All I can think at the moment is how sad that would be.
Isn't it the bully who is hiding his fear, the braggart hiding his insecurity, and those so loudly shouting the truth that truly don't know?
We cannot avoid the void if we have it.
We must fill it with something of substance and value.
No one else can fill it for us.
