When your internal voice is screaming at you to be quiet, it is always a good strategy to listen. I have found that ignoring it tends to lead a person into devastation. I have stood in the face of devastation a time or two and I care not to take myself there again. Not for a half truth hidden in a riddle full of nothing at all. Is it so hard to understand? Have I lost something, perhaps the only thing, that could bring me anything approaching peace and joy?

Who stole the ability to trust from me? I need it back.
