[MR] A story

[Logan]

what do you mean by that?  what "little world" do so many want to create in
your opinion?  im confused since with only the most rare exception ive found
folks working toward the same goal.  can you elaborate on what it is youve
labeled "many" folks with?

regards
logan

The stories of inclusion are my favorite type of stories.  Many would like
to engineer our hobbies and our activities into the world they want it to be
(thereby literally creating their own little world).  But then they find out
the hard way just how small and lonely creating their own little world can
be.
