    So sorry. Out of words.

    My condolences.I am not going to pretend i can understand what you and your wife are going through. We are all in the hands of fate and maybe she was too good for this world. While i have no words. Here is some music for your comfort. While this is finnish.Music is a language in itself and i hope it can comfort you. My condolences.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Oh man... this brings back tears to my eyes. I feel a fraction of your pain. Last Monday (11th of May) I and my wife went to the hospital for an early ultrasound checkup. What was supposed to be an uplifting event to see our child for the first time ended in tragedy. The little life we expected to see on the monitor lay silent and immobile. The little boy had decided to call it a day prob. 2 weeks before the checkup (they called it a missed abortion). I have only told my father this, but your horrible experience prompted me to share. I think of the countless parents who experience similar griefs all over the world. I still feel hollow inside and keeping distracted only works so far. There are no words that can help in this... Gah!! this makes me so sad.

    Unhappy Re: Hear me out...

    Sympathies to Sarmatian and to Sigurd.

    Life can be pretty horrible, but until a better system comes along I'm going to drink it all in. May you and your loved ones get through this bitter experience and find sweetness again.

    I wish that instead of just being able to send data quickly we could teleport to our friends in need.

    Ugh, guys, I'm so sorry for both of you. You know I'm a religious man, I'm not going to harp on that, I'm just going to say that days like these make it hard for me to understand the way the world works.

    I think I'll leave it there, just... ugh.

    Sigurd, words...
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Thanks for the support. It's been a really hard time, but we're feeling a little better now. Of course, it will take quite a long time to feel normal again, if it ever happens. Friends and family really helped us.

    Sigurd, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

    I may speak more about this later, but I want you guys to know that your support was appreciated and helpful.

    My thoughts and prayers to both of you
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
