B"H I've been keeping to it also. I can definitely relate to the temptation. My outlook is that I was fine before I knew about it (I found out last night - like waaaay after everyone else...), nothing changed from before I knew to after, and if anything else does happen, the same way I found out about this I'll find out about that.

Supposedly a few walkie-talkies are blowing up now too.

Pagers and walkie-talkies. Surprised that hasn't caught on in Lakewood actually.

Why?

Why must I be so disconnected? 
Why must I build walls around my heart?
Why must I be so cynical?

Why?

Why can't I just open up and let something hit me deep inside?
Why can't I open my heart and be touched?
Why can't I just be the real me? 

Why?

Please forgive my light hearted attempt at humor,  But seriously and honestly, I feel you…here’s a warm hand and a kiss on both cheeks from a fellow chronic cynic.

Why indeed. These are questions I ask myself too, and then busy myself with something so I don't have to think about it

Hey, my dear friend, I'm so sorry for the pain and the painful questions.

Good question...
I don't think I've discussed it much with people here.
I think this mainly comes from the trials and travails, failures, frustrations, politics, and sometimes (many times?) sheer stupidity that comes along with living in Small Town, USA.

You mean that Burma moved to the USA? Crazy stuffffff

The opposite of disconnection is connection!

Hey, any update on these non-rhetorical questions?
Some of us have similar queries and are hoping you might have some answers.

Indeed.

My own answer, in short, would be just a few words:
Because I am scared.

I don't trust. I've been hurt by others. I've hurt myself. I'm protecting myself. I've conditioned myself to be tight. I can't let go. I don't know what will slip if I loosen my grip. I fear opening up - lest something ugly gets in, or out. I don't believe in myself enough. I don't believe in Hashem enough. I haven't been able to accept who I really am.
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Thoughts...
How many times can you run around the arena of your mind before you are so thoroughly confused that you don't actually know what you think anymore?

Don't have much to update on this end...
