An upsetting phone call.

[ysobelle]

Just got off the phone with a dear friend who's being hurt by someone else to the point of cruelty. It seems today is just the day for stupid fucking people doing stupid fucking things with no regard for others.

Is it so hard to think things through? To just make an effort to be considerate and compassionate?

I'm so frustrated I just want to cry. Or scream. Or beat someone.

I've never stopped being amazed at that.

I don't think people that hurt others like that are making or not making the effort; it's just not in their understanding. I think all people have behavior response mechanisms that work well enough, but not all people have the same empathy radar.

I hope your friend puts some distance between themself and whomever hurt them.

But again, I agree....I've just never stopped shaking my head at wondering aloud that same question, what can somebody possibly be thinking, etc.

I'm all for the 'beat someone' line of thinking. There's been a paucity of ass-kicking in your life lately (at least in the literal sense...you always kick ass metaphorically, dear)... so haul out those Pointy Boots!

Yeah. I got one of THOSE e mails today. From a complete stranger. Who didn't know me, or any of my friends. I hate that. We should just start handing out beat downs. :) You game?
