Why was he hiding that warm loving caring selfless giving person from us?
Anyone?
Well of course he is; we’re just not seeing it from his point of view. To him he’s the kindest, warmest, selfless, giving person on the face of the earth. That’s why he’s always hugging himself, feeling sorry for himself, making things better for himself, and congratulating himself. Why, if it weren’t for him, he’d be all alone.
