I don't think anyone is asking anyone else to question why they are upset.
I'm just questioning the utility of turning against Deneb... Getting her blocked or whatever...
If this were a support group for people who'd lost children to violence... I'd agree 100%.
But it isn't. Its a site for people struggling with mental health issues.
And ones attitude towards death can be part of the very problem that has sent one here...
I'm not saying that all expressions of that are acceptable.
I'm just trying to render it understandable.
Nicer to help reduce bad feeling and work towards positive changes than to contemplate punishments / retaliations.
Nicer to feel that one has a certain degree of control (though not complete control) over how much one allows oneself to be affected by others.
It is too easy to rail at others for 'making us feel'.
Too easy to rail at others for not protecting us from our own emotional responses.
So very much harder to try and be sympathetic to all concerned.Its hard...
I don't want to fight
With anybodyHuman nature...
