I am truely touched that so many of you feel as I do at times.... I now feel the same way Somebody does - like its not an ususual thing - but a "Normal" thing we all go through.
I always try to remember a saying I've come to like :
"Freinds are those who know all of your faults - and still like you"
I think of that often.
JoelBear - I know what you mean about being supersensitive to any critisism, I never was like that prior to my involvement to the Borg. But now I feel its due to the fact that I was trying to "buy my way into the "new System" by working at what the society said to but never reaching the high level of comitment they put on us. We always had to do more than we were - that is such an unfair practice!
I feel that God Accepts us the way we are and wants us to be the nicest person we can be. The idea of working to atain the "prize" is almost like the Roman practice of sacrificing to the God and expecting somethig in return. Funny how a pagan Practice is being activly practiced by those who claim they are not doing anything pagan??
Peace to all
