"You should be at the club". You're absolutely right. If by "the club" you mean the Jacobin Club.

I should be at the gallery, listening to the speeches and cheering on the Montagnards.

Honestly? I really dislike "You don't owe anyone [xyz]" type mentalities. They are not as kind to yourself as they frame themselves to be in my opinion. Especially because, philosophically speaking, we do owe each other a lot.

How is anyone going to be kind to you if everyone believes they don't owe anyone kindness? Why is kindness transactional? Why are you coveting it as though it were a limited resource? If you don't owe anyone kindness, how are you genuinely kind to yourself?

I know saying "You don't owe anyone [xyz]" is angled as a form of self-protection, but is it really?

Yes, getting hurt is painful but there is no world in which getting hurt is avoidable. Getting hurt and feeling pain is part of our lives. You can either avoid it as much as possible and atrophy the skills you need to take care of yourself when it inevitably happens - or - you can embrace the fact that you will get injured, learn how to take care of yourself in response, and be kind in spite of the fact that someone may try to use it against you, because if you're confident and sure in your actions? They really can't turn it back on you in a way that is meaningful.

So like... Yes I think it's a really useful thing to learn that you don't need to self sacrifice for others. You don't need to allow others to walk over you. You are allowed to set firm and clear boundaries. But that doesn't mean you don't owe anything to anyone. We all owe each other a lot.
