This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 16, 2008:
Pride.....
We don't want anyone to pity us and many of us are far too proud to accept charity. Additionally, sorrow can be an intensely personal thing and few feel comfortable enough with the world in general to share this depth of emotion..
Personally, I hate to cry since it makes my skin blotchy, my eyes swollen and red and mascara streaks running down my face, my nose bright red and gives me a headache....So I try to avoid sharing a sorrowful time with others...
