I try to diffuse it. I try to remember that what I am reading are words within a program. That program is not to be trusted. Because if it isnāt open source, and itās free, itās there to manipulate you. These are things that drive me to play with, rather than play in environments.

Suffering is universal. Why isnāt compassion equally universal?
I think itās because we have choice, and I hope Iām getting it right.
