In recent days I've gained an appreciation of what Babble can be to those in serious need, but I'm losing that sense again.
Mania, true mania, can destroy families, careers, can bankrupt you, can render you homeless. In just a week or two. I've seen all this happen in my own family. Chamomile tea don't get it. Deep breathing don't cut it.
Watching recent events here I've thought---God, yes! Here's a place where there can be compassion and forgiveness for a soul in the grip of this terrible, rampaging hurricane that can destroy so much in so short a time.
I know it's hard for people who have never experienced or witnessed true mania in loved ones to understand the tornadic, vicious power of this state. All I ask is that you try to reserve judgment a bit, and extend your compassion to the sticking point.
Thank you.
