    Your lit teacher had a lot of discussions with your parents, eh?

    Not even a single word above you is a justification, any more than advocating for fire safety regulations is justifying wildfires.

    You wanna try reading it again? Take it slow, sound out the words?

      It’s frustrating when people can’t tell the difference between justification and understanding…

      Is it right, justifiable, excusable? No.

      But I can understand being in such a place mentally where you don’t think or care about others pain, you’re simply enveloped in your own struggle.

      People make really really poor decisions when backed far enough into a corner. If they can’t see an exit, they’ll make their own. That’s often far messier than it had to be.
