Why do people never learn anything until they either hurt themselves or someone dies... even when it's painfully obvious that you're harming yourself or other? Where is the logic in that?
"...even when it's painfully obvious that you're harming yourself or other?"
the depressed kid's answer: Sometimes you feel like you deserve the pain you're giving yourself. And sometimes you don't feel like you're important enough or deserving of other people. So you don't realize that you're hurting them because you just cannot believe you could be that close to someone's heart to affect them the way you do.
the selfish, and possibly "normal" kid's answer: I guess there are just some people who don't give a shit because whatever they're doing is somehow "worth" the harm they're causing themselves and others. Or maybe they're too wrapped up in their own life to realize that they're hurting another person.
"Where is the logic in that?" The problem here is that you're talking about emotional knowledge and growth, and there's nothing logical about that. Emotions have no logic, they just are. You are the only person in the whole world who will ever completely understand yourself. Just like I am the only person who will ever understand
