Hey, thanks for relating. To answer your question, I guess I've become a bit "robotic", for the lack of a better word, about justice. I find that kindness, protection, being fair, etc. are important ways to take care of others, which to some extent is pleasant on its own, but also can have desirable knock-on effects. In short, good will leads to good will. I don't experience it as a moral or metaphysical dilemma, but as a calculation.


From your posts, it sounds like you've been through a lot. Have you been doing any therapy or counseling to help out? I've been going through a lot too, and even a tiny bit of counseling has helped me out.

I'm genuinely not trying to dismiss your feelings or thoughts, just hoping that you are getting the help you need in such a trying time. I hope things get better for you and your's.


Hey, thanks for your concern. I hope that things go well for you as well. I'd say I'm not that bad off. While I don't feel like counseling is something I urgently need, I'm sure it would have a positive effect, and I'd love to do it some time.


Having never thought I needed counseling, after having had some, I wish everyone could do it (assuming you find a good counselor). Hope you get that chance to try it.
