Even if someone comes around as a fucking retarded asshole, he/she/it is acting this way just because he/she/it is struggling with life in some way, like all of us do/did and will always do so again.
This resonated deeply within me.
Very insightful.
Thank you for the perspective. As obvious as it is in retrospect, I have not considered the sentiment as you have stated.
I also have to thank you, for making the original post that made me remember, associate and reply to, making it possible to share it with our virtual family here on bitcointalk's WO thread.
My kids were teaching me this, not too long ago. Not that they have told me, but i saw it in my behavior in front of them on days standing out from the rest.
OK, fuck it, i'll tell you the whole story:
I realized they were "not behaving well", or "unusually disrespectful" at the least, on days when there were huge bearish bitcoin market moves. In reality, i was upset, even if just a little, they were sensing the slightest restlessness inside me, which made them feel to stand outside of my awareness, feeling left alone by me, by getting less, but more stressing attention. Then they did their best to "move themselves into focus" again, which made me react in an angry manner. One day it just hit me, thinking "they are like that sometimes, but most time it doesn't bother me that much". Some thoughts later, i remembered a quote, similar to the one you quoted from my post above, but after that, it was just sticking in my mind. It was like watching my mind to attach the meaning of the quote to "bad behaviour", when i react too much to it, let it draw my negative attention to it. I also experienced these situations a couple of times in the days and weeks after this event, mainly some with shitty covid19/political background details hitting the news.
Now, some months later, i can see the struggling person in the opponent(s) of most social conflicts, even if only visualized before my inner eyes, and react differently to it.
IRL, it doesn't work every time, though, which i think is to be blamed to my lil memory problems or too heavy distraction.
On the other hand, we wouldn't be humans if we would be or act flawless
EDIT: I hope the story makes sense, i omitted many details, but there's that project i am "working" on now...
Alcohol turned out to be a pretty good solvent for THC, i'm still experimenting with preparing the good stuff at different temperatures, with different concentrations, eiher gin or vodka as carrier. Today i tested vaporizer remains, which is almost as potential as thc-oil, soaked three days in japanese gin. I definitely have to add a good multitude of pure gin because i made a gin-tonic with 4cl (double shot), and i didn't even have a full quarter of the drink, nor might i have the balls to empty it, in face of fighting a full, busy day tomorrow, starting in about eight hours.
I had no idea what i will be going through, just for a freaky christmas present idea for some long time friends. Made me think i've already become too old for this
