Begin seeing yourself as a survivor. You were victimized, abused, burnt and beaten, left to the wolves. You did nothing to deserve this - in this life or in the past. That is not the way it works. Stop blaming yourselves. You are a survivor, because you survived.
"Glory and gore go hand in hand."
People will always be people. They will always hurt one another in various ways. You hurt people - yes, you - in various and unintended ways. It is the nature of being alive. The predator must kill the prey in order to survive. Imagine a wild bobcat going hungry to save the birds. Or a spider saying to herself, "I'd rather see the fly live a long, happy life than feed myself today." It just doesn't happen. It's not out of hate or malice, or even really the thrill of battle. It's survival, and this is how it happens.
Use all parts of the buffalo. Let nothing go to waste. Honor the death that gives you life.
There are versions of you that you will never touch again. Love still rotting inside you with nowhere to go. Let it die, show yourself some mercy!
