"the road to madness" like a user that went by "Ago" used to say.
Like my ex neighbor, a lady that yelled at me when I went out of my apartment... she helped me realize there are some people that, God knows how their life has been like so far, but got so much pain and no emotional guidance, that the only thing they can do is throw venom to others. I remember I saw her and it reminded me like a dog with rabies, no offense -to the poor dogs with rabies- very nervous and uneasy and mad and agressive.
As if there was not enough violence in this world.
It doesn't feel good to engage in those interactions. It DOES feel good when one takes the high road. Or when one goes no contact and decides not to hurt anymore, and/or be the recipient of others hurt.
All the times I have damaged another person it was not about the other person but about my own misery, frustration and pain...that's what I had to give then.....
