As a differently-abled boy who has grown old over the course of this brief existence, I have never had to call the teacher to defend myself or to get me out of trouble, not even this time. Anyone who thinks so has misunderstood or read my comments differently, and I don't care at all, but I want to make that clear. Here on the Deb, I come to spend some time in company, especially when I also spend my 8 hours at ehm "work," and I don't want to get upset over any nonsense. But if someone becomes heavy, I try to shake them off in any way, right or wrong. That said, I copy and paste this other part:
The most violent and sincere emotion does not last forever:
it provokes actions, generates obsessions, then it fades;
but if a torment is temporarily kept at bay, it cannot be said to have ceased to exist; it is present even in the care taken to avoid it.
Often words are nothing but silence, and silence has its own voice.
