Damos!
(((((Damos))))) Nice to see you post. I'm sorry you don't have much time to post anymore :-( Sad for you but also sad for me and everyone else who misses out on you :-(
I also wanted to clarify:
>> Why haven't I noticed you are in as much pain as I am? Well actually I have. But I feel selfish. Thank you so much.
>lol. ditto.
Not sure how that came across... I didn't mean to call you selfish... I just meant... I know that when I am really hurting that tends to take over or become me and I find it really very hard to focus on anything outside of myself; that I do feel better at other times, that this shall pass, that other people are hurting too.
I think that that is a normal / typical human response to pain / suffering.
But I didn't mean to imply that you have done / are doing this. Because I don't think you are. I don't think that you are.
But I'm aware that I have been.
But sometimes I really become aware that other people are hurting as much as me...
And knowing that helps. I mean, I feel bad that they are feeling bad. But it is like... One isn't / doesn't have to be alone with the hurt. Sometimes isolation feels like the biggest hurt of all. For me at any rate.
Oh dear... Maybe I'm just digging myself in deeper...
I'm sorry :-(
