Thanks for this raw exposé, writing words to voice my own soul's groanings about what it means to be human on this planet right now. Also, a thought:

"Yes, there seems to be an instinct to seek safety through harm; it’s an instinct that seems more entrenched the closer we get to the reins of power and privilege and the attendant ability to deliver either abundance or harm, but which we can see expressed by those who exist most directly in harm’s path, too." I'm hearing echoes of Girard here and the inescapability of mimetic rivalry and the founding murder of the world that continues to reverberate in the myth of redemptive violence.
