Went and did the work thing. Came home, played with Ra, did the music thing. Skimmed the 'net, hopped on IRC and read LJ. Nothing particularly interesting or insightful there this evening.
But if you roll back a dozen hours or so....
I did have a conversation online earlier this morning that got me thinking. I started tossing things over in my head because of something that was said in open honesty but still rubbed me the wrong way. The rest of this entry is because of that old axiom, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." I recognize that what was said wasn't meant to hurt, it was merely an observation that was meant to illuminate a point and I hold no ill will against the person who said it.
But I still am going to rant at length about it anyway.
What caused all this, you ask? It's all because of the comment that I am "a wee bit young to be so cynical." This kicked some gears over in my head and got me thinking, and what followed it up actually made me rather cross and is the basis for the remainder of this journal.
