What do we define as normal
Gotta say, that's both true and untrue - that actual details are really irrelevant. Like most of life as we see it, it's a perspective. So what's the difference between truth and perspective? Not one helluva lot, so far as I can see. Even if 90% of the above is true, how pivotal is the other 10%? Most us thirty-plus don't worry about this too much...it's forgivable. Or, it's a story.
Don't matter. What I'm really trying to say is (1) I'm new here. and (2) I am leery of what I read. Sure I write, sure I have some brain-pops of my own. But I am concerned. Maybe overly cautious of other's motives. I need to say IMMEDIATELY that I am equally cautious of my own. Why? Because I 'suspect' I'm not like most of you - either driven to (oh so beautifully) share because you are behove to open up, or because you're actually sane and feel in control of your faculties, life, loves and work. I'm none, but I'm a survivor. One doesn't necessitate the other.
I suppose what I'm getting at (how would I know?) is that love - something I read on a popular post - Ani Anali - is not a 'choice', it's a verification. Love is courage, un-applauded, unseen, unrequited. It's rather unconscious. I would so....like to have love in a way that 'un-gimped' others have, but I don't. Doesn't stop me from loving.
I wouldn't mind being Ali - to know what he knows, to see through such clear eyes, to have his intelligence. But that ain't me. Don't get me wrong: we need people like him - like you. I guess we need less like me...where's the fun in that?

Ah yes, my dear Ali Anani. But you know to answer just ONE of your thoughts would require me to get out my hammer & chisel, calculator, sexton, and every philosophical tome I could lay my hands on :)

Where ARE my manners Deb Helfrich?? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even BE here!! Thank you most humbly! As to your question 'if love falls in the wood, unexchanged, does it really exist?' There's two answers: Yes, because of the individuals choice to love. Or: No, because you convinced yourself of a lie. It happens......

I 'fes up Steve Brady. She was really my great-grandmother - 'little granny'. My real grandmother (her daughter) wasn't nearly so colorful..just jumped fences at 70 and stole bananas off her neighbors trees :)

True @Brian McKenzie! It could have been an arrow instead of a rifle, but I suspect God can tell the true believers from those just practising, in which case, it may be a gesture of love? :)

I am floored at the responses! And because I have no idea what all these buttons mean, I just went ahead and pressed them all :) I think this may go to Deb, but to all here, I am touched by your response - truly! Thank you so much for your kindness!

Yes, and even if it was the only free mind Peter van Doorn. I just wanted to refer to the effect of internet shifting distribution more towards niche mind and products.
