i tend to think a lot of people are masochists.
a lot of married women put up with terrible abuse from their husbands... in the name of "love" so called... in the name of economic security... I have seen this over and over.
some men are not always terribly abusive until.. honeymoon is over..
And so people get used to be being abused.. not just married women, but, well, sad to say, children who are abused in childhood end up abusing themselves in adulthood... very sad. Sometimes they are not even remotely aware they are abusing themselves (not living up to their potential.. letting others use them as a dormat, etc...). The unconscious is a very interesting thing..
anyway, then we have our national situation... So many people vote for lawless, seflish, amoral narcissistic creeps.. .and then we wonder why things are so messed up..
so, yeh, it looks like most of us tend to be masochists..
