I didn't really talk about how things are different in different places, but that's true also. I can't help but to wonder what the ever expanding influence of internet will have. <br /> I sorely wish I had some words to give you comfort. I do understand you; you are not alone.<br />Be strong and remember your priorities. <br /> Hugs to you- -randy.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-36389335047275541232010-08-21T16:16:45.061-07:002010-08-21T16:16:45.061-07:00Hello Randy
A very interesting post, particularly,...Hello Randy<br />A very interesting post, particularly, from my perspective, in your comments about 'normality' varying across time and dependant upon place. My predilections would have been considered perfectly 'normal' in, for example, Ancient Greece, but in the modern UK, are seen as 'abnormal and sick'.<br />Definitions of normal often seem to boil down to some banal 'lowest common denominator', but it's difficult to try to operate outside what passes for 'normality', because you immediately set yourself up as a target for the (usually self-appointed) arbiters of that normality. Putting your head above the parapet, especially if, as I do, you have family responsibilities, takes more courage than I possess, even though I find living in 'hiding' really hard to bear at times.<br /><br />Love & best wishes<br />Sammy BSammy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257879009293024225noreply@blogger.com
