Vileness without any meaning! That resonated with me. Perhaps that era of film prepared the way for our current state of existence.

Really thought provoking! Thank you. 👏 Speaking just for myself, I always found a good line being “processing” the emotions and “acting” on them. I do have/had the emotions of wanting revenge, but I give myself the okay for feeling those emotions. Once they’re processed, I can more easily let them go before ever believing acting on them would be to anyone’s benefit. So it’s kind of the recognition that I’m not a robot and feel things, and then saying “okay, but acting on them doesn’t help anything”. Revenge usually wouldn’t change my own outcome to the good anyway, it would just keep me stuck.😊

Good topic, thanks for writing about it.
