You know what's really sad, about how things work today (not just here on the site, but in the whole world )?

... That people who have been wronged, and who dare to speak up in moral outrage, are painted out to be the bad guys.

The good people, those with decent values, are called upon to be forgiving... which they always are -- that's their way.

I'll tell you, though, it can be a spirit-breaker. 

One nasty beastie can easily bench twenty good ones.

The worst part of it all, is that the majority of humankind sits in the middle ground and learns that the safest route is to not care.

More words of wisdom, from someone who has been around:

...sometimes, "turning the other cheek", has a pleasant outcome.

I take exactly the opposite viewpoint from Fragment, and feel diametrically opposed to the 'not my problem'  philosophy. Others' problems are my problems, and the state of the world is essentially my problem.

I worry constantly about events taking place, both her and in the world in general, feeling strongly that the whole planet is on a fast track to absolute hell, and under the control of evil monsters who will stop at nothing to destroy everything around us, and twist the rest to evil, nefarious purpose.

...not that there's a lot I can actually do about the above, but at least I can get it out of my system via ranting about it

See 'orgasm thread' General Forum for more information about 'having a few pulls'.

The conclusion (if you don't want to plough through it all) is that it's very, very overrated.
