I have since shared your post with a woman I greatly admire. She said recently that of all the men she was surrounded by and who were nice that “You don’t know their thoughts.” I was thinking of your post as she said it. We both know men.

To which I replied, “But, they were all probably interested in you.

To which she said, “But, that’s different; thoughts are thoughts. As long as you don’t bring them into existence.”
