"'What got SL here?
I grew up in a war zone.
I wanted to die many nights." SL
I Adored my mother. My poor, desperately sick
younger sister had her constantly under massive
psychological, viciously hostile, SCREAMING attack.
I totally didn't know what to do TO MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And now I weep at the recollection.)
Violence (non-Loving) was not within me;
Nor was a REMOTELY sufficient
capacity or competence for Tough-Loving.
I just didn't know how, had not undergone the training.
I've been unwilling to remain incapable, incompetent.
My TOTAL AND COMPLETE HORROR at
war / NEEDLESS SUFFERING is ever more acute,
as is my recognition that it IS THE TOTALLY WRONG ANSWER.
