I guess. Just as long as you really embrace the “move on” part.

It was a mistake I made, so I’m just hoping to help people realize that things get so much easier when you stop caring.

So you’re suggesting apathy in the face of victim-hood?

  • Surely acceptance contains a certain level of neutral emotion. Apathy might be healthier for them than anger, on a historical situation that they can’t bandage. Perhaps they shouldn’t advise apathy, but I see some people move on from some horrific events in a variety of ways, and some of those ways would be marked as unhealthy by pop psychologists. If apathy works for them, who should argue.

    Also: are you suggesting they should look at themselves as a victim? They might be in one sense, but in other senses they might not be.
