Dear joanna:

I think your English is fine. I ask people what they mean when their English is better than mine. I ask because I don’t know.

Regarding Tom, you wrote that the two of you are damaged. Okay, I accept that as true. I ask you: is any one of you not only damaged, but also damaging the other?

Probably every single individual out there who is damaging is also damaged. Not every individual who is damaged is also damaging.

If a person was to be excused for damaging because he or she is damaged, then all prisoners must be freed, all criminals not guilty, all cruelties dismissed.

Back to Tom…?
