if i got a dollar for every time i summon or convey or just rustle up a new opinion — i’d be obscenely wealthy. if i double the dollar for every time i truly take up the opinion as a conviction, i’d be more than obscene hee! hee!
i almost always have opinions coming right out of my ears. i do not really expect others to take them up as their own, but i surely do stand by them.
a discussion of Dante’s The Comedy is the reason for this blabbering. i think it makes sense. indifference is a sin indeed.
i usually make my students laugh when i ‘accuse’ them of just sharing in the oxygen of the universe (and therefore, being a waste) every time they could not seem to make up their mind on a yes-no question. th
ey know i mean it, though.
as in the famous epic, there is punishment for those who wouldn’t shed blood or tears for anything.
i may not always be right.
but i take a stand.
and people can count on me to never be on the fence when they need me to be on their side. when i am not on theirs, at least they know it, too. there is peace in truth.
