That was a very lengthy yet incredibly kind and sort of pensive deep message from an SW stranger

Which almost never happens.

They are almost always short and shallow. Lack feelings and analysis.

Now I don't know what to say.

I read it and I am thinking about it.

I don't remember this person sadly. kind people who invest time attempting to relate to me and see me can confuse me. Can't help but to wonder about the motive driving the efforts.

Ahhh

When you spend enough time playing chess with life, it becomes impossible to assume good intentions. Pieces differ, pawns advance and never retreat, queens move freely...pieces are different but the objective is not.
