dear wendy,
you are not, by any means, an ass.
i like to try to make evryone what i belilve too, but it only rarely works completely...
your over-ability to empathize is a gift....i have to burn my hands on the stove over and over again to teach mysel a lesson and to learn from others. i can only empathize with what i know. (may i tell an anecdote here? i think i will. 3 of my friends were declared "depressed" by our other friends last year, as was i. these 3 , at the same time they were accusing me of being "bored with my life" and "directionles"--i thought they were completely suicidal and dead inside! can we say PROJECTION?
anyway, i don't know where i was going with that. as far as things being better left unsaid, i don't agree with that--not for myself, anyway. i like to bring up the taboo simply because i happen to feel it, i want to know if others do but they're not speaking; out of respect for any survivors of the WTC tragedy who might be reading this, i'm extremely and deeply sorry, but i know that there are countless others left only half-jaw-dropped to the event, and those are my kind, they're the ones i want to hear from, well i want to hear from anyone really, anyone anyone with thoughts on this topic...
you didn't hurt me. i was a bit taken aback by th rebel-like abrasivesness of yr post, but that's WendyB, n'est-ce pas? you're like that, i wouldn't have expected anything else. that you've been so supportive of me in the past bothers me that we differ so greatly on this one topic, but i'm hoping we can chalk it up to--differences in personality? age? proximity?
yr kb,
sar
