I am still angry with the owners of WWASP for what they did to me. I will never forget it, but one day I will be able to forgive. Not because I did anything wrong, but I will be able to allow Dharma (karma) to take over and deal out whatever consequences it feels necessary.
Anger is an acceptable feeling, the method of dealing with it is what really matters. I have to deal with my anger in a way which does not hurt others. If I play some video games to vent, then nothing which actually exists is hurt or destroyed.
I understand that every survivor is angry. They were betrayed by their parents, lied to by some escorts, taken to an abusive place (maybe a foreign country) and tormented physically, emotionally, and mentally. I was there with some of you, and I understand what everyone else went through.
Having anger about your time there is no excuse to act irrationally or without restraint. The best way that WWASP and NATSAP and all these other horrendous places have kept us silent is by labeling us a bunch of bitter kids because someone tried to teach us discipline.
NEWS FLASH: I like discipline, I dislike the abuse you put me through.
I have sat in a guard tower with 60 lbs. of gear, in Iraq, with 125 degress of sunlight pounding down on me for 6 HOURS! I have carried 60 lbs. on my back for 13 miles ruck marches. I have run half-marathons with 2 weeks of preparation.
Casa by the Sea was still worse.

ReplyDeleteWe can't rely on karma. If we merely assume that they will get what they deserve, then they will not. They will only get what they deserve if we give it to them.
ReplyDeleteWe, as survivors, are not in a place to enact or enforce justice. We should only speak to what happened to us. Life is not a movie, and no matter how good it would feel to go vigilante on them, nothing good would come out of such a choice.
