Has the stench of such foul winds finally overwhelmed our senses? Or is it our aging souls have finally realized the futility of such actions? All I know is that my desire to be happy and have those I love be happy, now overwhelms any desire to make someone else unhappy. I wish it had always been that way but I'm just as guilty of committing my share of verbal corruption. ButbI've stopped, I will stop others around me, and I'll no longer tolerate it in my life. It's time to fight the good fight by words and by actions. There seems to be a tide of similar posts on this very concept circling through our network of friends.

Have you ever see or read about isolation studies in primates? The lack of interaction with thier peers drove many of them insane. Walls, be they physical, mental or social are all the same. To be berfet of the simplest touch or kind smile, meant not in pity, but in recognition of mutual life can darken your life to blackness. But self pity kept him there. A cycle of blaming "them" for his darkness descended out of control. Jealousy for the joy of life that he saw in everyone else consumed him and made no room for hope. I hope you excuse my intrusion onto your thoughts, but reading your work always ignites mine.
