I love this question.


i doubt this is true. but if it really is "all just too complicated" please do stop trying to simplify it. you are an intelligent person, perfectly capable of making sense of a great many difficult things. this is no different. humankind is made more beautiful by it's complexity...not diminished by it.


This I actually disagree with a bit. Some folks need to break things down into bite-size pieces of information for themselves. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. Our community is complex. We, as humans, are complex. Love is complex. Some people need to bring some simplicity to their lives in order to lie down with the complexity of it all.

Note: this is not in relation to what you were responding to....just my thoughts as I was reading your responses.

"of course"

again, two cents isnt enough, not for the assumed privilege of defining several billion people in such a narrow way. your money would be better spent learning how each individual defines themselves...rather than having decided ahead of time what and whom each of us is.

What good are first impressions if an impression has already been formed before you meet someone? Good point.


thank you for being so articulate Gemme. (breathing deeply) i was feeling myself in danger.

Breathe in, breathe out....breathe in, breathe out....breathe in, breathe out...
