Don't ever feel bad to share. Sometimes some of the evils of this world just hit us particularly hard. Perhaps its because it is so vile. Or because it catches us at a time where we feel down to begin with.
Reaching out and sharing or just venting is one way to relieve the burden on the mind just a little bit.
So much evil in this world, isn't there ? It truly is mind blowing. What I find sad is that some people focus on such unimportant things. It really turns me off when people conserve their hatred and prejudice towards people such as homosexuals or people that are just different but do not hurt anyone. Who cares what people do in the privacy of their home or with whom? As long as its consensual? Who are we to tell people whether they have the right to have some love and someone to hold close in their lives. One of the big reason religion turns me of. To often used for hatred and prejudice and judgement. I have faith. But I don't believe in religion as its man made and humans always have an agenda and like to manipulate.
But enough of that point of it, or I will be known as the off topic queen. Its just that you get bombarded nowadays with that kind of prejudice and hatred and it always makes me think, isn't there enough TRUE evil in the world? Truly terrible people we should be "hating" or trying to do something about? Why do rapists and molesters still get out in a short while (jeez, tax cheaters get longer jail time) just to do the same or worse crimes? I'm a big fan of true crime, in books and on TV, I LOVE Forensic Files, but its mind blowing to me at times. How many women or children get raped and murdered by people that were previously locked up for the same crimes.
So sad that to this very day, women always have to keep in the back of the mind that they could get attacked. Going jogging? Better go where there are people and in daylight. Cross a dark parking lot? Don't tell me you aren't nervous. Why is this ? So much evil out there, and we focus on who people may love. Its sad.
Every now and then I come across a story that hits me particularly hard. Truly the kind that you cannot shake and it affects you deeply.
For me it was a book I recently read. Got it for free on my Kindle.
It is a very, very hard read. Not only because it is a true story. Its not even as "gory" as the one about Jeffrey Dahmer (which was also very hard to read). Its the whole point about how evil people can be. And even worse...how seemingly normal people can join in to this. Can loose all of their humanity and join in. A bunch of them. From different back grounds. Its like a pack mentality. What does that say about us as humans ? What is anyone truly capable of given the circumstances ?
I know you are a curious bunch, so I will link you to the book. But read the reviews first, it will tell you just how much it affects many people, and how difficult of a read it is.

You also don't want to ask me what I would like to happen to people that do this to children. Or really anyone that tortures, rapes, murders, maims. On one hand I don't want to lower myself to the same level and wish evil upon them. But its hard not to do.
