I didn't think you were sulky; I thought you were honest. I felt the way you did about nine years ago when my brother stopped by my house for a visit. He has MS and now he is bedridden and cannot feed himself. Basically all he can do for himself now is talk and swallow food. Back then he could drive but needed to walk slowly and deliberately. Anyway, it was winter and there was snow everywhere. I was helping him walk up the steps into my house and he fell. I had to pick him up and struggle to get him into my house. To add insult to injury, my neighbor across the street stood on her porch, staring at us with her mouth hanging open. And I thought to myself, 'No. I don't need any help. I just need you to stand there, in horror, staring at me. Thanks for doing your part neighbor.' If there was just a tad more compassion in this world, people wouldn't feel so isolated, I think.

You were never one of them. You have so much class, witty. So much class.

You don't have to defend yourself. A few weeks ago, my best friend and I went to a mall in a wealthy neighborhood for Christmas shopping. While our clothes were not tattered and torn, people looked at us like we obviously didn't belong there because neither of us had $2500 handbags that matched our Gucci shoes. The most expensive houses and cars in the world won't make you a good person. I hate elitism.
