That is actually a rather accurate analogy.

They always leave, when they get what they want at your expense.

“A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl.” -Stephan Hoeller

That seems a "convenient" excuse to think nothing of child-molestation. & it is not true, either. Wounds sustained as children can rob us of some very sacred, precious potential we could never get back. What good is a world that refuses to accept children without deliberately harming them?

So, if I want to help lead the world into becoming a place into which it is relatively, realistically safe for children to be born after having gotten harmed by it since I was a hapless, defenseless infant, you're denying that "pearl" could possibly be any good since you obviously demand a world

that remorselessly harms children because you compare human beings to oysters & child-molestation to the grains of sand on the ocean floor & you obviously want to keep child-molestation so prevalent since you claim the child-molestation to be what made some of us "special" & "beautiful?"

Hey, can you go ahead & never promote that blatant child-molestation culture quote ever again & stop spreading around such violently victim-blaming, thoughtless, shocklingly inappropriate, irrational nonsense? That is obviously not how humans are.

Someone can be beautiful despite our scars, but the healing & strength are what is beautiful. Getting molested & terrorized since I was a hapless, defenseless infant in a country in which child-molestation is basically prescribed & demanded has destroyed & cursed me & violently prevented

me from productivity & artistic pursuits. Arbitrary forgiveness enables child-molestation, genocide, & other atrocity. The resolution not to forgive deliberate, remorseless abuse is often far more effective at resolving grief than forgiving & thus persistently endorsing unconscionable violations.

Frighteningly like every damn time I confided in someone. People wonder why introverts keep to themselves. This explains things perfectly. Thanks.
