"I have too much respect for people to try to control them. But they are estranged from love, afraid to reach out and touch one another. We're afraid to appear sentimental or speak in platitudes because people will say, 'What a jerk!' It takes courage in our culture to be a lover."
Leo Buscaglia
great intro, Jakey! you'll find lots to be a part of around here. my user name may be mogwhy(the why will become apparent--i ask lots of questions) but please call me moggy-- small m (i like how it looks ) and ends in y, but although moggy is preferred, i'll answer to just about anything, except being late for dinner.
so Welcome Jakey! nice to meet you
your words ring true and give pause... it is just easier to sit in the dark, the silence than it is to reach out again and get smacked-down... or worse, find no one there
