I was taught from a young age that it’s appropriate to be attached to circumstances. Moreover, I was taught which level of attachment was appropriate for each set of circumstances. I was conditioned to feel a certain way when certain events occurred.
For example:
- Death of a loved one = tragedy. Death of a stranger = news.
- Killing a dog = cruelty. Killing a pig = dinner.
- Americans killed = terrorism. Americans killing = heroism.
Current Mood: giggly
