When it comes to human-human interactions , nothing is substantial until it is substantiated.

Do it! Fucking prove me wrong!

It doesnt matter what you say or think about a person until you or someone else does that thing to them or someone associated to them.

As in if you tell someone youre gonna punch them till theyre broke in half pieces everyday, if you shake their hand, siit beside them and work quietly beside them for 8 hours everyday for the next 60 years then thatt proves thatt your statement about ''pUnCh ThEm TiLl ThEyRr bRoKe iN hAlf' is completely useless ...cause you neverr did it when you clearly had the chance to.

Words and thoughts that you have about other people are completely useless always have been, and always will be. Only your ACTIONS towards other people matter.

So... your point is basically: "If someone threatens to punch you, you're not punched yet. Only if and when they punch you, will you actually have been punched. An idle threat means literally nothing."

If true, I disagree. A not-as-of-yet-realised threat is different in quality from the (perceived) lack of a threat, as the recipient now has to consider the eventual occurrence of said threat and would adjust their decisions accordingly.

Calling the bluff, or fucking around to find out, are different to not having a care in the world.

In conclusion: FUCKIN' QED 😜

"That thing" being "making hot cocoa for them before gently carrying them to bed and tucking them in and reading them a story until they fall asleep"?

Okay. Great hypothetical, now where in reality does this apply?

There's also all these people who say 'I hate XYZ ceo' or 'I hate XYZ politician' or 'I hate XYZ billionaire' ...and.... nothing happens to these people they supposedly hate....

Yes, and? Why would anything happen just because someone says they don't like someone?
