Our lives aren't about those guys... our and your lives are about you guys... us guys.

Life isn't about avoiding getting mocked or talked about negatively. It's about finding the people who love you as is on a personal level, to a point that makes and lets you ignore all the others' verbal abuse because you are busy loving and being loved by your own people. And yes, sometimes that means standing up to those that mock each other, when it becomes harassment or becomes threatening or harmful to your and your loved ones' physical integrity or freedom. 

That's the point too. Everyone's right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and peaceful anticipation of happiness finding us if and when we can't go looking for it.

Theirs too, but you are their victim at this point. It isn't you that owes them therapy. All you owe them is -- IF you are up to it yourself-- to acknowledge their own sentience to them, since it's clear their life is in utter lack of such acknowledgment of their sentience, their humanity, their value and worth and right to exist on this planet. This will help them realize their people are out there... maybe they've already met or found them but they aren't aware yet that they're each other's people... or maybe their people are those they will meet later. But as soon as they become aware of this, that triggers reassurance in them that it will inevitably happen anyway and also triggers their motivation to look for it. And those two feed into each other until they and their people do run into each other very shortly after that.

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!
