The introverts have it

It is fair to say that the description 'introvert' is generally thought a negative one. But the worm is turning!  To equate the term with being 'shy' is seriously mistaken. It refers to an orientation to the inner and outer worlds. Thanks to Simon for sening me this link (23 Signs You Are Secretly an Introvert). It turns out that we are really valuable to the world. Yippee!  And Susan Cain's TED talk helps with the case for the defence.

Belief is reassuring. People who live in the world of belief feel safe. On the contrary, faith is forever placing us on the razor's edge. Jacques Ellul
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for any one else. Charles Dickens (Our Mutual Friend)
