Dark,>Heavy down pour. liked the quotes. I am not all empirical. I won't congrue with the ignorant part though. The rude and thoughtless, maybe. and for that I was wrong especially if it grated already chared feelings. But 4 the ignorant; I do have an educated and thought out opinion, perhaps wrong, but not sprayed thoughtlessness. I believe emotions and the inner workings of our Body can replace and hide much hurt and pain, whether of the physical or mental. Maybe you too have remnants of the Borg insidiously finding its way out into the world. R u like captain Bicard?
To the rest, is it easier to attack the doubter then the doubt, or is it easier only when you can't attack the doubt. Really maybe we should find the beauty in this life. "Trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side, and you dear is all I see" 3.14
