Wow, Gurpreet.

Thank you for taking the time to get back to me.

First of all, let me say that I admire your fire, this passion that you carry.

Then, as I was reading your note, I couldn't help by wondering if the people to choose to degrade you did so because they actually did not see "you," but possibly their fears.

There was a time in which I was a very envious man. I am still a little envious at times, but not too much. Anyway, I was dating this girl, and we went to a small show in a cafe, and this Brazilian guitarist was playing.

What a performance! He was magic, passion, sensuality, and virility! All these things I wish I would have been.

It was a small venue. Maybe 50 people tops. Nothing major. But I remember the awe mixed with my envy, almost hatred. And as I write to you about this, I feel like crying because of how dirty was my soul that day. That even as I had the privilege of witnessing something great because it was not me, I wanted it destroyed. Envy at its purest.

My point being is that possibly people see you as a strong independent woman. And not many humans are strong and independent (I think we men fake strong independence but we are as slaves as the person next door, only to our desire and insecurity of being rejected- hence all the violence against woman. My theory).

But these people see you, and instead of seeing the woman you are, they see the people they are not. And that makes them angry and afraid.

Thank you for sharing that energy you carry with us all.

Pablo
