i hope that you see – no hyperbole – the world would benefit from your end whatever relief you might need from me won’t deliver you from where you’ll be sent what made you think that you could set one over all – damn your intent privileging few because of your ineptitude to be mature thoughtless instinct to save your own, made victims of countless unknown uncaring punk, self-centred snake, you’ll never live down your mistakes what’s more, your acts – beyond the pale – were partisan + personal who made you god? myopic judge, pansophy marred, compassion crushed now – here we are, your luck consumed, my retribution coming soon but don’t expect this to be swift, your death will be quite progressive whatever release you might want from me will not spare you from the where you’ll be sent and i trust that you see – no hyperbole – the world will benefit from your end the way that you stare – beset, prepared – a depositioning you seem to accept just don’t misread this as a misdeed, you’re getting less than what you merit we’re not the same, you’re inhumane, if i back down you’ll do it again are we the same? am i humane? if i back down would you do it again? you don’t know me / i don’t know you “empathy is the feeling that aims at the feeling of another consciousness. this means that empathy involves a felt response to another conscious being, that this feeling is directed towards the feelings of the other (but it may or may not be isomorphic with the other’s feelings…it doesn’t necessarily have to involve the exact same feelings), and that empathy requires maintaining a distinction between self and other. it allows us to experience others as ‘other.’ from a phenomenological perspective, empathy is just a feature of our everyday perceptual life. empathy is an aesthetic feeling, not essentially a moral one. this view highlights the embodied nature of consciousness” – dr. ellie anderson. plot twist: you/we don’t get to rush this
