I'd forgotten the form "Translation:" for subtext: amplifying unspoken words,
turning up the volume to clarify the message. IMO Share disliked the content of
the "quote" quote. Rather than confront the issue, she called attention to the
quotation marks, which is a safe bet for not owning up to anything you've
called her on. Except that doesn't work out too well on a forum that provides
little in the way of an escape hatch from yourself. The only way out is having
enough courage and integrity to face the little gremlins in your psyche working
real hard to keep you from knowing yourself...self and Self. FFLife is the
perfect place to banish your gremlins and own your strengths and weaknesses.
Where else can you get this much therapy for free? Over the years, we've come
to know each other so well that the mirrors we hold up to each other, whether
true or distorted are a unique blessing when used for self-reflection, a
blessing some of us more or less embrace.
