I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.

My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.

What you do for yourself is one thing. What you do for others is something else entirely.

Don't go to summer camp. Bury your parents in the backyard and have the place to yourself.

The times I have tried to get close to someone resulted in me feeling threatened and weak.

I have not the smarts or patience for political office.

Quite often governments are one way and the people are another.
