The hardest people to deal with are the fragile ones. It feels like you’re trying to navigate a china shop with a backpack and a fishing rod. At any moment, you brace for the crash of shattered porcelain and the inevitable cry of outrage.
If someone's sensitivity is limited to one or two issues, it's manageable. You just remind yourself to steer clear, and that’s that. The wound may never heal, but at least it’s contained. You fence it off, put up a sign, and move on.
But for some, Fragility is their second name. That means you’re doomed to “ruin everything” just by existing in their world. Stay silent in the “wrong” way, and it’s Armageddon.
Such a person is a trap—a snare waiting to spring on everyone.
You can’t help but admire the elegance of how the victim transforms into the hunter. If everyone around you is forever in your debt, no matter what they do, isn’t that the ultimate power?
This Luciferian dominion is all the sweeter because it wears the mask of innocence. The world sees only virtue, never violence. A cunning player can wreak havoc, hunt at will, and never raise suspicion.
“A victim always dreams of switching places with his persecutor,” a wise therapist once told me. And if he dreams of it, he’s only waiting for the right moment to strike.
But revenge is not salvation. It is just dragging another soul into the abyss. Knowing this, the most important thing to resist is the temptation to play the victim.
Every day, fate and people hand us reasons to surrender. They whisper, “See? Nothing depends on you. Let others take the blame. Let them pay the price. You are owed.”
To agree is to hand over your crown to thieves. Because agency—the right to rule your own kingdom—is divine.
Yours sincerely,
