I totally get it. The problem is that since we're dealing with a somewhat non-physical threat the problem isn't alleviated by just killing 'agents', and trust me, there are a lot. Not saying it wouldn't be satisfying, but ultimately ineffectual in doing any real harm to these forces.
It is true that not hating them won't 'defeat' them, but maybe it will give you your attention long enough to do something useful? I mean if you really think physical revenge is all you want and need, have at'er, but I think you could be a whole lot more devestating if you thought a little more outside the box.
Also I didn't mean being hateful is self-mutilating, I'm talking about that sado-masochistic streak a mile wide. Although maybe I misperceive, forgive me if so.
Killing a few specific ones would make me feel better and send the right message. I have some idea of who's behind the things that really screwed me up.
Anyways, I don't feel like every "agent" has been out to get me; some have even tried to help me in some fashion or another. But some of them are sadistic bullies who wrecked things for me just because they could, and those are the ones I'm concerned about.
Sure, but I feel like some of them try to get me to perform acts of "non-physical revenge" as a way to get me playing their game and even aid whatever it is they're trying to accomplish in the long run. I think they try to use emotional trauma as a way to catapult people into behaving a pre-planned way. If I'm going to disrupt their plans, I'm going to disrupt them,, not play right into them.
You misperceive.
