Yeah--I goofed again--not my first time!
Sorry--I figured out the intricacies of the "Optional Email" blank space--you put your email there, and ANY response to that post triggers your email, if that's how you set it, and I did.
My bad--I should have read the "Posted By" and "In Reply To' addresses more carefully. You STILL did it in an oblique and rude manner; though.
Let's try A--B conversations, and THEN A--B--C conversations, accompanied by rules of etiquette, civility, manliness, etc., shall we? :-) No butting in or insulting, like a little girly-man!!! (Arnold voice)
Do you have ANY sense of humor; dry OR otherwise?
If we elimnate all possibilities except "purposely rude, culturally inept and mean-spirited", on your part, Occam's Razor leaves that as the only probability--so, you're not ray--and/or is your "Shift" button broken? :-). Hmmm.
Please read Farmer's (and my) response to you. He's unflappable and wise; IMO.
I am trying.
At this time, I can only agree with Becky (see above--she thinks you're lonely and need a friend).
I wish you only the best, on your "Journey"--please open up to SOMEBODY--spiritual "eavesdropping" really isn't all that cool; as Farmer is trying so elaborately to hint. Really.
The cultural expectation, or "contract", if you will (or even if you won't :-) )is quid pro quo. You "take" the reading of other people's painful and private lives, and you are expected in turn to "give".
It's really not that hard. A protracted inability to do so implies alot of bad/sick/wounded/pathological things about you; mostly inability to trust, with an attendant arrogance, producing a LOT of loneliness, and a projection of one's own faults upon others--been there; done that, got the T-shirt.
Get better her, by sharing, or at least get help somewhere; OK? I had to. For me it took putting a .38 to my heart, and having my thumb slip off, and NOT trying the second time because God's Spirit really did show up. Don't get THAT lonely; OK?
Got to go!
