I really should know better by now

I don't know why I keep doing it. I relax, I think I'm among friends, I tentatively bring out an idea that's close to my heart and I watch someone jumping up and down on the tiny shining thing because they choose to believe I've said something quite different. I don't think "Wouldn't it be nice if we could change our attitudes to the way we think about work and creativity" is quite the same as "Creative people should be let off work and everyone else should support them"; but I daresay I read old books of logic. Anyway, I don't suppose it would have cost me so much sleep if I wasn't still raw over the other thing, but as it is I don't even have the energy to be offended over what kind of person they obviously think I am.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

*looks all stern*

Don't apologise for starting an intelligent conversation!

I kinda like the occasional conflicts - nice to hear other people's opinions and rethink my own position...

FWIW: my comment about Person A not requiring Person B to give up their dreams? Entirely about my in-laws. I see someone I love going through a really hard time because of a perceived obligation. I wish I could stop it - everyone deserves some peace... Which I suppose isn't so *very* far from what you were saying about obligations and requirements...

Anyway, love you!
