A few years back I stopped for an infant (that's right baby in nappies) crawling across the middle of the road. I got out, picked him up and the person behind me starting yelling at me for stopping and holding up traffic. This is not a joke... I was just totally stunned. I took the child to the nearest house and it was the right one. The parents basically scooped it up from me and went back inside without even a thanks... I swear some days, you just wonder if the people around you are even humans...

[@curiosityguru9037]

I hear you. I am 5 foot 3. I just helped a woman push her stalled SUV out of the intersection over to the side of the road, in the middle of a pandemic. She didn’t even say thank you. I’m like do you know how hard it is for somebody who is small to push an SUV? I’m staring directly into the face of a man sitting on a park bench who didn’t lift a finger to help. I thought to myself what is wrong with this world? I am female and I’m left to push a car while here is a man sitting there watching me. But a different man quickly ran across the intersection and jumped in to help. So even though there are countless idiots in this world, there are also countless wonderful people. You know you did the right thing. You helped save this baby’s life. You made the world a better place. Might not have mattered to irresponsible parents, but it mattered to that child. 🙌🏽

I did something similar at about 3 years old. My mom had an iron hand & watched us like a hawk, but it only takes a second. Mom was cooking breakfast one morning & offhandedly said that dad wanted eggs but we were out of them. Being a daddy’s girl, I was going to make sure he had what he wanted, so I went out the back door (we weren’t allowed to play in the front yard) & through the gate. I walked down our street & across lanes of traffic to the Piggly Wiggly whereupon I told an employee that my daddy needed some eggs. The manager became involved, recognized me & called my parents (long ago, in simpler times, when businesses knew their customers.) By this time, my parents were in full blown panic & my dad was about to go look for me. I’m sure I got scolded, but it don’t remember it. I also don’t remember the walk or crossing the street.

My mom was also a great mother, but one day I got the fantastic idea when I was 3 to go visit my mom's friend who lived across a huge field and through the wooded back area. She was busy making me and my brother supper. I walked myself all the way there and let myself in, and thought nothing of it. My mom was already out looking for me, having to stop making supper while wrangling another 4 year-old as a single mom.

My dad said no. They were only going to make a fast trip but I really wanted to go. My mom went into her room and my other siblings were probably playing in theirs so I watched my dad and sis leave through the sliding doors and through my tears I decided that I would follow them. I got on my tricycle and waited till they were far enough to not see me and peddled as fast as my trike would take me. They went about 3 blocks without noticing and cars drove by. And I kinda remember big trucks and going through a traffic light. And calling out to them. After about 30 minutes which seemed much longer they spotted me (I think some cars were honking and pointing at me) and they turned around shocked and scared that I was following them. They took me back home scolding me the whole way and needless to say my mom gave me a much deserved spanking and I never did that again!! So yeah it happens. 😰 lol so glad nothing bad happened.

*Drug addictions, and thought addictions are closely related on a neurological level.* Some people are more beholden to the ancient part of the brain (Meso Limbic System/emotional) rather than someone that reasons using the modern part (Frontal Cortex/rational). Imagine the euphoria experienced by the average person for believing they won a million dollars on a scratch off ticket (it could be a joke ticket yet as long as they believe). Now imagine someone having the same sensations, but being convinced it's a paranormal contact for believing John 3:16. We evolved to seek pleasure (eating/reproduction), and avoid getting killed (tiger in the grass/competing neighbor/harsh enviroment). With our increased cognitive abilities we made up other reasons for pleasure, and survival beyond basic necessity. The Dopamine Reward System over time bridges gaps in pathways in order to form habits in order to repeat behaviors, and or thoughts. The often cited testimony of getting off an addiction thanks to a God is just a placebo replacement due to the power of the mind (an AA participant I heard of chose to worship the radiator in his room instead of an higher power, and became sober). "The second system, known as the mesolimbic system, has its cell bodies in the ventral tegmental area, which is medial to the substantia nigra. It projects to several parts of the limbic system, including the nucleus accumbens and ventral portions of the striatum, amygdala, and hippocampus, as well as prefrontal cortex. *This system has been linked to reward-related behavior (Berridge and Kringelbach, 2015). Dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens increase in response to both natural reinforcers (such as food, drink, and sex) and drugs of abuse (such as amphetamine and cocaine). Additionally, in humans, activity in this region increases in response to more abstract rewards, such as money."* Marie T. Banich/Rebecca J. Compton, Cognitive Neuroscience, Section: Subsystems, pp. 2/3 *"Dopamine, in fact, is critical in association learning and the reward system of the brain that Skinner discovered through his process of operant conditioning, whereby any behavior that is reinforced tends to be repeated. A reinforcement is, by definition, something that is rewarding to the organism; that is to say, it makes the brain direct the body to repeat the behavior in order to get another positive reward.* ...The connection between dopamine and belief was established by experiments conducted by Peter Brugger and his colleague Christine Mohr at the University of Bristol in England. *Exploring the neurochemistry of superstition, magical thinking, and belief in the paranormal, Brugger and Mohr found that people with high levels of dopamine are more likely to find significance in coincidences and pick out meaning and patterns where there are none."* Michael Shermer, The Believing Brain, Section: 6 The Believing Neuron pp. 8-10/29 *"Genetic and behavioral factors influencing religiously motivated behavior appear related to dopamine metabolism and signaling. Inclination toward religious behavior and motivation has been associated with a polymorphism on the dopamine receptor gene DRD4 (Comings, Gonzales, Saucier, Johnson, & MacMurray, 2000;Sasaki et al., 2013).

Antipsychotic medications, which block central dopamine activity, alleviate the hallucinations of psychosis. Drugs with strong dopaminergic effect, such as L-dopa, methylphenidate, bromocriptine, pramipexole and piribedil, may induce hallucinations. D-amphetamine, a direct dopamine agonist, may also induce psychosis and hallucinations."* www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2996210/ *"Here, we show that administration of a drug that enhances dopaminergic function (dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine; L-DOPA) increases an optimism bias.

Note: These (Tulpas) are not sentient beings, but a manifestation of the subconscious mind through neural plasticity via neurochemical imbalancing inducing meditation. In other words it's having a dream state while awake, and interacting with a character that's made up of one's own preformed thoughts (building blocks of ideas/concepts that are below conscious awareness) which gives the illusion of sentience. In simpler words it's self induced schizophrenia due to stresses (psychological/physical/environmental) where neurochemical traffic gets rerouted causing hallucinations to any of the five senses, also including involuntary movement, and distorted speech (glossolalia). www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_ca/article/exmqzz/tulpamancy-internet-subculture-892 Ancient people did not know the neurosciences.

(Prov. 1:7) "In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." "but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed." (2 Cor. 4:4, 3:16) "As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom." (Quran 2.006-.007) "Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is no one who does good."

Tell me how it's any different. If you get distracted and you let your child go do that I think you need to go to jail at least for the night.
