Members j swift Posted January 14 Members Share Posted January 14 (edited) Living here forever, the thing that annoys me about the term “SoCAL Strong”, or any of its predecessors like “Vegas Strong”, or “Philly Strong” is that it tries to be location specific. However, the truth is that most people want to help each other regardless of where they live. It has nothing to do with urban pride. We are just conditioned to think that those around us are dangerous or judgmental by what we see on TV. But, when put to the test, most humans band together for a common cause. Apathy is learned, empathy is natural. Edited January 14 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted January 17 Members Share Posted January 17 (edited) I agree with this. I remember that the idea got popularized with "Boston Strong" after the Boston Marathon bombing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Strong which in some ways, was illogical, since the marathon runners were from all over the world. I briefly lived in the Boston area long ago... I live far far away now. But when I first heard "Boston Strong", it didn't surprise me... it fits with part of the psyche of that city that cannot be explained logically, it just fits the working class locals. I do remember the sweatshirt designers mentioned in the wikipedia article. I think the locals felt that the city had been attacked so they wanted to close ranks, claim strength, etc. --- Nevertheless the marathon runners and family members watching who were injured, they experienced a more compassionate type of Boston Strong energy -- all the medical facilities that gave them whatever care could be given, and all the fundraisers to help.
