  • When my wife and I had our first baby, my wife suffered from postpartum depression. A counselor was visiting our home and went through a questionnaire with her. Like statements ‘I am able to laugh and enjoy things’, and ‘I look forward with enjoyment to things’ - she had to rate how strongly she agreed with each. She didn’t agree with much at the time (luckily only lasted a month or two). My mom was visiting at the time and could apparently overhear this. Afterward my mom commented to me ‘even I knew the right answers to those questions’. It hit me then that her generation were just as fucked up but the mentality for them was to just fake it and never admit any problems. The ‘correct’ answer was always to sound like everything was fine.








  • BS. Netanyahu may have encouraged Hamas at some point , but they only continue because they want to hurt Israel and they don’t care about the starving children in Gaza any more than Israel does. Look on these message boards; many people refuse to put any blame on Hamas. Just me suggesting Hamas should surrender evokes responses only about how Isreal is responsible. It seems that the supporters of Gaza don’t want Hamas to surrender - they say they don’t like children starving, but seemingly not so much that they’d like Hamas to surrender. It’s really strange when you think about it.
