47. "Sometimes, the universe just reminds us that it's a powerful thing." This is a very astute point! ...


The finger wagging, from those here who like to claim that we adults, who live in a free society with freedom of speech, need them to belittle some of us for expressing emotions are not only pedantic in their obsessive beliefs but are also being disrespectful.

Each of us, as free thinking adults, are entitled to police ourselves and express our feelings.

To attempt to silence someone that is telling you how they feel is a symptom of a deep psychological disturbance.

It's either a symptom of fear, of the need to exert power over others or the expression of the belief that only the very righteous are entitled to have feelings.

Plus, it expresses that those that express their, judged to be contrarian, emotions are wrong in their beliefs and are not entitled to their unique emotions.

Such judgment is also, whether deliberate or unconscious, sometimes an expression of a form of emotional abuse.

Thank you, hamsterjill. ❤️
