I’m right in the same boat as you. It pains me deeply to see so many brainless and mentally devoid lackeys mulling about.
It is awful. I have always felt as if I were far more upbeat and positive in my outlook on things, more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt, overlook things, etc.
I hate what this has done to me from that perspective. Hate it. I am trying to work myself up to a level where I can reach a positive equilibrium, but I see a lot of things that make me feel very un-Christian thoughts.
It makes me angry at the perpetrators of this, to see normal people who are terribly frightened by all this, and then to read that article...something I have known in my mind but felt it in my heart to read of these young kids being traumatized for no good reason.
We have stolen their present, and laid mines in their futures.
