Friends, Kossacks, Netizens, lend me your ears!

The Universe has imposed a terrible burden on me, & the only way in which I may be able to lessen it is to share it with all of you. I can only imagine that, in a previous life, I did something so horrible, so horrendous, & so heinous, that my punishment was immediately & mercilessly meted out in a completely-non-proportionate manner in this life.

What is the ignomy that I suffer?
