“I will study and prepare myself, and someday my chance will come.”

on pschopathy
The lights burn blue. It is now dead midnight.
Cold fearful drops stand on my trembling flesh.
What do I fear? Myself? There’s none else by.
Richard loves Richard; that is, I and I.
Is there a murderer here? No. Yes, I am.
Then fly! What, from myself? Great reason why:
Lest I revenge. What, myself upon myself?
Alack, I love myself. Wherefore? For any good
That I myself have done unto myself?
O, no! Alas, I rather hate myself
For hateful deeds committed by myself.
I am a villain. Yet I lie. I am not.
Fool, of thyself speak well. Fool, do not flatter.
- Richard III, Act 5, Scene 3, Shakespeare [circa 1593]

an empathetic dental place
Do dental appointments stress you out? Try Atlantis in Guelph. Warm, accommodating, competent, efficient, thorough - they ran half a dozen tests/procedures to better gauge and rectify my situation swiftly.
Unlike many, Atlantis accepts ODSP coverage.
Run errands before and/or after. Banking, shopping, restaurants. All that the heart of Guelph offers.
less exposure to liability
Why some authors sometimes prefer to write fictional novels instead of autobiographies or biographies:
If you meet the requirements for a civil action, you can sue someone for defamation, whether libel or slander, if they have written or said something bad about you. However, you must be able to prove the necessary elements of a defamation suit if you wish to collect damages.
Defamation can take two forms, which are generally referred to as libel and slander. Libel is defined as a defamation of a person, group, organization, product, government, or country that was made in written or printed words or in pictures. Slander is the same thing, except the defamatory statement was made in the form of spoken words, sounds, sign language, or gestures.

The Eighth Commandment
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”
Lying is condemnned. Because God is regarded as the author of all truth, the Church believes that humans are obligated to honor the truth. The most obvious way to fulfill this commandment is not to lie — intentionally deceive another by speaking a falsehood. So a good Catholic is who you want to buy a used car from.

The Law of Unintended Consequences:
In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes that are not the ones foreseen and intended.
"Combine antidepressants plus marijuana and its 66 cannabinoids and you've got a mystery stew for the brain ... Taking prescription antidepressants and simultaneously self-medicating with marijuana is not a good idea."

"It makes you feel 1000% better. No, a million times. You'll do anything, from stealing to straight gay prostitution to finance the next high. It doesn't discriminate; all socioeconomic, intellectual stratas are represented."

effort
So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years-
Twenty years largely wasted, the years of l'entre deux guerres-
Trying to use words, and every attempt
Is a wholy new start, and a different kind of failure
Because one has only learnt to get the better of words
For the thing one no longer has to say, or the way in which
One is no longer disposed to say it. And so each venture
Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate,
With shabby equipment always deteriorating
In the general mess of imprecision of feeling,
Undisciplined squads of emotion. And what there is to conquer
By strength and submission, has already been discovered
Once or twice, or several times, by men whom one cannot hope
To emulate - but there is no competition -
There is only the fight to recover what has been lost
And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions
That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.
― T.S. Eliot
