sorry
I feel sick thinking that I hurt you in some way or have been so misunderstood.. but I guess that's the risk of the typed word. I'm so sorry. Just to clarify, I was not trying to imply that you were/are a thumbsucker... didn't know that was something you would call people... thumbsucker is a movie that just came out... I sucked my thumb untill I was 11... so I'm the thumbsucker... not sure what that means to you. I was just saying that we are all pretty fu@#ed up... but have to hold the tention that it also could be worse. There are people who suffer more than we have or do. I think keeping this tention is an important part of healing. The picture I used is a picture of me.

No need to apologise..I didnt mean to use your own pain against you.( sorry for that) I thought you were insinuating that I was whinging. Thats what I meant by the thumsucker reference.
Im quite aware that there are people worse off than me. Again, thanks for pointing it out. As I stated, your quite right, in many ways, I could never truly identify with him, but I cried for half an hour after reading that particular chapter of Yanceys book.. Perhaps I am just melodramantic. Yes.. I think I must be, coz I do this often.. You said it yourself in one of your posts, suffering can be relative: I will never know what its like to be a lost boy of Sudan, or see my parents murdered in front of me, or live in the conditions that the indigenous people of this land do, quite aware of the reletivity of my problems ...
But.. I do identify with the elephant man, in my own way, for my own reasons.
It's all good urbanmonk...
"But.. I do identify with the elephant man, in my own way, for my own reasons."
I know you do, and I wasn't trying to dismiss or disqualify that... just holding the tension... not assuming that you needed me to...
Check out these photos, they reminded me of your stuff... the reflections are good too..
