I’m sitting here pondering what you wrote and trying to understand what you mean. “Life isn’t fair”, or just for that matter, are absolutely true in my opinion. However, justice is still a goal worth striving for. Do you still agree with that, or did that go out the door because of your experiences? And, I am sorry for the harsh experiences you’ve had. I can relate to loved ones being sick, but thankfully not to war.
- dmos62 4y agoHey, thanks for relating. To answer your question, I guess I've become a bit "robotic", for the lack of a better word, about justice. I find that kindness, protection, being fair, etc. are important ways to take care of others, which to some extent is pleasant on its own, but also can have desirable knock-on effects. In short, good will leads to good will. I don't experience it as a moral or metaphysical dilemma, but as a calculation.
- Balgair 4y agoFrom your posts, it sounds like you've been through a lot. Have you been doing any therapy or counseling to help out? I've been going through a lot too, and even a tiny bit of counseling has helped me out. I'm genuinely not trying to dismiss your feelings or thoughts, just hoping that you are getting the help you need in such a trying time. I hope things get better for you and your's.
- dmos62 4y agoHey, thanks for your concern. I hope that things go well for you as well. I'd say I'm not that bad off. While I don't feel like counseling is something I urgently need, I'm sure it would have a positive effect, and I'd love to do it some time.
- DougN7 4y agoHaving never thought I needed counseling, after having had some, I wish everyone could do it (assuming you find a good counselor). Hope you get that chance to try it.
