Cruelty
Dear Dyke Whisperer, Why are women so cruel? I have just been scorched HARD by a beautiful, evil woman.
Burned in Boston
Dear Burned,
People have a remarkable capability for cruelty, not just women. It sounds like you need to spend some time healing. Remember this, although it won’t help you much right now: the cruelty you have absorbed has the ability to make you appreciate kind and compassionate women even more.
I’ve never met a woman who wasn’t burned in at least one love affair, usually there are several romantic torchings to endure through life. You won’t believe me now, but the pain won’t last forever.
People are cruel because they are indulging their selfish and/or disturbed impulses. Sometimes they realize this character flaw and change; sometimes they just continue to inflict pain. Sometimes, when we’re hurt, we want to lash out or cause pain. Don’t fall into this dark space.
Cry, heal, and go on with your life at your pace.
