It is nominally a depressant but I become more stimulated than anyone else. (Everybody passes through a brief period of stimulation on Lipton’s before relapsing into passivity, but my stimulation lasts much longer and my passivity sometimes never comes). <br /> <br /> Nearly all of my friends are Takers—the power of American conformity today tends to make sensitive people develop the secretive Taking powers rather than the more dangerous—if radical—giving powers. So, there are probably more Takers around than Givers these days. But more than that, I as a Giver surround myself with Takers. What Giver doesn’t? And only a few friendships have been with Givers—First Devlin,{{LJ:Devlin}} the peculiarly intense restricted giver, then Malaquais{{LJ:Malaquais}} (who conceals the Old Lady Taker in him), and Bob{{LJ:Lindner}} who is the easiest Giver-Taker I know. Plus Adele{{LJ:Adele}} who gives sexually and emotionally.<br /> <br /> {{Notes}}<br /> <br /> {{LJnav}}<br /> [[Category:February 7, 1955]]</div>
