My mom used to yell at my sister about how she was a doormat. She was verbally abusive to encourage her daughter to be a stronger person. I’m glad you won’t let people walk all over you, Fuzzy. Along with OE, I am also glad to see you using your words more.

OE— Isn’t it ironic that the focus of the horse event was cognitive empathy, but they all turned a blind eye to the struggling bird? It’s like it was a test!

I’ve found you can’t make people care and have empathy if they don’t. If you have something they want, they may fake it.
