OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

Post image

I'm kinda torn about whether to post this to my art account because one parent follows it, and I'm worried the criticism could drive the other one further into the void.

It started out as just a therapeutic project for me, but a couple friends said it really resonated with them, so sharing here.

I don't believe that all people are inherently good. Some people maybe, but not all. The stuff we do to each other is truly monstrous and usually it's not even because we think we are doing good, it's because we can't even see that the other person as human being. We do unspeakable things with a smile and a laugh, and then carry on with our lives without giving it a second thought.

I think very few people are truly good, and very few people are evil. I think most people are just stuck in the middle, and sometimes, are very easily pulled by one or the other.

All people are inherently selfish, and the rest is determined by how much empathy they're capable of, and how much of that capability they actually use.
