Rochelle, I think you have just described 95% of the human population
I concur. Rochelle I think you are wise beyond your years. I am amazed at the insight your posts show into the human condition. It'a alright if you want to show your darkside sometimes, I for one always give ppl the benefit of the doubt. I never met anyone that's not worth at least that.
That's why, if I sense a core of goodness in a person (especially online since I have much less to lose), that's what I'll focus on the most. I just want to grant others the chance that I once longed to have granted to me. "But what if you end up wasting your efforts?" Yes, that could happen. But what have I really lost? I get to feel good for having done what I believe to be the right thing, and if that person wastes his chance, I never even have to acknowledge his existence again. That's the beauty of the Internet: you can get close and still keep your distance.
Hey Rochelle :)
What an intriguing post! I agree with the others who say it shows great courage to speak so frankly. The quote above puts very eloquently the same feeling I get from the work I do online. Just the thought of helping someone open their mind a tiny crack to let new ideas in is all the incentive I need to keep writing.
You keep writing too. We're all better for reading your work.
