[MD] What's Emptiness?

[MarshaV]

Hi Krimel, 

Some might have thought that I meant this remark.  I was teasing.
I am not upset by being called a psycho-whore.  I wouldn't get 
angry because it's just a silly label.  And I happen to think what 
Lila said in Chapter 14 was quite correct under average for most 
individuals.  

I didn't include the part about Elsie because my thoughts were 
of my stepfather, his suffering, his dying, the impermanence of life.
And I was responding to Mark's clinging.
