Internalisation

I've spent a good proportion of the last day and a bit feeling, at least intermittently, angry and frustrated. The 'seeds' were two news stories from yesterday, and, on reflection, I think I know why. Because either of the stories could have featured me as the 'bad guy'. One, the 'just the wrong side of legal' story, elicited most of the frustration, but the other, very, very much darker case, the horrible, unconscionable violation of a young person, has caused most of the anger. Anger directed almost totally within. Because I can't convince myself that I would never do something comparably appalling, if the wrong set of circumstances arose. The knowledge of 'the darkness within' is indescribably difficult to live with.

Love & best wishes to all
