Laughs and Lobotomies

I think many people go to therapy to dull the slow ache inside of them.  Or to gather up lots of things to stuff into the emptiness.  To feel better about themselves somehow.  To be the best version of themselves – for themselves.  People work on themselves to feel better, to hurt less.

How many people work on themselves to put a little less hurt into the world?  How many look inside and say, the things others have done to me, I want to make sure I don’t do them to anyone else?

I can’t cause this pain to another.

I think we are mostly selfish.

Maybe that is the problem.
