Even if a line or two is really "amazing" to them, they still don't "get" the whole thing or give any of it a second glance. And as for people not caring, most don't. Most people are in it for themselves and never take the time to understand you because they are too busy focusing on themselves and get pissed at you when you aren't focused on them for the slightest bit. It is pretty irksome. I once heard a quote that I felt is very true: 50% of people don't care about your problems and 50% are glad you have them. But sometimes you do stumble upon a person who does care.

I disagree, John. YES, we all are busy, with our own lives, but that doesn't mean that we don't care. I often wish that I had more than a few minutes, to really write out a really well thought out response. But, often, I just don't have more than a few minutes. And lord knows, we live in a world of constant distraction, now. I dislike, very much so, the constant texts, and emails, and IM's, that make me feel,.....unfocused, on more important things in life.

I feel The Ledge is somewhat different. I feel people on here are more caring and interested than you would expect essential strangers to be. I was referring more to those people who I truly know and consider "friends".
