What they think of you
A careful project of symmetry for divided peoples.
They think you are probably mostly nice people, a few bad apples around. You just made a bad decision or two. You might not have learned right because of where you grew up and who raised you.
They think you probably mean well, but get suckered into supporting loudmouths who exploit you. Those loudmouths seem like really sick human beings.
They are confident that what you are told about them is nowhere near true.
They don't like it when you talk about them, because key parts of what you say are wrong. They don't like to think about the grains of truth those falsehoods are built on.
They wonder what you talk about otherwise, what kind of small talk you make.
They want some of what you have.
They can tell you are scared from your mockery and insults.
They think it might be OK that you are scared of them. It might be safer if you kept your distance.
They think up questions they would like you to ask them, if you were curious. About what they really think about, about what is important, about what is beautiful and worthy in the world.
Well written and presented. I see and recognize my own biases in these words.
This was lovely.
