is there anyone good with history and psychology?in desperate need of your help!?
it may sound a little eccentric to you.but i really want someone help me stop thinking about those terrible things which keeps haunting me.My mood,my mentality,my psychological condition,everything has been terribly affected.
It seems ridiculous,i’m from china,i just can’t get myself out of the swamp of chinese shameful history.
when i read some information on what happened in china during WW2,i began falling downwards to hell.
i can’t tolerate what has happened in china during that period,i can’t accept it.
When i saw information on nanjing massacre,on comfort women.i thought it was tooooo shameful to accept.why all those happened in china?
why chinese people were so coward and incompetent during that period to let all those terrible things happen.
why those things never happened in other parts of the world?
why it’s so unfair to china.
it makes me feel extremely disappointed with china,with chinese people.don’t tell me to emigrate,it won’t solve the problem.
the problem is i keep thinking of those things everyday,chinese got slaughtered,chinese women got raped,chinese men couldn’t protect them.so shameful,so unacceptable.
i don’t mean to censure the country which invaded china.i just can’t accept the fact chinese people didn’t have ability to stop those from happening at that time.
sometimes,i want to kill myself,when i think of those things,world looks quite grim to me,the only colour is grey.when i saw chinese people enjoing their life now,singing happily,when i saw a chinese girl smiling at her boy friennd satisfactorily.
this thought would come to my mind,do they know their ancestors were killed and raped like animals?do they know their male ancestors got killed,female ancestor got forced to serve as sex slaves to comfort the man who killed her husband.
how to get rif of those thoughts?how to relieve it?i don’t want to drown in this swamp anymore!
thiank you!!!

A wise man once said “Ignorance is Bliss”
Knowledge is a dangerous thing… I’ve spent a lot of time looking at general human history, and the same has happened to me… After looking at all the atrocities committed by people and their inability to see them coming, or to avoid them, or to stop them, I have fallen into a continuous state of depression… I have come to believe that history is nothing more than a continuous repetition of the same mistakes, differing only in details, such as when, where and how…
You ask why did those things happen in China… another wise man, Thomas Jefferson, once said that “all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” Unfortunately, people are extremely lazy when it comes to changing their way of life… They will suffer horribly, for long periods of time, before they decide that it must stop. And today, it’s even worse, because we’ve grown accustomed to the comfort that technology provides us, and we’d sooner give up our rights than our comfort, and so we willingly let others make choices for us that somewhere in our conscience we don’t completely agree with. Then, in the long run, when all these choices add up, we’re faced with a world full of problems that everyone is to blame and nobody is willing to change…
There’s no way to react to the reality of humanity than to be depressed, so if you really want to be happy, I advise you hide behind the average ignorance, for facing the truth of our existence can bring nothing but sorrow…
