10 Dead After Mass Shooting In Buffalo

[Adam 372]

i wonder at times:

this push to "protect" from traumatic, or offensive situations, could it itself have something to do with at least SOME of today's societal violence?

while unpleasant at yes hurtful, situations involving death, loss or opposing/asshole views are part of what shapes us in our adult lives, as seemingly unnecessary perhaps those hard lessons prepare one to at least potentially deal with such concepts a bit more rationally than if we never had to experience them before....almost like muscle memory.

i propose that holding the regents exams, and mandating students eligible sit for them, shows them that the world continues to spin despite the horrors and instead of ignoring, perhaps they can find better ways to prevent/cope with them.
