That's one of the big lies, right there---that we're alone. Especially in our pain and struggle. We're alone because <i>everyone else doesn't have these problems</i>, just us, and it's because we are singular failures, individual bad/broken toys that need to be swept away to the trash....and how do we know this, anyway? Because if it was all so bad, well...wouldn't people be speaking it aloud? Writing it? <i>Admitting</i> it? And as long as there's a stigma to admitting it, then the illusion stays. Damn, the burrito argument. I've had arguments like that. Exactly like that. Ohhhh baby. If I never have another argument like that again it won't be too soon. You are one powerful writer. <i>Salud!</i> Damn!
