âAmong other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from themâif you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.â
â J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

"Every living thing is an elaboration of a single original plan. As humans we are mere increments - each of us a musty archive of adjustments, adaptations, modifications and providential tinkerings stretching back to 3,8 billion years. Remarkably we are even quite closely related to fruit and vegetables. About half the chemical functions that take place in a banana are fundamentally the same as the chemical functions that place in you. It cannot be said too often: all life is one. That is, and I suspect will ever prove to be, the most profound true statement there is." - Bill Bryson in "A Short History of Nearly Everything" (2003)

I'm not saying you shouldn't talk about his incontinence issues which you obviously have an issue talking about, I'm just pointing out that you have an issue talking about it - but keep on talking about it because I don't have an issue with what you talk about and I'm pointing that out to you that I have an issue about pointing things out to people.
