TO: No one in particular

Face facts: Men are nothing but horn-dogs, and women only want men for their money. Equations prove: No one ever does anyone a favor unless there's something in it for them. Accept the data: People are just bloodthirsty apes with a flair for spin. We're deluded puppets of our genes, and our genes like us deluded. We have met the enemy and it is our DNA.

Well, it could have become an emotional scar because it seemed so ugly to me. Instead I learned to be thankful for the extra years of life, wear skimpy bathing suits if I like, and don't give a damn. And because I don't give a damn, my lovers over the years haven't either.

As for the emotional and psychic scars, I find I can use them to hear other people's problems and hurts more clearly and help them with more than bromides. They know I've been in similar pain and survived so I can give them support and hope.

And I find the post immediately preceding this saddening.
