This is slightly off topic, but just thinking of people assuming I caused Elise's (random, totally unforseeable) problems by persuing what would be (according to many books, several doctors and a dozen midwives) safest for us both with everything I had makes me want to say...
Why are people looking for something bad? Why is everyone so quick to jump on others, and judge, and assume? When I see someone I don't agree with, I try to understand where they're coming from. I try to see everything from other peoples' perspectives, moreso the more I don't agree. And if I do end up talking badly about someone, even if it's a murderer, or a person who's hurt me terribly, it's generally either, A. after a disclaimer and before taking half of it back, or B. Just prior to hating myself for it and repenting. It seriously blows my mind that anyone can just spout off insults without feeling horribly self conscious and ashamed.
Anyway I know you didn't mean to get that tyrade ;) I just thought you would get it.
