Lonely1, this is what you said to David when he was struggling
"The definition of courage is, to stand up for your principles despite personal risk.
Anyone who would chastise you for having morals is either too shallow and petty to have morals themselves, or they are just too arrogant to admit that they don't have the courage to follow their oun principles.
You have done what you know in your heart is right, and no one can judge you for that."
imho, that is very smart stuff and it the kind of support that we have all come to expect from you. I wish you could "redefine" yourself and see you the way we do....I wish you could feel hopeful about your future. I understand that you don't feel that way and I respect your honesty.
I think you are wrong but then I am old and know how things can change with time...good changes, bad changes but things do not ever stay the same. It doesn't happen overnight. Please try to see yourself floating on your back while we carry you.
