To pity is not to look down upon. How did you even end up in this thread like that?
Surrender to sound judgment.
Or were you just spamming?
Let me guess, delusions of being God?
In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon discusses ten vanities—ten things that are “meaningless” when considered from the limited point of view of “under the sun.” Without God, human wisdom is meaningless (2:14–16); labor (2:18–23); amassing things (2:26); life itself (3:18–22); competition (4:4); selfish overwork (4:7–8); power and authority (4:16); greed (5:10); wealth and accolades (6:1–2); and perfunctory religion (8:10–14).
When Solomon says, “Everything is meaningless,” he did not mean that everything in the world is of zero value. Rather, his point is that all human efforts apart from God’s will are meaningless. Solomon had it all, and he had tried everything, but when he left God out of the equation, nothing satisfied him. There is purpose in life, and it is found in knowing God and keeping His commands. That’s why Solomon ends his book this way:
“Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
If you slow down relax, stop thinking about human and physical ways to explain God, then you may get a start on the actual real path
Imagine you go to the pool and just let yourself go into the water, float away while looking at the sky, stop thinking so much about why or how and just float away........

Opening your mind to every spirit who may enter it only leads downhill and to self deceit. This is exactly what Satan and his minions want you to do.

Satan is real, which is why the Bible warns us about him and the angels who have chosen to leave God and follow him instead. The Bible even goes as far as to tell us that one third of God's angels will choose to leave their natural habitat to follow him (Satan). Angels were given free will just like us.
Ephesians 6:12
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Start with realizing not everything is about you.
Stop reading and interpreting things on your own

It was full of judgement, disgust, and ignorance.
You can do better than that.

So I was neither good nor bad? Think about it.
