Apologies in advance if this comes across as naïve and none of us knows everything :)
I have a question in this regard: Any of you know the feeling of overwhelming joy tinged with sadness? When something is so beautiful, that it breaks your heart? An expression of child-like innocence that is simply too pure and magnificent to have been expressed against the backdrop of the reality of our modern world?
I'm certain there's a word for this and my feeble search skills, such as they are, failed to turn up anything.
I was kind of hoping there was some oddly-specific word for that precise feeling in a specific context, like the Germans do with "hintergedanken" or "schadenfreude" and that's probably as good a fit as I'm likely to find in English.
The next morning there will be an article about a child having a seizure for eating the entire bag of Cannabis gummies. When in reality the motherly bastard beaten the child in a fit of rage.
The same white instinct that says “it’s ok that you stole my candy” is the same white instinct that says “it’s ok you stole my country, culture, and race”.
