Is this (part of) me? I don't know...
Sep. 25th, 2003 04:01 amI got this quote - which may be from Triton by Samuel R. Delaney, but I'm not at all sure - from
roadnotes on a totally unrelated topic.
It resonates FAR too much for me to just ignore it...<sigh>
Emotionally lazy?
What's the difference between that and emotionally injured? Emotionally crippled? Emotionally atrophied? Maybe it isn't your fault. Maybe you weren't cuddled enough as a baby. Maybe you simply never had people around to set an example of how to care. Maybe because you quote feel you love me unquote you feel I should take you on as a case. I'm not going to. Because there are other people, some of whom I love and some of whom I don't, who need help too and, when I give it, it seems to accomplish something the results of which I can see. Not to mention things I need help in.
