Dear DC:

You are welcome and thank you for your kindness. Your kindness shines through your reply: thanking me, expressing that you value my advice, giving me (too much) credit. All this suggests to me that you are a good person.

“accept that there is so much injustice in our world that I cannot change. This is widely known, yet something in me just cannot accept.. My holding on to this ideal view of the world has perhaps caused me much suffering as you articulated i.e. sleepless nights, ridicule, abuse, etc.“-

– this makes me think of a man looking back in time, holding on to this ideal view of his childhood, but there was some injustice there that needed to be fixed before it could be ideal. The boy is now a man, but something in him, the boy that’s still there, is trying to fix that long ago injustice.

“Why have I just held on to this for so long??“- could the above be an answer, one of a few perhaps?
