Help, you see where all this has gone?
I'd like to apologize and say I don't mean to make light of your feelings, but having been there and beyond most often the only saving grace is realizing the absolute absurdity of your situation. My life has taken a sudden and somewhat unexpected plunge into hell in the last week, the paranoia is creeping in that its not the rest of the world but, rather, it truly is me who doesn't fit and that the pain and despair and betrayal I've experienced is all well-deserved.
The only thing I can of think at that moment, besides wondering how cool it would be to take a flying leap off the top of the World Trade Center, is how patently absurd this conspiracy theory is. Shit happens. Preferably, there would be a uniform distribution of it throught the population, but it just ain't so. I doubt it's random. But, for me, the only way to avoid it happening is to maneuver yourself above all the sphincters pointed your way. Again, the best way for me to start that process is a good laugh at what's been messing with me.
So, Help, I wish you these things:
1) That you feel welcome with the response that you've received.
2) That you know that even though we've never seen your face nor heard your voice -- all the same, you are our friend.
3) That you've been at least distracted, and preferably laughing as we slide from Why? to semiotics to word games and hermeneutics to misquoting Brits to "the Tao that can be told is not the Eternal Tao". That last bit is my best answer to Why? You can say what you want, but it will never be enough.So laugh at it instead,
No, I mean laugh like you MEAN it.
