The Earshot Theorem

[peroxidepirate]

Buffy fans might remember the episode Earshot, in which a demon sting (or something) causes Buffy to develop telepathy; as a result, she learns that someone is planning a massacre at Sunnydale High. I'm thinking about that episode for two reasons: one, gabrielleabelle  runs a weekly episode poll, and this one is on "Earshot."

Two, it contains a quote I keep

I'd never heard that one. I like it very much.

(and know I am reading everything you write on this thing, even if I can't find the words every time. So, it's true! *grin*)

Thank you! *grins also*

I like the Earshot Theorem a lot. I like yours even better though:

On the good days, of course, we rise above that. We help each other through the bad times and take mutual joy in the good times.

On the bad days, I remind myself that there is someone out there, with their own pain. My job's to pause, take another look, and say, 'That don't look like my brother. But maybe he is.'

Aw, thanks! I like your phrasing as well. :D

I... am actually a little frightened that you see me as optimistic, when I feel like I have to try so hard not to just wallow in the bad stuff. But possibly all that trying does get me somewhere?

Anyway, thank you very much!

[peroxidepirate]

Hmmm, okay. I think I see what you mean.

ILU even if you're curmudgeony!

I thought you might.
