We don't need to label us as patmers. As long as you're human you stand the chance of running along the line of patm. Everybody in essence can suddenly become a patmer. That's the brutal reality. Do you guys respond to the reactions. Over the years I've gotten used to the reactions and can brush it off or even ignore it. It's not as hard as it sounds. I think in some sense we have rejected our beings. But that's not all of patm. Patm has manifested in our minds. Someone once compared it to a superpower we have no control over. That superpower is emotions/thoughts/feelings etc. We've lost our selves and need to find back ourselves.
For example our mind can travel far and long whereas our bodies cannot do as such.
