YOUR STORY HAS
TOUCHED MY HEART
Never before have I met anyone with
more troubles than you.
Please accept this token of my sincerest
sympathy.

Part of the issue is that Good at Words people are generally inclined to accept that people are all different ways and to think thatโs just fine. Good at Math people have been allowed too much room to think that only they have the thoughts that matter.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICEโgetting pepperballed and standing their groundโand thought โthatโs awesome. That person is a heroโ
