when ppl are in pain and need to talk about it they have to reduce the fidelity of their specific anna karenina pain into the closest socially acceptable victim narrative. this reduction is subconscious. the social narrative BECOMES the actual reason to the thinking mind.
that is... the real source of the pain isn't understood. the crutch is readily available and is used due to its convenience. however b/c it doesn't feel fully 'right' the crutch becomes part of the identity and prevents actual healing.
the healing is to ACTUALLY understanding the specific karenina pain unique to self as an individual. anyone who is offended doesn't know WHY they are offended. if they did, that clarity would bring cold analytical precision and thus strip the thought of its emotional content.
"'Those who are easily shocked/offended should be shocked/offended more often." is about confronting ignorance and the unknown.
every act of being offended is someone going "yo, you dropped some shadow." your response shouldn't be "no that's not mine." "i saw it drop out of out." "naw, couldn't be, i'm a Literal Fucking Angel." "r u sure man...cuz u seem pretty angry to me..." "YES I AM!!!"
hoomans are literally made of shadow (original sin) so this lack of ownership is actually a rejection of self. to eat the shadow is to acknowledge the shadow as self and so become it. (vs transmuting it into light b/c then u'd become inhooman)
that is... the path to not being offended isn't to become someone who doesn't get offended but to become someone who doesn't see becoming offended as some sort of Grave Offense b/c of the recognition of shadow.
it's spiky hoomans realizing that to Love is to hurt and be hurt by other spiky hoomans and to do their best to avoid hurting and being hurt but knowing that it's a fundamentally impossible task.
you know the most heroic thing in movies is a Last Stand. where you do something even though you know it's futile? well... life is pretty futile b/c of death. that's an opportunity for life as this same heroic yet futile Act of Defiance which we call Love.
