Sometimes I feel bad about what I write. Right now there is a reader from Russia on this site and one of the posts being read right now is http://publicoccurrenc.blogspot.com/2014/08/did-you-know-russia-celebrate-may-day.html?m=1. The chances are 100% that the Russian is the reader of that post in which I conclude: "The Russian people are despicable." That is what I felt then, that is what I feel now, less acutely than then, but generally. That is how I have felt since the invasions of Ukraine. I have written "Farewell to Russia," I have given up on the Russian people. Still makes me feel bad that a Russian person read that, that I hurt another human being.
