Sometimes, most of the time, people do not say what they really think or feel because it is too difficult, too aware of shame, embarrassment, refusal, hurt. Whether it is for selfish reasons or to save someone else pain. Sometimes people say those things; in a whisper, a letter, a text, an email. Sometimes I regret not saying things. Its no easier in the end.
In this world of supposed free, mass communication our interaction is more bound up with etiquette than ever. Our social situations no less complex than Versailles. The lines are drawn and very few cross them.
For those very reasons I have just written those lines above.
