It takes a certain amount of self-confidence to share with others one's discoveries, insights, thoughts.
Once that confidence has been swept away by the realization that one is a liar (to himself more than anyone else), untrustworthy, immature, and unwise, it's hard to justify trying to pass off one's thoughts as anything but prattle, whereas before he might have thought there was at least some wisdom or other value in those thoughts. It's easy in such times to be Empty.
I know of about six friends who are traumatized in one way or another this week. I also have confidence that all will survive, and heal.
