It amuses me when people discover that I have a dark side and often a very dark sense of humor.
51 years of near constant trauma PLUS being born in 1971 will do that to a person.
@Shelter Try being born in the fifties. You had it easy: No Vietnam, No Children's March
@Shelter My comment was light hearted. Perhaps you took it to seriously. Who knows what other individuals go through and the generation they grow up in is of little consequence. Other matters are more important determiners.
@Shelter Obviously your remarks affected me and I have been thinking about them. You are an intelligent and I think capable person. You have dealt with adversity. WE all do. Few of us become winners. My jury is still out, though I am optimistic. Yours?
@zacnewman
Also I recommend going forward that you never say to a stranger that they had it easy.
Thanks.
