yes, i had my chocolate cake today ... wanting the savory flavor i have for a while. gluttonous i am not ... i hope. a minor exhibitionist, yes; sycophants, no. dark room 4 in kaplan, yes; conclusions, no. alone, yes; alone, no. regret, yes; remorse, yes; respite -- some. thank you, thank you, thank you. i think that's all i can give you, for now ---- thank you

thank you

thank you.

'we run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put something before us to prevent us from seeing it.'

'we arrive at truth, not by reason only, but also by the heart.'

ps quoted, "2. watch the way a [man] treats other people; sooner or later [he'll] treat you that way, too..."
pps title of preadolescent novel: "the monkeypants paradox"
ppps for siqi: "few people speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, skeptically of skepticism."<--
pppps decisions are infinitely complex, utterly unable to be generalized, but i have so much faith in mankind...'contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.'

"All reasoning yields to feeling." Blaise Pascal
