In Response To: suffering (Dustin Parker)

I relate. Especially with the losing of a loved one.

But I'm also a much different person now than I used to be a few years ago. The Seiko childhood story in Scarab #3 was in many ways my own. I experienced a lot of "impact" in my very early years.
Like Seiko, I experienced physical discipline as the first response to a situation and I suppose I started to react physically as my own first response to a situation.
I took it as a natural response. Physical confrontations were no big deal, and even in play, I didn't know when an activity was over until someone was bleeding.
It didn't matter if it was me or someone else. I didn't even realize that this was abnormal becaouse a lot of my friends played the same way. But it my early twenties it sort of dawns on you that you are not supposed to get in fights so much and have so many open wounds when You are trying to do business in a business setting.

I really really related to fightclub.

I learned to let it "slide". I started to have a lot more appreciation for everyone else's point of view and their right to see reality the way they need to.

I also started to see the world from a "we" point of view rather than an "I" or an "us" versus "them" perspective.
