    Can’t really agree with you on this one. I would welcome and fight for more people doing the right thing for personal benefit. Seems a lot better than the current circumstances.

      Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, in my experience, backfires more often than not. It’s a dangerous gamble.

        Yes. The only tatoo idea I have for myself involves dice, chains, and the words “Let’s tempt Fate.” While I would prefer an ideal situation, it’s taking too long. I will support any act that brings aid, supplies, or more notoriety to the plight of Gaza. Even Al-Capone had a soup kitchen for the hungry Chicagans of the Great Depression.

          If you want this conflict to end the last thing you want to give it is more noteriety. The only reason this is still happening is because of outside influences.

            Can you please elaborate on that connection from your perspective. I imagine there must be some context I am overlooking.

              All the shouting and “notoriety” just makes it worse. Turns it into a spectacle instead of actually fixing anything. Sometimes, less outside noise is exactly what’s needed for people to sort their own mess out. Wayne Dyer said, “Conflict cannot survive without your participation.”

                Ahh yes, because that solves the bystander effect which is why Kitty Genovese did not die from being stabbed in 1964. Also why the Uvalde police are heros for not participating in that school shooting. /s

                You still haven’t explained any of your reasoning, so I will assume it is in bad faith.

                Finally, your quote is about interpersonal conflict, not violence and murder. Mr. Dyer was a therapist.

                    You saying “In bad faith” = i cant I am not trying to meaningfully disagree with you

                    You can prove it’s in good faith by explaining your resoning. i.e. How is it worse, specifically? How will they possibly “sort their own mess out”?

                    If you don’t want to, that’s fine. Spouting empty platitudes is all I’ve read the past two responses. Any more will be met with shitposts by me to match your energy.
