If we’re all one, and everyone deserves love, how am I to deal with all these people doing horrible things?

Mandella welcome and I really can appreciate your feelings. I too believe we are all one, all connected in the web of life. I wonder how these motherfuckers fit in? I really don’t get it. I suppose I’ve come to the conclusion that some of us here are not the same. Something has fucked up. Maybe an alien invasion, maybe these fucktards aren’t human….or maybe they are and we’re not. I know in my heart I try to love all folks, and then I look here everyday at these motherfuckers and I cannot love baby killers. I cannot love pedophiles. I cannot accept these individuals are anything like me. Their brains are different, their total makeup is different and really, truthfully, the whole fucking mess of it scares the fuck out of me. Which I suppose is why I try to live in my Hippie bubble, and why I live on a farm in the middle of fucking nowhere. I feel lost sometimes in a world I do not recognize. Alone in a place where brothers and sisters seem to have the coldest fucking hearts.

You mentioned being addicted to the site, my friend. Let me tell you, all of us feel that way. I think part of it for me, is the connection to other people who are as horrified as I am. I feel I communicate with loving humans here. (yeah we can all get shitty with these asshats and perverts but the hearts here are strong, loving and courageous.) Most of the regular posters here on the DD, I absolutely treasure.

Again, welcome. Glad to have you!

They probably make it more palatable, though.

Make what more palatable – my snot, or her picture?

Lizard, you know you love me long time, baybee…….

What?! I didn’t say anything!

Of course! How could anyone NOT love me?

I’m a fan of literally everyone who’s posted in this thread. Yes, even you, Angel.

I can’t believe that any humans are born evil (nor can I value-compare the human life to that of a lousy appendix). Therfore, humans (in my estimation) are either a) born with genetic defects which may or may not include inclinations towards alcoholism, pedophilia, or any other range of mental and physical illnesses OR b) develop mental illnesses OR c) are ruined by society, socialization, bad parenting, etc, etc, etc.

She was sad and depressed BEFORE she got behind the wheel; it’s not just because she was caught doing something wrong. She was drunk at 7 PM, with her kid in the car. Why was she drunk at 7PM? Because she’s a miserable and unhappy human. And she’s a part of me.

She’s obviously fucked up, I’ll grant you. But I can’t say that I’d have her “elminated” from the body of the collective ME or WE or whatever you wanna call it.

I don’t know what to do, other than be filled with sadness that a part of me (we) is so sick and sad and wrong.

So just say, “Hi, my name is Mandella, and I have DAD.” Most people will look at you oddly, nod, and say “of course you do.” But those of us who know will offer you a moist towelette for the couch and a drink for chat night.

Welcome Mandella!!!! All I can say – you know the company you keep… . Actually we are a great bunch unless you’re a murderer or pedophile or a drunk driver – then we don’t skimp on the public shaming.
