550:660) Ann Date: 18-JUN-94 19:06 i'm surprised that you used the word humiliating to describe OJ' experience last night Aurora. i don't think he humiliated himself at all. he lost control. . it was a very unfortunate and sad event. the whole thing has been tragic. nothing he has done has wiped out the respect and admiration that he had. respect and admiration are now part of his past life experience. he now has a terrible future ahead of him. he knows his future now will be awful, and he knows he can't turn the clock back which makes it all the worse. i do feel compassion for him. i guess in some ways i feel more compassion for him than i do for people dying in wars around the world. probably because his behaviour is behaviour that i can see anyone of us exhibiting. i can't imagine myself being stuck in a war zone, or going hungry from starvation, or being expelled from my country, though those are far worse events than OJ experienced. i can however see myself losing control one day and not being responsible for my actions and not acting rationally. i hope when that happens, that others won't consider that i have humiliated myself. - - - - - .
