The people who are soft and fragile are the ones who scream the loudest at uncomfortable situations. It’s a strange thing - the excessive coddling those in the millennial generation have undergone. It’s incredibly dangerous and damaging to society as a whole with so many people being quite frankly fragile pussies.
I think there’s also the unfortunate culture to cater to these child-adults. Thankfully a lot more people are standing up and refusing to apologize for being offensive or provocative. It’s really important that we are able to challenge ourselves and our culture so that we can strengthen ourselves and our society. Hiding our eyes at the slightest offense and having a breakdown is a symptom of a bad sickness more than it is any type of “progress”.
I think this type of thing is the same shoe of censorship that is being pushed in other aspects of society. It all leads to societal breakdown and Marxist type results. We have to be able to challenge ourselves, our perspectives and our preconceived notions in order to determine what’s really good, bad and can be changed.
I’m not an art person much or plays but I do appreciate how it can be provocative. I simply don’t have the time or bandwidth in my life to participate in any of it. I think that’s also a problem but a topic for another day.
Good thought provoking post, thanks for putting it in the community here :D
Amen. I went through a brief phase of screaming at things but thankfully caught myself before it got too bad. I'm very careful now, asking is this really upsetting, if so what part have I played in this situation, and am I mostly just being a bit of a crybaby? It's very necessary against this echo of "your truth is the only thing that matters, queen" :)
Constantly, but it's hard. And can lead to conflict often. And loneliness, being open always to a new perspective and amending when you were wrong. It seems a lot of people go through life acquiring friends/partners that they hope will never change. How odd.
What a curious way to phrase it! Would love to hear about that topic...someday :)
