While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. 🙁
There’s a degree of sense to this. If perpetrators of evil see no repercussions for their actions, more evil is encouraged.
In the absence of an external justice system, the act (and threat) of vengeance is what keeps society functioning. In such a situation, if someone violates the social norms, harming you or your friends, it is indeed necessary that you act, especially if this comes at great cost to you.
OTOH, if the subject of said revenge also remained a threat to myself and others, then I could see a sense of duty coming into play.
