When I was leaving the editorial staff room today, someone had left a note on the door with my name and the initials of a nationalist party I'd once worked for. Simple psychology: if you don't have guts to directly attack someone, you do it indirectly so that no one notices you're the aggressor.
My first instinct was to tear it off and go home. Then I thought about it: obviously a very sad and bitter person put this up. Someone who is afraid of what I am and what I represent. Yet, I could not force myself to feel any hate. I just don't have any bitterness left for such people anymore. I left the note on the door and walked out.
I truly believe that if you understand and apply the philosophy we talk about on Corrupt, you will be able to set yourself free. Free from guilt, remorse, bitterness and other emotions dragging your life down. It's about recognizing what you can do to improve your life, not how you can attack someone else in order to feel good. Our enemy is within ourselves. Break free!
