> See, I don't think it's "compelled." I think it's because of the talent, I think that's what a gift is. Okay, it's a hell of a curse, for a gift, but it is a gift. To be able to look into the abyss that exists for every damn person alive and to rehash its contents into something funny and interesting so other people can bear it. You know what I mean?
> ZoThanks for the post, and for the point of light, Zo. Maybe therapy isn't for everyone, but even sitting, reflecting, lighting a candle, talking to a friend, that to me is all kinda like therapy. I know that catharsis has both good and bad points, and has to be used the right way, but I don't want to wait until I am on a table (IF that is where I AM!..touch wood, I guess..heh), dying, making last minute apologies for a ZILLION things, when so much could have been done so long ago.
Anyhow..just my .02 cents.
