Mime-Version: 1.0 Hi Mary, I think you have brought up a very important issue. My question to you and others is the following: what if a person has experienced an extremely painful life in an extremely negative way (for instance he had a lot of "bad luck" all his life and had no coping skills.) Should he refrain from telling the truth of his experience because he might affect others negatively? And... do you think Kafka's "Metamorphosis" is an abusive novel? Thanks.
