9 minutes left to tell you about Doc Zhivago... "He knew that they were all showing him their affection but he felt a crushing weight of distress." The title character in a fit, speaking of the way the plebes treat him.
Do you, as an enlightened (and otherwise excellent) person, ever get the feeling that being normal precludes a person from really understanding what you are saying? I feel that way on several occasions daily. It is as if the entire world stares at me with blank eyes wondering if I'm broken... I am not broken, my simple friends, I am not stupid, I simply have different cares than you.
But as many of us know, being different is like pasting a sign to your back that says "Kick Me". Ostracization is the order of the day when you 'get it'. Understanding leads to becoming an outcast, almost as if the more you know the farther out on the fringes you are. Yet people still thrive for understanding, even though their lives will never again be the same. (Trust me on this one, I know!!...) Watching a movie is never quite the same again... Just remember, you really can't put a stopper in life andy more than you can put a stopper in death.
