Stamps of Approval


Can you still seek approval from someone who’s no longer here? You know the kind of person who actually has devoted time and attention to not validating you---a contradiction in terms since indifference is neither an act of will nor something that requires effort. Consider the idea of an exception, ie someone coming back from the dead just to apologize for being wrong about you. There are doors which will always be closed and questions that are never answered. What did you do wrong? Are you perhaps overly sensitive to slights even the most heralded of talents suffers? Can you take some solace that Obama was forced to prove his provenance by producing a birth certificate? Nothing more humiliating than that. Who's to say that human life is not similar to that childhood playground, where bullies run the show and you're perpetually passed over for the pickup game.
