Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
I'm into bodybuilding so i take it for muscle gain, but I like the mental effects of it as well. it seems to alleviate my dysthymia to some extent.

Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
i realize what i did was wrong, and will not donate again. perhaps i can find other ways to help sentient beings
Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
What has been done, is in the past. No benefit of crying over spilled milk.
Just forget it and try to not do it in the future.

Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
It sounds like some of the ways you are trying to "help" others are causing harm at this time. The best way you can do that is by holding the precepts, inclusive of abstaining from lying.bpallister wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:01 am i realize what i did was wrong, and will not donate again. perhaps i can find other ways to help sentient beings

There is only one battle that could be won, and that is the battle against the 3 poisons. Any other battle is a guaranteed loss because you're going to die either way.

Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
If the question is there, then it's important for the person receiving the blood. It cannot be up to you to make the decision to circumvent that question. If you want to fix the issue, let the people who collected your blood know about it.bpallister wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 11:36 pm here's the thing tho. If i had told the truth (i lied on one question) i would have not been able to donate. so i want to donate to thin out my blood a little and to help other beings, but i cannot because i have been injecting some vitamin T and peptides--if i tell the truth.

Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
I’ve already informed them and don’t plan to lie again

This reminds me of going to Catholic Confession as a child.

Re: I lied on my blood donation form today
bpallister You did the right thing by informing them honestly. You can help others in many ways apart from donating blood.
