Cynicism is not directly correlated with wisdom. In your posts around this sub you consistently use that super common tactic to create the appearance of wisdom. I'm not suggesting one way or another whether you do it on purpose/consciously, but regardless, you do it.

It's so much easier to seem naive if you act compassionate. You use that to your advantage constantly in this subreddit. But I guess as these series of downvoted posts implies, it doesn't always convince other people, and perhaps it's more useful to you as a way of continually convincing yourself that you're right. I'm not suggesting that up or downvotes suggest or correlate with correctness, but I am suggesting that you've been wrong many times and yet continued stubbornly to believe only your own opinion on the matter. Which in turn undermines your aggressively outlined claim that OP's friend "lacks perspective." Of course, personal character flaws don't actually effect an argument--only logic does, and in this case your logic is clearly incorrect--anyone can be genuinely traumatized, even if only by the suffering of another. Different people have different levels of empathy, focus on detail, ability to think deeply about an experience others would consider small/avoid thinking deeply about the same, do any of these things without letting it undermine their own mental health.

Let's say for example that someone has the perspective I'm assuming you're talking about--ie, they've seen enough to realize that horrible shit happens and their life isn't so bad after all. What if, instead, another person experiences the same thing and they still don't feel that way? What if they have a super intense sense of empathy, regardless of how much suffering they experience directly or experience vicariously? What if they have that intense empathy but still are capable of achieving "normal high-productivity" things? (I mention this last because a common, flawed response is that if you have too much empathy you'll never be able to function as an adult in the real, scary world) What if...oh dear god...someone has a different reaction to the world than you do, Turk?

Your response to any criticism is also constantly in line with this same philosophy--you don't give two shits about what people say or how people respond to you on this forum (which you continue in/famously to post on all the time). It's a subset of the same tactic--respond with cynical aggression and you seem more correct than the people who "care enough" to waste time responding so seriously to someone on the internet.
