I am sorry, in writing I sometimes have a hard time expressing myself. I like to have pictures(thanks to ai, im able) to articulate myself. Currently, im working on this flaw but at the same time im learning about sovereignty. So if my words seem cringe, understand its viewed like that in my mind. While, you might be more eloquent with words. Try to understand others may not be.
We have all been short changed at one point or another. Would you describe it this way: "I went to the store and bought a cup of coffee for $1 dollar, gave $5 and the cashier did not give me change. The clerk tried to rape me."
Would you describe it this way to your sister or your mom? Is there a metaphorical grain of truth in this statement? Is this the way you see it in your mind?
When I was in high school, I used to refer to after school detention as the "gulag". I would say, "Late to school again and have to go the gulag." I thought it was a funny metaphor. That is until I said it to a Bulgarian friend of mine who sharply rebuked me and said that his grandfather died in a gulag in Siberia. That was the very last time I ever referred to detention as the gulag.
Words matter.
