Even though everyone was silent, they might not have agreed with her. Right? My mom taught me a lesson when I was in second grade that has served me all my life. Two of my girlfriends had cheated me out of a turn at two-square at recess. I spent the whole recess in line waiting my turn, but they just kept allowing the outs. Later that day when I was crying to my mom about it she said, "You should feel sorry for them because their hearts are so small." That one bit of advice changed everything for me, putting me on top instead of underneath. You should feel sorry for that woman because her heart is so small, Jim, and grateful that you have a heart capable of deep and expansive love. <3 <3 <3
