You haven't truly understood a word you have read here, Isadora...have you?

For you. Ah, so...so suffering is a NOBLE thing...? Not in my universe.

Once again...you haven't heard a word you have read here.

Your world is full of shoulds and responsibilities. Inevitabilities...statistics...
My world is full of freedom.
Worlds of difference.
You have set yourself up to judge what is kind and responsible and you
say that not having insurance is unkind and irresponsible.
Well, I say that you are full of shit, Isadora.
I mean that in a loving way, although your post makes me so angry,
because you sound *exactly* like my southern baptist grandmother when
she sanctimoniously told me that she was "so worried about me" because I
was going to go to hell if I did not believe as she did.
She was full of shit too. She was using that as a hammer to "punish" her
family...to lord over with her sanctimoniousness...to control...
You want people to see things your way, so I see...
I say that's crap.
That's my opinion, and I am entitled to it...I don't want your worry,
Isadora...I don't want your fear, your worry, your "noble suffering" or
your attitude...
These things make me very angry...it is my anger, I'll take
responsibility for it...
But my world is much different from yours...can't you see that?
Blessings...
Kath
