Dear Henry,
I thought may be I should send this note to your own E-Mail address given
that we haven't spoken before and perhaps I'm simply splitting hairs.But
then I thought well may be the group could help me sort this out and I also
recall laurie from Montana being put on the defensive with your remarks .
In your posting of 11/18/96 you were responding to a posting from Laurie
who was, as I recall, reflecting on a posting I had made regarding how I
would like to know where people lived.
Amoung your remarks you said that "They are all nice,share the same
feelings,need the same support,can educate all of us etc." You concluded
that "after a while you will probably feel the same"I, For one, certainly
hope not.Perhaps if we were to talk at some length I would come to
understand that I'm taking this posting out of context. But do you know
what I feel when I read your brief note? I feel dead. I lack passion. I'm
no longer an individual with my own unique feelings. Do you feel my pain or
my joy? I hope not. I think not. Because if you do then we don't have any
thing to talk about because we share the same thoughts, the same feelings.
How boring.
I sure that we do share some thoughts and feelings but not every
thought or feeling. I'm unique. One of a kind. They broke the mold when I
stepped out. I don't believe that every one is the same.Nor do we share the
same feelings Do you know there are a few people on this very list that I
do not like and several that I adore and I'm not always able to give you a
rational reason for doing so. I think there are a few people that can't
teach me a single thing. There are others that are not nice people, not at
all.
Today I wrote a longish posting to six individuals. It was maimly
light hearted stuff but I only had some personal knowledge about 2 of them
and only my personal GOd knows that I may well have offended some of them.
I hope they will let me know so that I can learn from the experience or may
be I won't learn.
But don't ask me to turn in what I think is unique about me. I don't
want to be like every one else. I don't care if some people dont think I'm
a nice person as long as a few do.WE are all very unique and that makes us
precious.
Sorry if I caught you off guard. I would not think this would be a good
time for me to encourage you to share your home state or country. Right?
My very best,
