People you dislike often represent a characteristic about yourself that you don't like. I think it's called projection. It's easier to see these characteristics in others than in yourself.

Accept that fact so (i) you have no reason to waste mental space disliking that person and (ii) you use it as a learning experience on how to better yourself.

Very interesting. In psychology, projection is a mental process by which people attribute to others what is in their own minds. It is a type of defense mechanism that occurs when a person unconsciously projects their feelings, behaviors, or thoughts onto someone else.

Interesting, never thought about it like that. I should try noticing that more. Thanks

I don't have a problem with gays. I have a problem with anyone who votes left because leftists deserve to die.

update: I think you are confused by my use of 'faggot'. I have to use that word since too many people would be offended by my use of the N word

Is that why you were so indifferent when D Trump was shot and almost assassinated?

I guess?

Reality has kinda become a stream of random pieces of news that make me feel like they matter, but a day after, it already feels so far away. I observed the same thing with the martial law news here. He's in prison now. Yet, nothing really mattered in the end, at least for the impact it has on my daily life.

Maybe that's just a symptom of getting older and more cynical?

Martial law lasted for 6 hours.

He is in prison w/o any due process.

South Korea is reverting to its banana republic roots.
