Why Criticism Is A Blinding Agent For The Few.
If you think that something is wrong with a matter that interests you,

you have already studied it  --  and found it to be malfunctioning.  Case closed!
Nothing could be further from the certain man’s position.
(“Yes, I have studied the weather extensively, and now understand it:
I found it to be mostly: too rainy, too windy, and too cold.
Now on to politics and religion!”)

when discussing the so-called spiritual & psychological world inside of him.
(“What is this: super strange, or doubly neat in some way we don’t see?”)
 
 

Dialogue.
“A real man would be he who after being told he is dying would mention it to no one.”
    “Close --  but a real man wouldn’t even mention it to himself.”
 
 

Urban Update.
In the city it is common for those who feel they have serious, personal-issues
to also believe that they are metaphysically, on-to-something.
    Dolorem ergo praecipuus: I suffer  --  therefore I’m special.

Colloquy.
“What could be more fun than laughing at other people!”
      “Seeing life as it is.”

Do Give All Things Their Due.

When he heard the reliable report that over 95% of all illnesses
will eventually go away whether you seek medical treatment or not,
one man wondered why this wouldn’t also be true concerning being dumb,

(“The great thing about living in this great country is that any person,
regardless of their political persuasion or social position,

In his study of the relationship between mind and thoughts,
one fellow says he pictures it as shoes telling feet:
“Hey! --  we can wear out before you can,”  and feet replying: “Don’t you bet on it.”
    “It’s nice for a change to see an allegory aimed below the waist."

When Willard The Wonder Horse found himself in a land where
no one else could count, he mused:
“Why would any Gargantua purposefully put himself amongst Lilliputians,
