What if we just
Let people live their lives
As long as
They aren’t doing anything illegal
Or harming anyone

What if we just
Let them go about their days
Let them walk down the street
Without being attacked
And go to the grocery store
Without being murdered.
What if instead
Of glorifying the misdirection of anger outwards
We encouraged everyone
And made it possible for them
To go to therapy

What if we stopped
Using aggression as entertainment
And instead
Celebrated
Inner Peace
And started letting other people
Be left the fuck alone?
What if the solution for internal suffering
Was to figure out how to address one’s own suffering
And learn how to lessen it

And not to just vomit one’s own suffering
Up onto strangers
Which creates ripples of suffering
And then it just spreads?
What if the goal was a decrease
in suffering
And not a re-allocation?
