you haven’t seen a predator in years, if ever. surely there’s predators and you’re not looking hard enough!
Depending on your skin color, the predators are more like parasites. End result is the same, one just gets there faster.
Every day I wake up to a screaming alarm that triggers my fight or flight response, being forced against my will to prepare for work commute keep me locked into fight or flight, being forced to interact with customers against my will keeps me in fight or flight all day.
When I get home at the end of the day is the first time each day my brain chemicals can stablize and I can calm down.
Then the depression sets in.
We live in hell and I don’t blame anyone for how they react to it. The stress caused by this system we voluntarily set up is enough we should expect almost everyone who isnt a psychopath to kill themselves or someone else as a natural response to the stress.
