Annie, all this sounds to me like your own caring and kindness, not mine. There are countless causes for heartbreak at this moment, but here it may be that you sensed not my pain but my patience breaking.

Annie, all this sounds to me like your own caring and kindness, not mine. There are countless causes for heartbreak at this moment, but here it may be that you sensed not my pain but my patience breaking.
The mix of limitless greed and the crassest stupidity is hard to bear and there are moments when TC's vengeful fantasies dance on the outer edge of my conscious mind.
I don't want to say more, but there is plenty of reason to pity wretched bandits like these and infinitely more to pity their victims.
Thank you, Peter. But heartbreak isn't limited only to caring and kindness. I think it is just as applicable to patience giving way. Mine is too. And I agree with all you said. I am in another kind of pain right now due to the near-death of one friend and the loss of another for more complicated reasons. Some days when I read what is going on, it's just too much. And sometimes certain comments on here miss the mark by so much I just have to stop reading. More loss, because this group often helps ground me, and further, helps me clarify what is important. Including not giving away my own capacity for pity and compassion even for people I really can't stand. That simply is not part of the deal for me.

I shall reply.
But now, only to say that your words go so deep, it is a gift to receive them. A rare gift.
I am grateful.
