    Does it bother you that there are people in the world who disagree with you, or who are unimpressed by you?

    People are free to choose among many options in life; whether their choices differ
    or coalesce with mine is inconsequential. I for one respect human volition.

    Hell, no. Since when does the opinion of other people define who and what we are?

    The villagers of Pompeii felt like this! LIKE THIS! Just instead of hot lava I am inundated by the frothy saliva of a nonagenarian detective mumbling indecencies while riding a merry-go-round wearing just cowboy boots!

    BEHOLD! There's so much tuna in this sandwich the UN has declared it world heritage site!"

    "3/15 just now. Interesting in how many ways?"

    Possibly a minority of 3 or majority of 15 or a total of 18 or a net consensus of 12 different "ways".

    Your thoughts?

    Your words expressing your thoughts not anyone else's nor mine.

    Therefore, you're thanking yourself for "nothing."
