The only thing that's real

I didn’t give up yet, but I’ve been out of the world for the last week.
Some of the things I came to know during that time.
1) People are capable of anything when they are pain free.
2) Pain does hurt.
3) Daytime TV remains the place between life and hell.
4) The Massacre of Nanking, is an overlooked and under reported series of events, that though well documented, seem to be out of our frame of reference, especially regarding violence against women and children.
5) One’s mouth takes a really long time to heal.
