hmmm...there is something here that i need to ponder further.  i
think that every word you said is true, EXCEPT that i shouldn't
ever think of myself as a burder.  i think that i am.  it doesn't
mean people won't willingly help me, it doesn't mean i have nothing
to contribute.  it doesn't completely define me, but it is part of
my definition.
