As all this unravels, I am seeing different patterns.
One that is coming to mind as I notice it grow is, "It's the people who you wouldn't have expected," or "The people doing it are the ones' you'd expect not to be doing this."
Another one I'm finding is, "To keep my sanity these days I have to remind myself that for as long as I can remember, I have been trying to help. As I drown in all the shit and corruption and cruelty."
