firsthand.

seriously.

I can't stand the word "unfair."

hey, c'mon.

you get the gist, i'm sure.

No, really. That word choice put up a big wall for me.

oh my.

how did you ever psyche yourself up to respond at all with such a big
obstacle to overcome?

you deserve a Pulitzer, surely.

It calls to mind pity, and self-pity at that.

so people who've been seriously wronged are just suffering from self-
pity.

huh.

are you sure you didn't vote for Bush/Cheney?


My least favorite of all expressions/emotions.

no doubt.


so substitute whatever word or words you prefer.

try coercive injustice, for instance.

Coercive injustice? I don't know what you mean by that.

of course you don't.

you're spoiled rotten.


When I hear myself saying it I know something's really off.

why?

Self-pity = "UNFAIR" and if I'm feeling self-pity it means I've lost
perspective.

i don't doubt that at all.


Self-pity/UNFAIR comes from a place of powerlessness.

really?


Feeling sorry for myself happens when I'm a passive participant and
things happen *to* me. It's never the case. I always play a part.

yeah.

right.

brainwash girl always plays a part.

uh huh.

keep telling yourself that.

"Fair?" That seems like something you consider
when doling out portions of pie evenly.

does it?

but even so, if you didn't get your "fair share" of some pie (based on
your perception of what your fair share should be), you could have
written about that.

It's a childish concept.

well, being as you've never gotten past childish concepts...


<...>

Pretty effin good for only my left hand!!!

yet another major accomplishment for you.

time for a party to celebrate!


-$Zero...

then you've never been wronged as an adult.
