Do you know why most people don't "do the right thing"? Because it sucks, that's why. Do you know why we all prefer to talk to our friends about what so-and-so did that deeply wounded and offended us? Because-- they'll understand and sympathize. They won't suggest that our perceptions are faulty; our memories poor; and our intentions purely, insidiously evil. (can you have pure evil? another good question, Kehler).
Ah, yes. The big Kahuna. The face to face. The Kon Fron Tay Shun.

Why is it that it's those things that I find so easy to do that I need to quit doing?
B- I hate when you talk about me that way.
J- well. Don't do what I did. It didn't turn out well. You should write more, and quit being so nice to your grandkids. And eat more cookies. And thrift more.
