I’ll never be able to look at my parents the same way.

I'm never looking at mine ever again. And we're in freaking Australia. I hate how far the rot spreads, but, sometimes it's just better to cut loose and move on.

Let me get downvoted for this.

Time heals.

Time can heal all wounds.

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful acts we can perform human to human.

Yes, it shows all the hate in all around us, however. Don’t underestimate the mountains of psychological research and manipulation that went into all these million dollar propaganda enterprises like Fox News, Cambridge Analytica, the Murdochs, etc.

They are victims of mass manipulation. It is far better to look at them as if they are severe drug addicts than to write them off completely.

Hope this helps someone. It helped me.

I don't disagree with you, but there are wounds that time alone cannot heal. Same goes for drug addicts.

They can make amends, but I won't forget.

Forgivness comes after acknowledging your wrongs, taking responsibility, apologizing, and making amends. You don't get to keep being a POS while everyone ignores it and welcomes you into the fold.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Yup.

Masks off. Lot of people I can't see the same anymore.

It's truly terrifying. We all grew up asking "how did Germans let it happen" and now we know exactly how it happened.

Not all of us. Just over thirty percent. Of course there is a another thirty percent who will take no action at all until it impacts their daily lives. They will not even vote. They didn't this last time either.

Is this a quote from an indigenous leader about puritans coming to North America?

They're are a lot of, strange commas, being used, here.

[–] nyamlae@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They are strange, but in an ordered way. They are using commas when a complex noun phrase ending in a noun of the same number is the subject of a clause. (See what I did there?) I wish they used a different punctuation mark, to be honest, but I get how it reduces the number of possible readings that the mind has to juggle.
