(not really but it's a prominent topic in today's rant) Curses... Are interesting lol they can mean words like "fuck" or "dammit" or the word could be an expression for something you got yourself into that you realized that would literally eat up your time 🥴 or, or if we're going into the fantasy world curses are the things witches cast on other people.... To be fair, I'm going to be blunt here and say that I side with the witches in most stories, they're just kinda misunderstood hermits 😅 and all they really want to do is to be left alone to brew their potions and spin magical yarn; but here come these damn soldiers and peasants (among other things) trespassing and spoiling the witch's land! And another thing! Witches weren't born evil, they really weren't... They were born with the same potential to be good or evil but apparently fairy tale spinners forget that bit, that it's oftentimes our environment and how we grew up that will more often than not shape how we live or experience life, you have a good experience with your peers and whatever you aren't soured by the damn circumstances you often have a more pleasant disposition and the opposite of that causes people to sour and turn their backs on the concept of acceptance. Often enough people are not friendly with differences because "oh, we don't understand why they're like this" so... Instead of getting to know people you assume they should be ostracized and demonized? Wow, I mean wow. I guess hate is easier than empathy? (It isn't really) Empathy and love works better in the long run 🌱
Below is this weird wee bit of writing I did a bit ago 🔽
"Hate is a strong word, but so is love. Both are intoxicating and addictive like hard drugs; yet hate seems to be the cheap drugs whereas love is like that high octane crystal meth that'll make your teeth fall out. And yet we seem to love the cheap cocaine that's probably a faulty batch that doesn't give you the same high although because of the faulty mixture it's more addictive.
Or I guess in lower quantities the faulty coke is "safer" but will still eventually kill you, so why not just get your hands on the top of the line methamphetamine? Cost? I dunno maybe it's the fact that the faulty cocaine is more readily available? Is that it, cause if that's it you could probably make a deal with the dealer. But that's just one perspective on the matter I suppose.
Bottom line though guys: do you want to spend your money on the faulty cocaine or get the methamphetamines and absolutely knock your socks out? The choice is yours"
But anyway, love & understanding is within all of us... So why are we stuffing it further into ourselves? Why do so many humans! Choose to hate & ostracize because I really don't get it, it's upsetting and I really don't know if I want to understand.
