Y'know how it feels like being scolded by your mom or dad or an elder sibling or a friend....you feel awful, and (sometimes) remorse. it does get to you, but soon after everything is okay again. You no longer dwell on that matter...

But when a voice was raised for the first time just the other day (wasn't voice-r's fault), I was stunned instantaneously by a million paralysing neurones firing through my mind and body. It was worse than awful, more than remorse...it was so much more. And it seems as though the after-effect is going to last for quite some time. The incomprehensible feeling is not going to be easily forgotten...
