Oh? Um. Okay. You’re that upset over it..? Ik it sucks but I’m sure she’ll be fine. She could block them unless the harassment is irl then that’s probably a bit more difficult to deal with, people are cruel though. I wish that would change, I wish people would be kinder to one another and cheer on someone’s success rather than trying to drag them down and make them feel like shit just because they’re apart of something you don’t like and don’t understand.

It’s kinda like how people will vilify someone else for just having different political view points than they do, personally I don’t agree with a man laying with a man, or a woman laying with a woman, but I don’t hate them for it, and it’s not really a religious thing, it’s just the fact that penis is made for vagina, I don’t really look down upon gay people, they’re human beings just like we are and deserve the same respect and love we give to anyone else. And I really mean that, I don’t agree with the concept but they should have the same rights as we do, if they’re happy than just let them be happy, you know? People just need to learn that we’re all in this fucked up world together, yet so many people just want to cause damage and destroy everything around them because it’s funny to them? I don’t even understand their motivations but I’d love to know what they are.  
Not trying to virtue signal or anything like that, I just feel that my perspective could be beneficial to others.

The same concept can really be applied to any issue, take for example the things people do in the Middle East, I watched the film black hawk down recently and there was a scene in which the pilot had been captured by a crowd of “skinnies” as they referred to them, he was laying on a cot when I believe one of their luitenants (idfk how to spell that) came into talk to the pilot, he said he was a ranger, he kills his people, and the pilot said he’s not a ranger, that he was a pilot, the luitenant then offered him a cig, he says
 
“Heh, that’s right, none of you Americans smoke anymore, you all live long, dull, uninteresting lives,”
 
“What do you want with me?”
 
“You have taken hostages? We, have you”
 
“My government will never negotiate for me”
 
“Then perhaps, you and I, can negotiate, soldier, to soldier”
 
“I’m not in charge”
 
“That’s right, you have the power to kill but not negotiate, in Somalia, killing is negotiation, do you really think, if you capture our general, that we will simply put down our weapons? And adopt American Democracy? That the killing will stop? Well know this, without victory, there calm be no peace, there will always be killing, you see, that’s how things are in our world”
 
The pilot didn’t reply. But that scene really got me thinking, to the Somalians, the Americans were threatening their way of life, it was a cruel one, but it was all they knew, to us? They looked like monsters, but to them? It was normal, it was justified. I believe that, we are all the culmination of the things we each experience. We all act a certain way because of the things we’ve endured, and in a way I think it’s beautiful, the fact that, there are so many different ways of life due to the things people have endured, some of which are very cruel and violent, some of which are dull and uninteresting, and some can be beneficial to mankind, that conversation was one of the most important scenes in the movie and I wonder if it had happened in reality as well or if it was just thrown in there for the sake of the film. I would’ve asked the Somalian luteniant if the world he lived in was the one he wanted, if he enjoyed it, or if he was just doing what he had to do, or perhaps both.

The point im trying to make is that, I can understand those that are evil, I can have sympathy and empathy for them, or those that I don’t agree with. Every scenario is different and I believe anyone can be saved regardless of how far gone they believe they are.

I mean it in a broader sense, if people could be more open minded to accepting things they don’t agree with and not vilifying then the world could be a better place, the topic of gay seems to be all the rage these days as well as a lot of other things, again, not really trying to virtue signal or anything like that as talking about these sorts of things tend to get people really heated but that’s why I’m trying to address, is the hatred and aggression, that post was me by the way, i forgot to click anonymous but oh well. I feel very strongly in what I believe and maybe everythinf I said will go over peoples heads I don’t really know. Maybe it’ll help someone, our world view affects a lot on how we think and feel so I’d assume that most of the peoples world views here in this thread are rather dark and hopeless, and rather than trying to completely erase the darkness I believe it would be beneficial in trying to understand that darkness, in ourselves and within each other, even those we hate or disagree with, and to some their darkness may in fact be a light to them, as in if they do things we deem are evil, to them they may be justified due to things they’ve endured and rather than hate them for it try to understand them, learn from them.

The concept of right and wrong has no set in stone answers, rather it changes with every person and every world view, and rather than trying to force a world view on someone else or vilifying anyone who has one that’s different from ours, accept one another’s world views And compromise and forgive. Accept and understand.  
Granted, crimes should be answered for and there are people that are a danger to society and they should be dealt with accordingly.
 
That would be a perfect world and while that may never happen the best we can do is try to embrace a better one

Thank you. I suppose youre right, but to an extent a lot of trauma does come from our failures. Lifes not about how hard you can hit it back, its about how hard you can get hit. And how you pick yourself back up, and keep moving forward. You cant save yourself laying in the mud.
