  • I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted in a shitpost sub. Some people who can’t love themselves try their best to make sure others share in their pain. It’s ok. I found your joke lighthearted and amusing, and my day is better for it. I hope you have a great day, too. Do we ever stop to think about how today is one out of a limited amount we will live? Surely, under such circumstances, I want my brothers and sisters to experience as little pain as possible. It seems only right. Sometimes that amounts to tough lessons, but what use is a chide without a correction? It comes down to indecency - a decent person passes negative judgements in a constructive, not a dismissive way. But, unfortunately, your fellow humans are not always so enlightened. What then? Well, I suppose we must carry their pain for them, along with our own, and we must resist the temptation to pass our pain off on others. Over time, this builds character - and when you can recognize quality character in others, you can form alliances and work together to teach others to likewise build character. It becomes a rather rewarding process, over time. Cheers my friend. Let us join our good will together, and together be a force for kinship, love, empathy, and stoutheartedness in this fragile, broken, but beautiful world. Peace my friend - I love you when even no one else will. Don’t ever forget that! And think of my from time to time, my friend!
