Same with anything, illness, depression, spilling a cup of tea. These things are the more endurable, the more one accepts that they are inevitable, and will come, and go again, and be replaced by other traumas, and nightmares. It's grist for the mill of this grand soulless meatgrinder universe.

I think I might do that if the post was about something serious or important to me and you and I had never interacted before in any kind of serious way?
Sometimes I put up a poem about something important to me and someone uses it as grist for a shitty pun, and I don't have the inclination to chat.
