That is not dealing with them. Ending up at your quote's whole point.

Apathy to those who lack empathy is not a solution. In reality it is a tendril of the problem. The sake of mental health is not a constant, action is required if empathy is to win. How else do you constantly demonstrate for others to learn, to envy, and to bear witness?

Interact with those who deem you nothing and be more than they can. Let their hatred fester but let it be in your presence as you leave them in awe.

I am happy that you can see my words true. I do not disagree with you, inherently I believe in you. However I believe each phase and part must be scrutinized.

The end of your statement was my goal exactly. The people are the worth, the matter, and the potential. I wish just to see my fellow laborers compensated properly. I do not see this inherent fear everywhere, but I do see it where I reside.

Each link in a chain must be considered and I wish all to heed caution, not fear. Understand the dangers and go forth among the fire knowing it will not harm. This is my hope, give warning but not fear.

Fear causes distrust, knowledge creates precaution. One does not imply the other. Distrust is volatile and malleable. Precaution is annoying but worthwhile, time and time again. The people have a duty to govern their government, we have seen a great lapse and cracks spreading forth in most nations. Empathy, love, and kindness must win above all. For if not, beauty will be only external and much will be lost.

Ah, the disconnect from the material actions and the immaterial consequence. Such a place to get lost in. I fear sadly the world is more lost by the people who do act with intentionality. Just not all act with good faith, nor with full conciousness. It is not their fault our inherent society allows such nature to proliferate, it is just sadness from which we must make beauty. i wish the world to know how to pull from the nothing, something more.

Your words are kind and sweet. Thank you.

It does always come down to want as cause for any suffering.

It fills me to the brim to know you can see the way your cup fills at the marvel of our stars, at the patience within your meditation.

Relationships like this can be draining because you wish to compensate or match somehow. So it creates almost a directionless frustration of inadequacy.

It is how I felt when my love would work 2 jobs and I had so much time and couldn't really do chores because of my upbringing. Making it a threshold I had to cross as an adult.

He took an old car. Modernized it. Hence making something old and sustaining it into modernity.

To answer your question, yes, they are draining.

Why? Well you are living with another, who was not raised like you, live like you, or grew like you. Completely different and in each of these minutiae of differences you can find issues. Essentially it works in tandem with expectations and why they are still wanted.

It gives you emotional comfort, it gives you physical comfort, and above all else you start to form a union. Something so uniquely both of you that you have changed and so have they, in ways you couldn't imagine alone. You no longer feel isolated in your mind.

It is your parent and your child. Someone you will care for, and someone who will care for you. It keeps you grounded from flying to high, keeps your mind to consider someone before yourself.

The benefit is the world becoming dominable, while nothing has really changed. A partner is a helicopter parent because you tell them who you are and what you want, they just remind you of your own expectations and keep you faithful to it.

They are just a mirror of your own wants, needs, and wishes. So it is your own actions and words that will reflect.

If it is draining, it is because you have not interacted enough with the world to realize you are always being drained. Finding something of meaning to pour into becomes fantastically magical. Suddenly you are no longer drained, it is a willful action to pour and be captured by a vessel of your choosing.

The hate was you focusing on the profiteers, and want was you focused on consumers. However the product must go from a to b. Then b to c. Etc. Workers are a key aspect of this process and most people ignore this.

Chocolate in mexico does have deep indigenous and historical roots. However this is not why it's so big, it's massive due to a bunch of exploitation of the region. It's why Mexico has only sorta been at peace since the 1980s. I have studied greatly how white supremacists funded some of our state conflicts. Literally the KKK.

Anyways, you are too focused on the chocolate example when I never really talked about it. All I am saying is this is good, however I can also see it growing corrupt by forfeiting too much to the governance. Going back around from one capitalist structure to the next. State efforts to counteract start one way, I am saying they always end the same. Power corrupts.

Anyways, my point is the people will rise if they are suppressed. What goes up must come down, as above so below.

However, you have too much faith in governance, for yours has not taken from you humanity.

Thank you for joining me in the conceited side for thinking your point is more correct.

They work in tandem, but no one who is good can agree on what is good. Only on what is bad.

I never said they are a bad thing. I am saying it is forfeiting a lot to the governance - seizing the means of production to them.

The bengali famine was a multifaceted issue, however primarily it was the contracts and forced control of the British. In which they withhold food availability for war time embargos along with a focus on textile farming. All the contractees then essentially focused on money rather than food, as that was the profit of a contract.
