I can't pinpoint the time or moment when I thought there was something to the argument, so it was a kind of accumulative process. But once there was a tipping point... When you come out the other side intellectually, I'd almost say it's crippling. You're immediately confronted with a holocaust, that is occurring everywhere at all times and ( Read more... )

I've been putting off writing this journal because I feel like there's a fine line between bragging and being grateful. I wrote a few sentences a couple of days ago but deleted them because I was concerned that it would come across as obnoxious ( Read more... )
