I walked around the World Trade Center Memorial yesterday and I was thinking a lot about this actually. Can you imagine being so brainwashed to hate others? To want to kill, yourself included??
I do appreciate being in a big city sometimes though because racism and homophobia is smashed on every street corner and people are more accepting, while there is still so much hate around. Two men were obviously on fentanyl on the train and everyone was disgusted. It's true - with age comes astute awareness of things that never even crossed my mind as a teen/young adult.
