I submitted my "Lost Seeking Lost" post looking for sympathy.
My current status was presented as misinterpreted, and I wanted warmth and understanding.
There were some outstanding replies. Croc's canoe, X's and CB thoughtful analyses. (JFQ even got me sort of worked up with his thoughts of an ideal match/mate.)
But, on the overall, there was no sympathy! There were suggested behavioral modifications - to change my status, not to acknowledge its current pitiable condition. There were none of mama's "I see, honey. It's all right."
One time, and one time only, did I bow and cozy up to fellow humans. It was at a rush party for Lincoln's Inn at Harvard Law School. I did all the proper, polite, and political 3d things in the book. And got accepted, by phone later in the evening. But, the slime of snivelling and scraping stayed on my skin for days, if not years.
I Yam What I Yam. And would have appreciated more consideration on your parts for the finality of that statement. And, in a mini-fashion, the tragedy.
I have come to a Croc realization...so I will just push Submit. |
