   Someone who has been through a lot in a short span or a period of time and is released back into society or lets say away from the war zone or whatever trauma they were living under, when they readjust to normal life and their adrenaline glands calm is it not weird how all of a sudden a single situation or danger triggers them so badly or they overthink a potential situation and will make it the worse outcome in the world in their minds if they intervene for instance or say anything and it just makes them ball up or quiet up or just not react to say someone robing them or something? I realized this moreso as I was reading this review of a Russian movie called Wielka Poezja or Great Poetry about how these two guys went away from donbas war to become private security and their truck gets robbed. one of them did not suffer ptsd or was able to overcome it and deal with the situation but the other one froze due to the former ptsd and just ould not think.

   You could have summarized all that by just saying "A weak pathetic human"

   Nah I'd wager you've always been a coward. Getting pushed around and turned into a bitch in prison just made it a lot more apparent.

   Some people enjoy it though because they have no one looking down on them like normies to have to deal with and can feel better about themselves by bullying others.

    But they dont see that. To them the jail is their entire world and the politics in there are as important to them as the US presidency.

    They actually think society respects their work. A lot of them become street enforcers when getting out making sure that other drug dealings only go through them and chase sex offenders around. They think by doing that and pointing finger at others it makes them gain social status in the community.

    You can make any perception reality in your mind after all what is truth? Is truth not relative to every person anyway?

    If it's in your mind it's not reality...it's "in your mind".

    But how we dissect reality around us is all subjective to each individual.

    No it's not. You just think it is...thinking is "in your mind"..which again isn't reality.

    WHat is reality though? What is the nature of it? Read Plato on this. There is no ideal objects we can try to imagine the ideal, but it does not exist.

    1. The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.
    
    2. The state or quality of having existence or substance.

    But would Plato and Aristotle agree?
