On self-pity


I am feeling extremely bitter today.

...And you know as well as I do - one is mostly angered by his/her own actions, not by the actions of others.

Well, maybe I'm not too sure about that.

I am feeling extremely sad today.

...And you know as well as I do - one is brought to tears by self-pity, not by the event per se.

I'm quite certain of this.

I miss you terribly.

...And you know as well as I do - one is brought to tears by your absence, not by our separation.

I know this is true.
