Cerine:

Thank you.

SNDY:

Thank you. I believe there  are Suvits and Ravis (from the last story if you remember) in the lives of most people here. If you think of it, Ravi could have been a Suvit at one time in many respects and Suvit might one day become a Ravi (and vice versa.)

Rythm:

Thank you. It is  interesting that you showed empathy, as opposed to disdain, with the introspecting protagonist on the bench.  I have a bad habit of trying to guess what types of people readers are. Only someone as pathetic as me would find the time time to do such an egregious thing I suppose but if I had to make  a guess as to the personality types of the people who enjoyed this story, here is how I would break them down:

 First, they would either posses some or all of the attributes of the protagonist  and  would personally be able to relate to all or parts of his story.

Second, they would be adventurous enough to momentarily put aside pride, prejudice, bias, stereotypes and  any other preconceived notions about people like Suvit and  would be willing to let him  show them his world.

Third,  they would be emotionally steady , perhaps even enlightened,  and be able to read other people's stories without being judgmental. They wouldn't get swayed by the emotions of others be it of the characters in the story, the narrator or those reacting to the story.

I see you have your legs in all three buckets.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to babble. Those characterizations were strictly in a light vein. They were not meant to slight anyone and hope they won't be taken the wrong way by anyone.

Wish you the very best.

Audrey:

Thank you. Rythm is being generous with the 1000s metaphor. Units would be more like it if I had to make a guess.

Guest 4:

Many thanks. I looked up the dictionary and was thrilled with the meaning of the word. I genuinely appreciate your comment.  

Mickthesick:

Thank you.
