Massive Trigger

Utopia, many things are disgusting in this country as well as in this world, we can do only so much to change such things, we have governance and laws and all kinds of things that should come into play but don't because people put on blinders to the atrocities and listen only to what they want, that these people are evil and crap like that, imagine we were so cold and callous at the end of Vietnam, people are easily led and controlled these days they don't fight they don't care it's a time of greed.

You need to step back, you feel strongly and that says a lot, but you can't let it destroy you, you need to stop and think you could not do that to someone, and neither could I so what does that say about those that can and those that allow it, you have heard me speak of monsters anyone who could harm a child is so much lower than that.

There are many things alluded to by me and others in here that cannot be unseen or unexperienced, things like that seen can cause us all manner of fear, anger, hate, and that it has been bought to the attention of people through said tv show might bring about action against it, hence why it was broadcast would be my opinion, I doubt they were showing it as a form of entertainment, so look at it in that way that this program has information and is bringing it to the populace in an attempt to bring about a change and fix to the situation there.

I really dont know if it helps, but sometimes I ask myself how I would react if I were someone else, ie stable, coping, successful even, people who I have now grown away from .. have tried it in the past. did make it easier

Oh shit. Just made a huge mistake and watched 4corners program on children in detention /prison in the NT. I couldn't look away as they showed the cctv footage of the guards torturing these kids.
I want to scream and swear. Most of all I want to physically and psychologically mess those adults up. I'm horrified. I'm ..... I feel like being sick.
What the f*** are we doing to our children. How the f*** is this allowed to happen. How on earth are these 'adults' getting away with this. But most of all - what will happen to these children now.
My heart is beyond broken. And all I know is that my tears won't save any of them.

I dont like seeing the pain of asylum seekers and the kids ... and march .. and do stuff too .. it is better to do something as it helps us .. and it helps the cause.

I also know a lot of people who are adults and deal with the fallout of that kind of stuff from the time we were all in the orphanages ... there are many people suffering in the world ... I find it hard in the CBD in town ... as there are so many sleeping on the streets.

Been going into town a lot for about 8 years now ... and so have had to learn how to praqctise boundaries ... and not give away all my stuff or my son's stuff ...

you have a caring soul @utopia and you are much better at finding supportive words than I am .. the aspie ... logical side in me can seem a bit cool ... but that is the way I think though I am a big softie as well.

Its good you let them out. @utopia I love your profile name. I dont believe it is good to be completely untouched by horror and tragedy. I have been upset by the daily report of yet another mass shooting. It never used to be daily.

I am bit logical and reserved irl ... or at least used to be ... and for 30-40 years I thought I didnt have normal feelings .... doh ... and thought some of it may be gender related ... but now I have dug deep enough .. I no longer think tht is the issue ... i was SHing them (feelings) away but have learned with some professional help and some self help to accept and live with them ... now I realise I am as sensitive and intuitive and psychic as the next girl ...
