WISDOM BITS - society doesn't care about hurting your feelings, it just wants you in a mental cage

If people around you do things so that they don't hurt your feelings, well, that's more like keeping you in a cage than keeping you safe. Being kept safe is kind of the same thing as with being kept in a cage. And the bird that gets used to the cage thinks that flying is a disease. You are supposed to deal with people who are toxic and learn to not invest emotionally into them, else you will live as a slave of your emotions. Because, if you don't get used to the toxicity of this ignorant society... well, everything will become interpretable as "wanting to hurt you". And when everything hurts you... pain will be your only guide. And only after having suffered enough will you want to break out of that comfort zone. You comfort zone is your graveyard, because stagnation is the cousin of death.
