Of those who experience the cruelties man can summon, there are two groups who experience it most often: The cruel and the foolish.
So belong to neither; be as gentle as a dove and as shrewd as a snake. Don't make yourself a target when you stand to gain nothing.
^It's a philosophy I've ascribed to all my life and it's been successful so far :)
Also- Men have died for saying the wrong thing. If you want to see someone heading for trouble, look for someone who's not guarding their words carefully.
I do feel I guard my words pretty well, but I suppose I should prepare myself for it if I'm posting something vulnerable. I dunno, when someone posts about something personal or obviously upsetting, I make sure I'm kind because I would never want to kick someone while they're down.
There's always the hope that maybe if you post about some controversial issue you could help or inspire someone else going through the same thing, but I realise most people don't spend so much time thinking about others.
It's just sad that it has to be that way. Who looks at someone who's hurting and reaching out for help and thinks "What can I do to make this worse?" It's just beyond me...
Is it normal I've apparently made some enemies here?
