So you don't consider people who volunteer to build houses for the homeless as labor? (I am not comparing myself to them!) What I experienced was the same level of stress as after moving a two bedroom apartment in one day. Call that what you will. About 10 people privately messaged me that they appreciated my effort in keeping the conversation civil and helping everyone be heard. > Proclamations of emotional "work" are actually just passive-aggressive pleas for others to affirm one's values. I could honestly give a shit what anyone thinks of my values. But I do want everyone to treat everyone else with respect, to try to understand each other, and have compassion for each other. That is my plea: please care about people.
