What do you find difficult that is relatively normal for everyone else?

People getting sentenced. If there is solid proof, I would rather see them removed from this Earth.

[xJeremyx]

Hmm. I dunno about that, the death penalty for everything is a little extreme, no?

[AddylynnNightingale]

It's very extreme. But I would rather have that than seeing them being given a second chance at freedom while the victim remains traumatized for life. Victims in a way serve a sentence too.

[xJeremyx]

That is something we cannot change. Victims cannot change the past. Trauma is a given. Healing and recovery is a process to get better, but it leaves scars. Even if the person who hurt them is dead, the scars remain.

So to me it does not make a difference.

You seem to have a compassionate soul and a hatred for injustice. Keep it up.

[AddylynnNightingale]

I know... but we can all have dreams.

[xJeremyx]

Well, we do have to face reality though. As much as I like to dream of a better world with better people.

[xJeremyx]

Dont mind me asking, was someone you know a victim of crime of any sort? It seems like that is a possibility.

Sorry if asking this bothers you. I will not press questions if it makes you uncomfortable.

[AddylynnNightingale]

Yes.
But even if it wasn't the case, people let criminals get away with too much sometimes.

[xJeremyx]

Very true. Some victims are shamed and never believed if they reported, or told their story, and people get wrongfully blamed. The justice system sucks.

[xJeremyx]

If the victim was someone around you, I express my support for them.

If you were the victim, I'm sorry it had to happen to you, and I hope things will be better down the road.

One thing though. Remaining bitter and hating, is only going to make the pain worse, and recover more slowly. The people who are the strongest were those who let go of their traumatic past and did not let it define them.

[AddylynnNightingale]

Well said.

[xJeremyx]

I hope you and your loved ones are better now.

[AddylynnNightingale]

Not really.

[xJeremyx]

😔 I'm here with you.
