skepticism

"Life, my dear Maximo, has taught me that nothing is simple, it just seems simple sometimes, and it's always when it looks simplest that we should most doubt it, You're being very skeptical, As far as I know, no one is born skeptical, ..." --Jose Saramago, The Double


i distrust your assigning yourself negative adjectives and using those as excuses to

say/do/believe what you believe/do/say.

"shouldn't be talking," you might say. "you've provoked quite a lot of skepticism in your life." yeah, i might answer, but i swallow it and intend to do infinitely better the next time. to a fault i always forgive so easily the next time - again, if it is a fault, at least with the intention of never doing it again. (apparently all beings are magicians when it comes to dispelling anything angry or determined from my weak heart.) who will plan to take my dishes when i'm gone?
