A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

You have a right to be very respectful to others, and your emotions can't take away that right (lemmy.ca)

More precisely, you end up feeling more like a victim of the negative emotions that tempt you

Are you framing emotions as an adversary to what you're trying to do/be?

[–] dullbananas@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yes if they tempt you to be imperfect

I'd argue one could not be perfect without emotion
