I'm sick of trying to deal with it. Fuck it, move on. Life's not fair. I don't want to be like everyone else, I'm not like everyone else. Mankind is never satisfied, so quit bitching and complaining about it. I don't have a guy, I don't care I don't a guy. I have a cat, that's all I need babe. You have to live. Worrying will get you jack. Sorry for just going off, it's time we live'n up this freakn' board. Denouncing is all well and good if it helps us to become more objective and deal with being oversensitive and easily hurt by others. But I believe there is a catch--there is a danger of becoming self-righteous about whatever you're denouncing, and having a feeling of superiority because of the way you think or feel. "My ideas are better than yours, so I'm superior." This quickly turns to anger, and closes your mind and heart. And what's worst is when we realize that at least some of the anger is directed at ourselves. So denounce things if you must--there are certainly different and maybe even "wrong" ideas out there and we shouldn't have to agree with everyone out of fear. We have to be true to ourselves and our beliefs. But we should try to do so with openness and understanding. Otherwise we're no better than any other hard-nosed person, and we 4's know deep down that we're better than that. :-) - Hal -
