I'm thinking that I was excessively callous and insensitive to Odeon, yesterday. It was not until just now, after reading quite a bit of the board to catch up, that I began to realise that his statements of angst were serious. I responded in a self centered, joking way and misinterpreted his posts as being just another day's worth of the same old "Fuck it all" storm waves that swamp most of us at some point, on a daily basis.
I hope he can overlook the hardhearted impertinence of my musing and accept an apology for the stolid, apathetic distance I showed him, yesterday.
