Dear Lucy,

Thanks for the kind words, they were well received.

I really was more concerned about NOT 'falling' from being stabbed since I
didn't know what would happen to the girl if I did. However I think it is
more that I 'value' the contribution made by girls to society as a whole.

I know in Canada (where I live) the statistics say it all. Of the youth
aged 12-17, twice as many girls were found to be depressed than boys.

This ties in with the results of a study, that found girls of these ages
were more likely to get depressed, because they often become so involved
in trying to help others with their problems.

These girls are going to be the 'mothers' of the next generation. From
what I see in the world, 'girls' seem to be part of the small group of
people who actually _care_ about other people beyond themselves.

I know I am generalizing to an extent, but 'compassion' is a rare commodity
these days. Which is probably why people like Ocean Girl so much.

Some people told me that risking my life wasn't a "smart thing to do" even
though I'm member of MENSA(see link for info) in Canada! :>

When I helped that girl and got stabbed, for me the reward was her smile.

It's amazing how something that simple can be so rewarding to me, but I
wouldn't have it any other way...

Regards,

Savant
