"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us 'for our own good' will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis

I wonder why the things that should be so simple, so natural... like loving someone and letting them see into your heart... should require so much courage?

Hello vansailor and welcome to the forum from me. I see you've already been directed to the rules etc. so just make yourself at home!
Do you fancy telling us all a bit about yourself? What side of the political divide do you sit if anywhere?
