Moral and Value policing... Sigh.
I'm tired of being told what to think and feel.
I was in a discord conversation today.
Someone dropped a picture of a person who disfigured himself with tattoos, piercings, and plastic surgery. He is going blind from eye tattoos
I'm not talking a little bit either, like some sleeves I didn't like.
A friend of mine that is very far Right started being critical and another friend of mine that is really far Left started to tell everyone and each other how they should feel about it.
I didn't feel the same thing as either of my friends.
Well, maybe it is because how sad this person looks, that I sad I felt sad for him.
I got a lecture from both the left and the right friend...
But you know what? I'm tired of being told what I have to think about things.
When I see this guy, I feel sad.
That's the feeling I have.
I don't care if you hate him, I don't care if you feel he looks like he is expressing himself.
I also have my own opinions on Masks, Covid, Many political ideas... And they don't have to align with your feelings and thoughts.
You can bully people into silence, but you can't make them agree.
The first thoughts that came to mind, when I saw the picture was - What on earth is he trying to do. What was/is he thinking. What could propel someone to disfigure himself thus. lol

@whatsup, Everyone have a Choice so it's their choice no matter what it is. We can share our perspective but we are no one to tell the absolute Way Of Living to someone.
Have a blessed time ahead.

"I'm tired of being told what I have to think about things."
I couldn't agree more.
How have you been? How has this place been? It's been months since I have had a chance to come around this site so I am completely out of the loop.

I look at him... and whereas I do also feel slightly sad, my question to him is "What exactly IS the statement you're trying to make? What is it you want me to take away and remember, about my encounter with you... if ANYthing?"
Maybe it's nothing... beats me. I guess I'm more curious than anything; I want to understand what I am seeing...
