That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Possibly.  I'll have to flesh this out more when I'm not feeling so colorless.

:lulz: Okay, okay, point taken. But the rare few?

I don't know.  You come here if you're KINDA bad.  That's why it's "heck". 

Who decides on this good/bad system?  I don't want to know, nevermind.

All I know is, yeah, people here are, by and large, stained.  I wouldn't say they're all BAD, mind you, though we have more than our fair share of shitnecks (maybe), but one thing we all are is Marked.  It's hard to describe.

There's this understanding, see.  Everyone here is damaged in some way, or they were brought here by damaged people in one way or another.  Physically, mentally, emotionally, doesn't matter.  Nobody here is whole.  So that's a thing we have in common with each other.  I mean, other than being dead.

Even if we were bad before we died, some people do end up repenting or something, or the good/bad system is so arbitrary and shallow that people who don't really deserve being here end up here anyway, because it seems to me like the best people here are the ones who have the biggest stains.

What we HAVE is po'buckers.  They weren't good people, but they lacked the imagination to be truly BAD.  And, yes, everyone here is a damage case in one way or another.  It's like the kingdom of PTSD.

Was that necessary?  I had been making an effort at posting every thread I visited, some of it even worth noting, and when I read this I had no desire at all to continue doing so.

Arguably, I can't help myself.

Also, waiting for more color means waiting forever.  It doesn't just appear, you have to grab it and choke it until it does what you tell it to do.

Dr Seuss had something to say about that, at some point.  Something about The Waiting Place.

But if you like, I can just say things people want to hear.

I can tell you everything's gonna be alright, and that it's okay to procrastinate because we're all special.  I can tell you that Tomorrow is only a day away, instead of being the ENEMY, as it is.

I can tell you all of this and more.

I didn't say that, and don't agree at all with that, in fact you and Nigel and recently Alty annd some others don't make me name you all are pretty much PD's last defence against the hollow howling of wind, but I did feel like even making myself say something period when I don't feel like saying anything anymore isn't good enough, and so I'm not good enough, and it was frustrating.  That's all.

I didn't say that, and don't agree at all with that, in fact you and Nigel and recently Alty annd some others don't make me name you all are pretty much PD's last defence against the hollow howling of empty and silent wind, but I did feel like even making myself say something period when I don't feel like saying anything anymore isn't good enough, and so I'm not good enough, and it was frustrating.  That's all.

I never said anyone wasn't good enough.

Wait.  There's that hippie poet.  But other than that, I never said anyone wasn't good enough.  What I DID say was that being a mutant is WORK, and Holiness™ doesn't wait for tomorrow.

The thing about this church is, the road to salvation is much shorter.  It's also up hill on about a 45 degree slope.  "Think for yourself" and "Don't be the label" and "Don't eat the menu" may be easy to SAY, but is in fact very, very difficult to DO.
