No. Because if they did, they would recognise that Every Single One Of Them is experiencing it, All The Time. Every Internet diversion, every Second Life, every subsumation of the actual emotional response beneath the Forced Shallow Braying Laughter, is an attempt for people to Stop Feeling this all consuming Dread.
Very well said.
And now I can't stop thinking about Dune, and how I want a megaphone... And now I can't stop thinking about how most at whom I'd shout the Litany Against Fear would completely misunderstand it.
OMG, lol its so emo!!! dont be so serious, lol kk?
It's a very important distinction. I'm of the mentality that I always appreciate a small wave, if someone begins to read what I write-- just a small "Oh don't mind me, I'll just be walking behind you, for a bit, seeing where you go." It helps me feel more inclined to return the favour.
On Livejournal, the weighted term makes that contact even more imperative, while Twitter's linguistic choice lets me ignore it, more easily.
