Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

I hope that’s more clear.

Ah yes, like food, water, and air—impossible to live without!

Word to the wise: leaving makes space for alternatives that clinging to hinders.
