Deanna,

Some of the most interesting conversations I have had are with people who disagree with me. The thing is that the other person has to have an open mind and not judge the others who do not think like they do which is the case with Bella Online. It is insane how people just get angry when they read or hear someone say something that they do not agree with then just proceed to attack them just because of that.

I know I am a human being and I also know there are other human beings that are not deranged evil worthless scum but the majority of us are. Empathy is the root and most human beings just do not have any. The worst is that some actually has empathy but at one point in their lives they just decide to not use that empathy anymore, that is scarier than the people who are born without any. My empathy is not used for criminals and the heartless (good example is on Live Leak theres a video of a teenage girl that is completely burned except for her eyes and teeth she went back inside her burning house to save her mom - in that video there are pages and pages of people who either joke about it or are disgusted by her - people who do that does not deserve my empathy and wont get it either).

I actually do smile without any reason why I am in public or when I just want to be nice, sometimes it feels good sometimes not.

I have money so a way out plus I live in a place that I like so it is not bleak like it was when I was in Ste-Florence. I just want to take my time before finally leaving my parents behind that the money I have do not run out before I get a job where I will start a new life, ending up on the streets or with a roof over my head but hungry would not be a great new start. At least here during my hell I am guaranteed a roof, electricity, water, food, satellite dish and internet.

Hi Nancy,

LOL.... yeah, sometimes it's hard to believe someone else's view could possibly hold any merit, especially when we feel very strongly we are right wink

I'm really okay with the idea that we each have our own personal truth, and it may not align with someone else's version of the truth.

Like for me, it has not been my experience that the majority of people are "deranged, evil, worthless, scum." I actually find that the majority of people are loving, and compassionate beneath any seemingly crunchy exterior.

I believe that only those who are in a great deal of pain themselves could possibly hurt another. So I don't think it's as much to do with empathy as it is feeling limited and isolated and misunderstood. Yeah, I do understand there are a small number of people who seem to have not a trace of empathy, but this us usually linked to pretty severe abuse, or abandonment and withholding of love, while that person is a newborn, or infant.

This is why the power of our choice is our greatest super-power. We choose how we perceive the world, at every level. If we believe in a friendly world, we'll experience a friendly world. If we believe in a chaotic, hateful world, then that will be our experience.

That's why two people who attend the same event can come away with two experiences - one may have enjoyed it, while the other hated it.

There is something that I like to remind myself when I start feeling that the world is out to get me:

Your life is governed by the truth, whether you believe it or not.
However, your experience of life is governed by your beliefs, whether they are true or not.

Thank the gods we have the power to change our perceptions, right smile
