1 August 1998

Today I realized the truth about what is taught about us, when I was pointedly ignored by one of their children. Now, I did not want anything to do with them: they, their achievements, and their affairs. It was all a farce, and I had lived in an illusion. I was not saddened, but I suddenly felt the urgency to leave. Suddenly, I wanted to be immersed in my own concerns. The urgency caught the moment and swiftly seeped through my body. But just as quick the conversing voices reminded me to be civil. Did I hate them? No. I hated the norm that dictated this.
