, hope of dawn's early light, and by the end of the work day, retirement, and what dreams may come as purgatorial/heavenly.

By devoting a portion of each day to some higher things one tells oneself, one builds a better life.

"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, is good, as is http://www.coasttocoastam.com radio's occasional guests who speak to this.

By understanding that one gains by upgrading one's character traits, e.g. from selfishness to love of God, one is able to move to better states of being.

I guess if you have a bad opinion of yourself, you're only hurting yourself so it sort of 'kills' you.
