Ha ha...you are asking my question now "Am I making sense?"
Yes! You make perfect sense!
Well, I try to make sure I know the book first...get some background on/reviews.
I know that you can't avoid it all together. I really think that this is where the armor that our parents prepared for us must protect us. We must be able to be hit by the arrows, in this case words, and let them glance off of our armor. I don't think that we can avoid it really...at least not completely.
Forgive me...I do not mean to sound as though I am preaching.
