the self inflicted corporal punishment often preceded by I am sorry to tell you while bleeding from open raw sore nerves suddenly exposed, you say  (like a politician losing) - "I understand"- while every cell, molecule .... fibre is screaming. "Yes , certainly, we can remain friends", as you choke down bile, the spite, ***** words and swallow them. Well, I have done that. And after a good mental flogging, (by myself inflicted) gone on to realize, I was a gentleman. But, with my right hand I punched an innocent wall, and the hole in the door attests, two of my fingers blue and aching bent forever- 'twas not easy
