What wold you do if you knew you could not fail?

I need something to look forward to so I stop frantically grasping at the past and youth.

But what?

Slaves

A Slave:
1) One who works for subsistence, not for enjoyment of life.

Self-slavery:
TV, junk food, cigarettes,lack of confidence, risk aversion, homeostasis.

Worst Day Ever

Worst day on the market so far.  down 6% in one day!  So far, it's over $20000 since the start of the summer.

My oral surgery is going to cost $5000 when it could have been free last year.

My knee is bugging me and my physical decline is well under way.

Winter has started.

Now, this morning I learned that I've killed my car by failing to keep enough oil in it. 

FUCK FUCK FUCK!

Is it Karma?

Have I been a bad person?

What the fuck is this?

Why is everything going wrong at once?

Being Right

Just because someone knows more than you about something does not in any way make him or her more right.  Why are we often more confident that the one with a greater knowledge is any more correct?

They could, in fact, be wrong for more reasons.

Nori

Nori is a weak and fragile person.

She is not strong, nor supportive, nor helpful.

She does not care about your feelings or health or happiness unless it directly affects her.

BUT!

Do not dislike her for it.

Her weakness and dependence is one of the reasons you love her -- she is so naive and pure.

Her selfishness is not her fault -- she doesn't understand other people.
