    See, I also agree that some people are worthless human trash, but there needs to be a healthier way for us to frame this for ourselves right?

    Just like a tree produces an imperfect and sour fruit on occasion, nature sometimes births people who do not fit into the cultural tapestry of our world. Maybe the tree lacked sunlight, or the soil lacked nutrients, or maybe just unlucky genetics. Maybe the kid lacked loving parents, or grew up in a war zone, or maybe just unlucky genetics.

    Either way, I don’t hate the fruit. I just try to avoid them and toss them to the side when I accidentally bite into one.

      i hear you and I wish I could unexperience some of my life experiences. I’m not saying that there is a big population of humans that are worth less than others but when you have witnessed firsthand what the worst of the worst, it’s an uncomfortable truth that sometimes people can be monsters unworthy of humanity.

        it’s an uncomfortable truth that sometimes people can be monsters unworthy of humanity.

        fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. its a mythological story about the emergence of consciousness into humanity. came with it was the discovery of time and “the future”, then the realization of vulnerability and the need to protect oneself, then the extrapolation that “if I can be hurt in xyz ways, I can make others hurt in those same ways”. consciousness begot the potential for both great good and great evil.

        people manifesting their evilness has been a problem since the very beginning. I think it helps to know that it’s not a new, modern age problem. but we should still try our best to minimize it much as we can.

          my ex brother in law is one of the monsters that I think of…

          years after my sister was able to escape him, he found himself about to kill his recent exlover

          the new boyfriend was ready and was a better shot and thankfully the world has one less monster in it
