b) The point I was trying to make was only partly about Trisha. Many of our esteemed ladies [ and that is a sincere term] do have fulfilling family lives and/or careers.
I find many of them to be very thoughtful and loving women. Consider this, I write to many and receive back wonderful and warm letters, about many subjects. I wish I could show you some of those. About education, legume physiology [your backyard, btw, can you guess?], so many things. They are speaking about issues of interest to them, stuff I know nothing about, e.g. poems written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, philosophy of interest to that writer, also not familiar to me.
Why should it be calculated to make a man feel swell? Quite the opposite, don't you think? You are a doctor, medical or otherwise: so figure this out for us?
I am saying that I have developed a sincere appreciation for the qualities of the head and heart I have found in so many of these ladies, not one of whom I have met in person, or am likely to meet. That is the important point. Therefore, there is no benefit to them to make me feel good, is there.
If the mods allow, I shall offer a concrete example of someone no longer working, Ms. Alexis Moore. I knew of her from way back when, at a time when she was a skinny spinner, a sprite of a girl. Over time, she matured, started a family, and her body changed. I don't go to Syracuse, not since 1997. Over time, she and I used to speak on the phone, write emails. Call it a one-way admiration society.
There is a specific reason. I search for bodhisattvas in my own stupid effed-up ways. Over time, some few persons light up my radar screens, as it were. To each his own poison. Some like football, others do bratwurst in beer and onions, I search for bodhisattvas. Crazy, eh? Cheaper, and less calories!
I may be totally wrong, but Ms. Moore is one amazing person, in ways too many to describe. Amazing does not mean perfect! Same with Trish, same with many, many I have come to know and admire. But never known in the biblical sense. None of them has any reason to make me feel swell. I am a mere nobody, which only makes their reactions all that more admirable.
