Apologies if my post sounded personal. “I call this: Apologizing for my humanity” I just guess I’m not sure why anyone should apologise for being human?

“I call this: Apologizing for my humanity”

I just guess I’m not sure why anyone should apologise for being human? I’d rather celebrate our humanity and our frailties and accept that there will always be people who try and prey on them. Why should the internet be any different to any other realm in that respect? Just keep your eyes open.

See, here, I'm supposed to be warm-n'fuzzy. I'm supposed to say something which will be my consolation.
