First Aid page

This article is meant to be of help for readers who find themselves in emotional turmoil through contents of this Wiki. Below, we will present a number of advises for different situations of distress, cognitive dissonance, depression or even suicidal tendencies.

Feeling failure

One of the more frequently occurring problems that readers may encounter is that of being overwhelmed by feelings of failure and structural fear. Some parts of the articles on this Wiki do lead to inescapable conclusions about personal shortcomings in our functioning, that is, for us humans in general.

On the one hand these personal shortcomings are occurring in Homo sapiens so frequently, that they can be considered as a characteristic of our species.

On the other hand the emerging awareness of such shortcomings may come as an unpleasant surprise, demolishing many illusions of personal adequacy and well-functioning. If that happens, the fact that such a personal state is not really different from the average state of Homo sapiens, is often not of much help. The personal feelings of disappointment and failure then tend to rule and to determine the day. The result is feelings of helplessness, sadness, stress and fear, ranging from just a bad mood to suicidal tendencies.
