I am not sure you are an outlier here at all. I think you are articulating something universal and insightful here, namely that there is a connection between caring, deeply caring, and letting go. I think most of us have a hard time letting go of things we feel extremely connected to – like people we loved and still love, like words we have written that contain bits of us. I think it makes sense that it is easier to surrender things that you don’t feel tremendous investment in. Ultimately, the good life entails amassing things and people we don’t want to let go of?
Putting her out of her misery could mean draining the thing too, for all those thinking it means to put her down. You know, put her out of misery by lancing, draining, opening that thing up.

Hey, that’s powerful. Thanks for the news.
João Gui disse:Que incrÃvel ver este queijo aqui.Morei um tempo em Paris em 2007/2008, e descobri este queijo muito por acaso… e adorei – viciei. Realmente, foi por sorte – nunca fui de experimentar muitos tipos de queijo ao acaso… sempre fico nos mesmos.No final do ano, estou voltando pra lá, a passeio, e não vejo a hora de fazê-lo com batata no forno – essa receita eu não tentei ainda. Um beijo, e parabéns por este blog: poucas vezes vi um tão relevante em algum assunto especÃfico.
