Aral, go wider. It's not at all stupid. It's brilliant and profitable as hell for short-term predatory capitalists. Short-term thinking? Now THAT is what's truly stupid!

Come on over. We carry three types at the ranch: Wet, Damp and Dry. (oh, there are some open doors for wisecracks there!)
Molly dot Com domain is for sale. Again. Talk to me about it only.
Do NOT use the site's link for sale. I want it gone. I don't give a fuck left. Sell it to Tortoises who dance on Hippo nipples while lighting crack pipes and eating MDMA.
JUST LET IT BE OVER ALREAY!

Low 70s and sunshine through Friday expected here at the foot of the Saguaro National Forest (West).
Now on the rare occasions snow comes low enough to cover the Saguaro Forests, it's unspeakably beautiful as shown in this photo (not mine). Otherwise, BIKINI!

For me it's more the latter. I don't really want to have to explain myself to people who haven't faced their own mortality much less the losses of friends and family as we age. As for misery loving company, I have doctors telling me to join widow grief support at the V.A. Um, no.
As an aware adult, yes, it is our responsibility to fix ourselves. Over and over and over again. Recover from trauma A and life brings the whole alphabet! Art Therapy was hugely helpful with breakthrough awareness and recovery (one year) versus decades of talk therapy and meds.
Maybe it wasn't lack of courage, but no desire to fight or aggress. Many bullied/beaten kids turn inward. I didn't. I fought back. It hurt me hard, but it was honest to my being.

I'm glad you thought about it and came to a clarification no less on #4. Your responses are frighteningly healthy lol ;-)
I would defend that self-deprecating statement about your courage to you. Sensitive people build defenses that we sometimes don't outgrow in sync with life's changes. Jumped by a gang and bullied is trauma and everyone deals with it differently. And usually not very well, alas.

I call this the "Theory of the Shit Box." We are all born with one. There will be misery, loss, horror, sickness, war, betrayal and ultimately death for us no matter what. So why do we keep putting more shit in shit box when it's FULL? Victim making is often a form of oppression.
No shortage of misery in the world. Some of us prefer to band together to ease the burden instead of joining in the cycle of victimization.

It seems almost all people who respond to me have been victimized and dehumanized in life somehow,
Is this a reflection of my experience or reality?
And if it's all true, why do we wonder why we have a broken world?

My 'Las Vegas' naming trauma! is solved. Breakin' it down:
"Vegas" is the upscale portion. "City of Las Vegas" gets you pulled over for wearing a hoodie.
A civil society demands civil policing!
