Why do I so often choose to just sit on the sidelines and be non-communicative?
I am tired of trying to "play the game"...because I can't keep up with the ever-changing "rules"...and because I find it difficult to make small talk about things that are of little consequence when the things that should be discussed and known and shared are "off-limits".
Therefore, like the hushed silence of a new-fallen snow that blankets everything in sight, I remain silent...
