[quote=Anonymous]After reading this thread I was catching up with Andrew Sullivan, and today's Quote for the Day caught my eye.

"Living in the world as a cripple allows you to see more clearly the crippled hearts of some people whose bodies are whole and sound. All of us, from time to time, suffer this crippling. Some suffer it daily and nightly; and while most of us, nearly all of us, have compassion and love in our hearts, we cannot or will not see these barely visible wounds of other human beings, and so cannot or will not pick up the telephone or travel to someone’s home or writer a note or make some other seemingly trifling gesture to give someone what only we, and God, can give: an hour’s respite, or a day’s, or a night’s; and sometimes more than respite: sometimes joy," - Andre Dubus, "A Woman In April," from Broken Vessels.

I think I feel just the tiniest bit sorry for the OP.  It must be hard to live with such bitterness in your heart.  [/quote]
