       We are all connected.  When one of us suffers, then we all do.  You didn't opt into this.  It comes free with your being human.  You know its true, because it hurts.  You feel it, no matter how much you try to ignore it.  Its there.Do you want to really be horrified?  Consider how many times you've inflicted hurt on another person.  Take a minute.  Look deep inside.  You are a terror, especially to yourself, by proxy through other people.  Don't feel singled out.  We, those of us with the self-awareness to think, have all come to that realization.  So now what?We all have to find that inhumanity that lives inside of us and **kill it**.  It has to die.  We all have it, and we all have to deal with it.  The day will come when you need to take a shotgun, go down to that cellar, that deep dark place, inside your own soul, and shoot whatever is down there, shoot it in the head, as many times as you need to, and walk away, forever, never looking back.If you can just make this last sacrifice, you might, just might, finally find happiness.  That part of yourself, the cruelty, the vindictiveness, the retribution, the bitterness, and the radioactive reaction to the sum effect of all of the pain you've endured... it has to stop.  It has to end.  You can't heal while its alive, and you're the only one who can stop it. Ask yourself, when the time comes, can you shoot your past self, all the words and actions and petty revenge, shoot it in the head, walk away, and never look back on its rotting remains?  Can you bury a part of yourself that no longer serves you, and only separates you from the rest of the species?I believe in you.  You can take it.  You can do it.  You can cut that cord, and survive.  You're a champion.  I believe in you, with all the energy I wish people ever believed in me.  Nothing, nothing at all, can stop a determined person, never, not even death itself.Its time, to see yourself as you truly are, and face down that truth, and do what must be done.

       @prettygood this "kill that part of you" can be a great start for many though i've found just staying there for years does not workthe thing that is a terror, while it is down and before it can flee and regain strength somewhere in hiding, you can sometimes pick it apart and figure out the thing it is so desperately trying to protectsomeday even convince the terror to let it go, and thereby be free to begin slowly learning to just be another part of you again
