  1. ​​​​​​ @goldenbox7803 There are both sides to every story. Being stuck in victimisation doesn't help. To me, the most awful, heart-wrenching is that some "important" and evil people benefit from perpetuating this conflict and let people suffer, antagonising them against one another. Propagandising. Letting kids to die. People on the ground have no life. They are traped in evil. It is so evil. The problem of evil and suffering is so sad.

  2. Sometimes, we have to believe in the ideal world. It is called "idealisation mechanism" and proved to be life-saving emotionally in a childhood some people had. I think it is good to be idealistic as an adult because we do not give in to cynicism and strive for an ideal - a beautiful driving force, which is spiritual and life changing - but at the same time "harsh realities of life" have to be acknowledged and integrated into the psyche. It takes a lot of pain to do it, but it is a necessary process involved in emotional maturation.At the same time to deal with evil and suffering face on, rather than not seeing it, is very difficult, but it is an important task for each one of us. It is possible to do it through facing the reality of suffering and evil, experiencing it at your core.At the same time not giving in to cynicism, egoism, or despair. Solzenycyn, Dostoyevsky, Victor Frankl, and many others great thinkers went through it. Many other people too.

  3. I don't think anyone can keep his chill seeing it, confronting it and hearing it being named as it is.
