Re: This is a confession (non-fandom)

This.

It's one thing to be vindictive, but not like this. If they want to blame the world then they should be blaming the people who made the sacrifices to save their people, but the ones who inflated the problem and caused more harm for them and everyone else.

Nowhere is safe nor free from the virus, and being angry at the people who took precautions is beyond petty and not even in the realm of 'there are two types of people'. Just that of I am am especially shitty type of person, really.

Sorry.

To be fair, feelings are feelings, even if others don't agree with those feelings. OP already said they KNOW taking that stance is wrong, and that they wouldn't give into those feelings even if they had the power to.

Yes, I know everything OP said is awful and I completely disagree with it. But I don't think feeling resentment makes someone a shitty person, even if that resentment is aimed at the wrong people.

I want to be compassionate, but at what point do we stop with the “all feelings are valid” train and switch to “maybe you should try to modulate some of these feelings”? Isn’t letting emotions running unchecked a big part of this mess?

If in your heart of heart you’re wishing death and disease on whole-ass nations because they have the audacity to “remain pristine” (fuck does that have even mean?), I think that point has been reached.

ayrt

You have a good point- and I do apologize as today is not the best of days for me and my emotions are running wild. But at the same time I do feel the need to ask, that while everyone is essentially condemned by their emotions, to what exactly is the extent of forgiveness in that?

OP stated that they knew that wishing other more well maintained countries should take in the sick of others was unrealistic and wrong. They never said anything about the mindset that being resentful of those countries based simply by the fact they were more responsible about this plague than their own was wrong also.
Albeit it may just be their phrasing, but by comparing their view to the phrase of 'there are two types of people' it implies that both opinions are in some way right or understandable. And while OP definitely falls into the more pessimistic side of the equation, between blaming the world for such a pandemic and focusing their anger to the point of expecting other countries/people to fix the mistakes made by others completely out of their jurisdiction even at risk of themselves, OP falls on the very far side of that opinion.

At what point does someone's thoughts, actions, and opinions define them as a person. There's a certain point of ignorance and fury that, I think, goes into the mindset of specifically resenting the people who have done all they could to protect themselves simply because they believe they succeeded. Being angry at the world is an emotion, but picking and choosing who they vindicate is a decision.
