When I was 6, I was once deeply gutted by the realization that I'd never know the inner life of a class bully. This was a core theory-of-mind moment, when it dawned on me that I'd *never* be able to see the world the way anyone else saw it.
Oh, later on I'd sometimes try to "be understood", as silly humans do--but I'd always come back to that early lesson, that we all live with "self-evident" truths others can never know as we know them.
Good lesson, if tough.
So thank you Robert--ya stinker!
@MLClark perhaps you were more privy to their internal world by how they made you or others feel as a consequence.
Oh you had my hopes up that DarkAlfred was operational for a hot sec there. 🤣 One day!
Also:
"A Center to Left circular firing squad aimed inward unstead of outside the circle"
😬 Wait, are you trying to tell me that shooting *outside* the circle was ever a possibility? Inconceivable!
@MLClark oh in this time of a war to preserve something like a democracy I would hope moderatly disparate people could join together as, hmmmmm, allies to fight common enemies. Maybe it’s spontaneous relapse into Twitter learned combativeness.
Woof!
