Your assumption of my interference with her affairs being damaging to their
family is probably natural, but annoying nonetheless. Please rest your case
with the fact that what you read in fiction does not neccessarily apply to
every case, even if I so blindly believe that. Wrong and right are silly,
to talk about two poles, two microscopic specs in comparison with the
content of the line and its laterals between them, is useless. TO say it's
partly right and partly wrong is equally useless. Man, I'm just trying to
move through this grey, not label everything black or white. I want to make
everything right, but if it doesn't happen that way, because of my or her
foresight, then that is a fact. Add me to the statistics. I will be
another cause for those kids smoking cigarettes in the arcade, maybe. It's
useless to guess at what can't be known. In the meantime, I would like to
know that I'm not alone in this ordeal, that someone has been through it
before.
