One thing that saddens me is the extent to which people here are unconsciously showing such possibly hurtful attitudes about the 'rest of the world"-- as if we --and "they"--as human beings didn't share a lot of the same pain, and as if these "other" people were likely to be rubberneckers, voyeurs, somehow not worthy of being aware of our thoughts, or part of "our" community.
We all share even a distrust and anxiety about others-- but I hope that we all can find it in ourselves to remember that we share with these others a lot of the same human experiences, hopes, fears, and losses.
. Bob isn't suggesting that anyone's most private revelations be pasted on their housefront. Who here thinks that we are going to do that to one another? And why is it that we can't feel that this unknown "they" really are "us"--rather than people somehow unable to receive what we have to offer in the spirit in which it was given?
