Ayn Rand once said, "the person who loves everybody and feels at home everywhere is the true hater of mankind. He expects nothing of men, so no form of depravity can outrage him."
Those are my true feelings, but my challenge has been to not harbor any bitterness towards these people, which is against my natural feelings, but something I still think is the right thing to do.
>>>Michael, I can tell you mean well, truly, and that you are a caring young man. But I feel the need to point out that you have no way of knowing if someone here on Babble drives a dirty pickup truck, smokes, and blasts Metallica. And you have no way of knowing what that person might do for a living or how they might act in varying situations. Or how they might appear in "print" in this medium.
Thank you. I'm sure there may be people here who fit the description, but from my interactions with them, they must be the exception, because I like everyone here. There are always exceptions.
