Narrowing it down to…
So I guess I got it now.
Corrupt people use the idea of the government to take your guns so they can rob you. Corrupt people use the idea of god and religion to take your logic and ethics to get your money and your support and surrender. Corrupt people use the idea of the family to take your creativity, your curiosity, your thrive to participate and to be of value, your voluntarism and your desire for joy and happiness, so they can take your… your lives.
Get rid of these illusions and they will have to overtly bully you to take those things. You will make it evident and, if they don’t fend you off, you will naturally just leave.
The plan is to avoid these corrupt people, focus on building strong relationships, and when they ultimately self-destruct, we’ll keep the strong, sane friendships.
The focus then now, I suppose, is in getting the message out that these things are false.
I won't let go of past me, but rather invite him to chill at my birthday.
