dude im so annoyed with myself rn its literally 3am and im doomscrolling again after i swore id stop. always doing this dumb shit. i was watching this random video earlier about some old rat experiment where they gave them drugs or something. basically if a rat is locked up alone it just gets high all day but if its hanging out with other rats it doesnt even care. honestly it just made me realize im basically the cage rat just staring at a screen to numb out. people are always yelling about discipline and willpower but like how are you supposed to just use willpower when your brain is literally just trying to escape reality. idk sitting alone in the dark with my thoughts is just terrible. that whole video just sent me down a weird rabbit hole and now i cant sleep

واش عمركم رديتو البال بلي حياتنا كاملة وحنا كنجريو مورا واحد السعادة اللي ماعمرها غتوصل؟ كنفيقو فالصباح بواحد الخوا لداخل، وكنمشيو ننعسو وداك الخوا مازال مخشي معانا فالفراش.

المشكل فهادشي كامل هو أننا كل ما بززنا على راسنا ديك التبسيمة ديال الميكة، وكل ما بقينا كنعاودو دوك المقولات الإيجابية اللي كنقراو فالأنترنيت، كل ما كنزيدو نغرقو. تعلمنا من صغرنا نهربو من المعاناة بأي طريقة، ونبنجو القلق ديالنا بالتفاهة.

ولينا عايشين فواحد الوقت كيتفرض علينا فيه نكونو ديما فرحانين. السوشيال ميديا ولات بحال شي فيترينا، كلشي عندو روتين واعر، كلشي ناجح، وكلشي بوزيتيف. ويلا كنتي مقلق، حزين، ولا عيان، كيوليو يحسسوك بلي راك فاشل وبلي كاين شي ديفو فالدماغ ديالك. هادي راها ولات ديكتاتورية ديال السعادة!

ولكن الحقيقة، وكيفما كان كيقول الكاتب دوستويفسكي، الهوس ديالنا باش نكونو ديما فرحانين ما هو إلا مرض لابس اللباس ديال الدوا. الألم والمعاناة ماشي عقوبة وماشي شي حاجة خصنا نهربو منها. الألم هو الأداة الضرورية باش تبدل حياتك، هو اللي كيفيقك وكيفضح الكذوب اللي كتعاود لراسك باش تبان سعيد.

شحال غنبقاو عايشين بهاد الزواق؟ كنربحو اللايكات والتصفيقات من عند الناس على هاد المسرحية، ولكن لداخل كنخلصو الثمن غالي حيت كنبعدو على الحقيقة ديالنا. منين كتهرب من الحزن والغضب والوحدة، كتعيش واحد الحياة سطحية، معقمة، ومافيهاش روح.

الحل ماشي هو نقلبو كيفاش نكونو ديما فرحانين، الحل هو كيفاش نعيشو صادقين مع راسنا. نهار غنحبسو التمثيل، نطيحو الماسكات، ونواجهو داك الألم ونتقبلوه كجزء من حياتنا... تما فين غنحسو بالسلام الداخلي ديال بصح، وتما فين غنربحو الحرية ديالنا

هاد الصباح كنت نتفرج فواحد الفيديو وجبد واحد الفكرة بغيت نشاركها معاكم.

الفيديو كيهضر على الخوف من المستقبل وكيفاش بنادم كيحرم راسو دروك باش يلم الدراهم تال لـ 65 عام، عاد باغي يعيش ويتسارى! بصح شكون لي ضامن يعيش تال داك العمر؟ وحتى يلا وصلتي ليه، يقدر ما تبقاش فيك ديك الطاقة، ولا ظهرك يولي يوجعك وما تقدرش كاع تمشى.

الخلاصة لي جات فالفيديو: عيش دروك! تمتع بفلوسك ودير داكشي لي تبغي مادامك شباب، وما ديرش شي حاجة بالسيف غير حيت الناس يديروها، دير غير لي يعجبك وترتاح ليه نتا

I've been on Reddit for years, and I spend most of my time in Western subs because people actually discuss cool ideas and interesting topics. But whenever I check out Moroccan or Arab communities, it's literally just people looking for a girlfriend, talking about dating, or begging for friends.

It’s honestly so weird. The quality of discussions is just dropping, and this trend is only getting worse over time. Am I the only one who finds this annoying?

honestly, i never really cared about how religions treat women. as a guy, it just didn't affect me so i didn't care. but lately i was thinking... one day i might have a daughter or a wife, and imagining them living under these oppressive systems actually makes me sick.

i did some reading on the origins of the hijab in islam, and it's wild. it wasn't even the prophet's original idea. his wives used to go out at night to an open field to relieve themselves. umar ibn al-khattab kept pressuring the prophet to veil his wives, but he didn't listen. one night, his wife sawdah went out, and umar literally called out to her in the dark saying "we recognize you, sawdah!" just to prove a point. she complained to the prophet, and suddenly, the verse of hijab drops (Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 59). the whole point was just to distinguish "free women" from slaves so the free ones wouldn't get harassed.

then there's the child marriage. muhammad marrying aisha when she was 6 and consummating at 9. when i was a muslim i tried to make excuses for this, but if you do the research, it's undeniable. child marriage was so normalized that companions could marry literal infants.

and it gets worse with war captives. after raiding tribes, some companions actually felt guilty about having sex with captured female slaves (especially because some of these women still had living husbands). but the prophet basically gave them the green light, saying women that your "right hand possesses" are totally lawful to sleep with.

does this honestly sound like the absolute morality of a prophet sent by a perfect, timeless God? or just a 7th-century man doing 7th-century warlord things? thoughts?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I have a theory about the "Creator". I believe that while a Creator might exist, he basically created us and then completely abandoned us. He left us to our own devices and simply doesn't care about what happens down here.

Because of this, I've come to the conclusion that all organized religions are purely human-made constructs. They weren't sent from above; they were designed for mass control, political agendas, and the personal gain of those in power.

Let’s look at a couple of major examples:

Islam:

After the Prophet died, the companions basically compiled the Quran and religious texts to fit their own narratives and political climates. The Quran didn't just drop from the sky as a complete book; it was compiled twice—first under Uthman, and then subjected to more standardization during the Umayyad Caliphate. If it’s the absolute, uncorrupted word of God, why was it subjected to so much human editing, political influence, and differing versions early on?

Christianity:

It’s the same story here. There is absolutely zero solid, historical proof regarding who actually wrote the Gospels. They obviously weren't written by Jesus, and most historians agree they weren't even written by his direct followers. They were written by anonymous authors decades later. People claim it was Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but I highly doubt that. If you actually do the research, the Gospels were written around the end of the 1st century (around 100 AD).

Here is the controversial part:

If an all-knowing, all-powerful God really wanted to send a timeless, universal message to guide humanity, why would he rely on a decades-long game of telephone? Why rely on ancient, easily manipulated texts that have been heavily edited by politicians and empires for centuries?

Doesn't it make way more sense that we are just an abandoned science experiment, and opportunistic humans simply used the fear of "God" to build empires and control the masses?

I really want to hear other perspectives on this. What do you guys think? Am I missing something here?

I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of a creator lately. Let’s assume for a second that a god or a creator actually exists—but honestly, why would we owe them worship?

If they created us and just left us here to suffer, struggle, and die, it doesn’t feel like a relationship built on love or guidance; it feels like an experiment or abandonment. To me, worship implies respect, gratitude, and a two-way connection. If the creator is indifferent to our pain, then why do they deserve our devotion? It feels like we are forced to bow down to something that hasn't proven it cares about us at all.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Is worship something we should give, or is it just something we’ve been told to do?

Sometimes, when I think about a creator, I'm torn between two ideas.

The first one—which I still kinda hold on to—is that a creator did make us, but then just dropped us on Earth and doesn't really care about us anymore. Because people are so scared of what happens after death, they started making up and spreading religions to push their own agendas. They completely used religion to exploit people for their own personal gain.

The second idea is that there is no god at all. How? It's just genetic evolution. This thought hit me when I was reading about Homo sapiens. I thought to myself, maybe we'll just keep evolving over time and turn into something else.

Anyway, these are just some of my surface-level thoughts. What do you guys think?

Salam lkhout! I was just thinking bli I've actually met up with 11 of you guys from Reddit f lwa9i3, kol wahed bohdo. Just wanted to drop this post w ngol likom it's been awesome.
