Okie dokie.

I was afraid this would happen.

Honest, everyone. I’m not calling anyone out. My issues are not your issues.

I’m fully aware of the paradoxes in my own mind about this stuff. Nobody needs to offer a solution. I wrote to talk about the paradox, not start a fight or a group therapy session.

This has come up before and I was remiss in remembering the inevitable reaction. If I post something similar next year I’ll get a similar thread filled with defensiveness and hurt feelings.

Honest. This is not about that. I’m sorry it can’t be discussed without the attendant call to arms. I’ll remember next time!
