The collective over the individual, where does responsibility belong?

You and I made it THROUGH without ACTING on it. Dylan didn't I believe ,HE was lost in it,because he had NO context and at HIS age it was taken as normal.

I remember when I decided to let it go, the hot wet stuff wasn't sorrow or self, it was relief for letting IT go, but Life stepped in (I think because I asked, and I have never felt that harrowing, so strong again) if there is a wheel and it/we come around then Dylan and all the others deserve a better context, my major beef, I'm not coming back decided

DANG memory.... I put a 1911 to my head from loneliness and anger at the world,but a voice like a DRILL SGT ordered me to stop it and quit being a puss. So I DID act ....and QUIT. It sounded Ermey to me or it was an AUDITORY hallucination but IT happened.

I've heard my name called at the strangest times, useful and wasteful, GlAD to share this convo cavtrooper7 all considered

@ OP:

Yes, thanks. We understand each other. Therefore, please retract what you said about controlling our thoughts and our emotions.....
because we can only do that cognitively. It does not happen automatically.

Likewise with actions. We can learn to ignore impulses and thereby not 'act' on our impulses. But ultimately, our ACTIONS are the only thing that impacts other people.
