Dear Albo;
You are in quicksand and flapping about. Be quiet and you will float to the top. Forget all this crap analysis of language, you better know what it is by now or you are in big trouble.
I want you, not your stories, theories or queries, you, YOU!
Now, tell me what you are experiencing, not thinking, that's all rubbish, absolute and unadulterated rubbish. What are you feeling, seeing, hearing.. right now, where you are.
You said 'Not without first understanding and coming to terms with what I have experienced and am now going through as a result.' You will never, ever achieve that. Only make up more B.S. to satisfy you ego that you know what happened. GIVE THAT CRAP UP! All understanding and coming to terms with is just you trying to exert control over what happened. It happened and it doesn't matter what it was, you have NO control over what has already occurred. GOT IT?
Please don't tell me that you are experiencing me as an arrogant ass, I got over that quite a while ago. It's about YOU and no one else. If you are not up to it, please leave. If you are, I'll support you as best I can. Balls in your court.
Love ya, (contrary to the tone of the preceding), Jed.
