selective kindness in an open space is a prisoner's dilemma betrayal. i have no opportunity to change this, they'll all stand up for each other and there is very strong unchallenged ideology in this area. where i can, i offer a cold shoulder to the clique and a secret smile to the voluntary hermit, and i hope that makes the great punch in the gut a little less nauseating

but i would never approach a fellow outcast, and no matter how unconsciously they understand their feelings i doubt they would ever approach me
