Imagine being so fragile that seeing a rope tied in a specific knot destroys you?
It’s like being so frail and full of self-doubt that if an anonymous person uses a bad word against you, it makes you seek professional assistance.
I never understood why anybody wanted to let themselves be controlled by others, especially anonymous others. I learned that lesson in grade school, when I was the butt of so many jokes and attacks, and decided I just didn’t care if someone called me Hitler, or a Narc, or made up nicknames for me.
You have to get strength from within, and realize that nobody else’s opinions matter.
But here we have an entire generation that not only DOES let everybody else get to them, they put extra stock in things said and done by people they think are evil and abhorent.
Like, if you don’t believe in God, why do you go to the police and report a hate crime if someone tells you that what you are doing will send you to a fictional hell, banished by a non-existent God? IF you think neo-Nazi’s are scum, why do you care if they have a confederate flag, why do you let them ruin your day?
