Ah, so...Dear Sherman,
I feel your posts when I read them. Something about them speaks to me
(sometimes it irritates me, you have a knack for getting rubbed the
wrong way, I think, and then passing on the feeling)...and perhaps it's
because you have empathy yourself that this happens...
I don't really know where I'm going with this except I know that I find
your posts unsettling (which is not to say that they are bad, just to
say that I find them this way, and there's a reason for this that I
don't yet see...)
I have the empathy "curse" myself. Sometimes I feel things that I later
discover don't originate "within" me, but are something that someone
else is feeling, and it's difficult to discern whether it's the lump of
flesh I know as me or someone else's stuff...
<rolls eyes at all the sense I'm not making>
