The harm we do ourselves
is not the real harm done.

 

This month’s figures are finally in, and the galaxy’s most popular
published work is, “The Book Of Symptoms.”

 

The message from one thinker on, (I’m sure you’ll be glad to know), another planet,
asks me to relay to you the following: “It can be a great relief to realize that
absolutely no one knows what they’re talking about, and that it makes not the
slightest bit of difference to anyone.”
…(is there an unconditional certainty that I should be passing along messages such
as this?)

There is much more to the obvious
than is obvious.

I never told anyone this, (and I still may not), but I once had a real upset fellow
tell me that as far as he was concerned this kinda stuff was
“just getting someone
else to think for you.”
…(I can only hope that he’s calmed down by now.)

Those who don’t talk about their troubles
don’t have no troubles.
