> Being bad is the worst thing in the world to me. I'm not trying to be hypocritical in being nice to fires. Nor do I want any positive statements made about it, because my motive is just to not be a "bad girl". And I have a lot of mixed feelings about it, because I'm afraid it will hurt others, in which case I'll still have been bad even if I was trying not to be bad. Because standing by and letting people be hurt without doing something is very very bad. And doing something that makes it more likely that people will be hurt is very very very very very bad.
> But being unkind is also bad.Examples of that kind of thinking are often used in books about CSA and the type of thinking that develops in survivors of CSA. Interesting. It is almost as if there isn't any way to be good enough ever with that type of thought process. Plus the mention of not being the bad girl really makes me curious as to why that is first and foremost the way to strive to be. I'm intrigued by the choices of words and the reasons for always seeking harmony even when harmony might not exist.
I seek no ongoing discourse but wanted to mention the things I found interesting here.
