Goodness me, you're hurting girl.
We need love and harmony in our every day lives and to look for the positives, I see two while you only look for one. As for trust, I trust at face value, open and trusting until it's necessary, to change my thought processes, why be cynical?Yes it makes you an easy mark, but not everyone are bastards.
As for slaves, and slave owners, we the Celtic nations were the first slaves, TO GO TO AFRICA, and plantations in the new world, long before Africans became slaves to plantations. The Scottish clearances! Whole families, sold into slavery or bonded, if you weren't murdered, or picked out for special treatment, hung drawn and quartered. The forced starvation in Ireland by Westminster, and six million dead Irish people, who starved to death, the Irish, you have a right to detest the English, but we cannot blame those living today for the actions of there ancestors.
Life has a price, be it in the womb, or caring for it, either way, you cannot abdicate your responsibility or its existence, by denial!
I have six children, and I exist for them, and their mothers, it's a wonderful privilage, and one should never miss or deny oneself of such a blessing, unless physically denied. We are all different, but we're all the same.
