The types of replies I'm seeing at DU can only spring from a deep well of self-hatred. In all honesty, I feel more pity for them than disgust; they seem pretty miserable with their own existence.
I know that when I've gone through times in my life where I wasn't happy with myself, I tended to act out in ugly in ways towards others. Now, in my older years where I'm happy and satisfied with myself, that sort of behaviour is alien to me.
I do wonder what it would have been like if, in those days, I would have had a place to hang out with other tortured souls. I believe it would have only fed my ugly feelings and actions, instead of allowing me to get out in the real world and deal with them.
Okay, enough about DU from me. My best wishes and hopes for a speedy release for the kidnapped Fox crew.
Nice post. Welcome to FreeRepublic.
re your post #336: A very wise observation - so very true about all of us at one time or another. Thank you.
