I love how you took some basic ideas and created complexity, and took complex ideas and boiled them down. I'm with you on the anger over wanting to contribute to a greater good -- to collaborate -- in a world of people who are primarily looking for individualized spotlights. I was severely burned twice by these types of situations: once in a rock band, and once in a professional situation. It was hard to decide which emotion was stronger, the hurt or the rage.

I did something similar in my senior year of high school. Some girl snatched a paper crane a dear girlfriend made for me earlier that day and taunted me by playing keep away. I grabbed a book and threw it in her face, making her nose bleed. Irrational? Oh, yes. She got sent to the nurse's office and I was sent after her to apologize. There, she got in my face with "how dare you"s and other such variations. I got sent to the vice-principal's office where I sobbed out my story and got a week's detention. It’s okay, Ramona.
