Yeah. Everybody’s got a sad story. But you’re not automatically entitled to have someone else protect you from every thing and everybody in the world. You get to have the same chance as everyone else to figure out the way the universe works and how to be happy. Once you’re over the age of about 15, you don’t get to blame other people. Not your crazy mother. Not the uncle who touched you there. Not the mean old husband. .You can blame all the bad people who did things to you. But what does that get you? Nothing. Sure. They were bad people. We understand. We agree with you. They’re bad people. So? You better learn how to blame yourself, because if you pretend you’d be just fine without all the bad people, we’ve got news for you. There’s no end of bad people. Find the way to learn that you can’t be hurt and you won’t be afraid. That’s YOUR job. Maybe you do it. Maybe you don’t. No one can do it for you. And, yes, entities that can’t learn don’t thrive. Way of the world. The only game in town. So get on with it.
