In reply to anger and grief **suicide trigger** » Sigismund, posted by LlurpsieNoodle on June 9, 2007, at 23:34:40
Lurps, I'm Declan. Don't be angry. I was reading a book which said 'Love must sometimes find its expression in grief, and our sense of the reality of other human beings must sometimes find its expression in remorse.' (Through wrong we have done to them).
I just do not like the managerial language that has spread throughout our culture, and I guess of all degrees, I have least respect for an MBA. And of course I've felt vulnerable. But the language I like about that is the sort of language we find in our books, our good books. So I prefer love, hope, charity, grief and remorse to words like empowerment, enhancement and depression (for example). But it's no big deal, it's just my preference for words that have clear meanings. A lot of words these days (and maybe always?) seem designed to conceal as much as to reveal.
And as for pseudo? I miss him.
