I'm either a narcissist or naive, because I can't tell you how often (and every time) I am shocked, SHOCKED when someone else has the same specific, complex emotional response that I have.
I can handle the pain... the shame, / I've been practicing all my life. What I can't / handle is the fire that flames my gut -- / anything might touch me off. All I've swallowed / has poisoned me. Don't you know this? Do something / ... fix me. No. Fix the world.
from "Dear God" (Jim Ferris)
