 yeah. real helpful. how about you fuck off to canada or whatever and give away
 all your possessions. Maybe they'll train you and teach you how to help in
 some way and you can come back later when the time is right.

 if your life is lived at the behest of another, then is it truly your life at

 the whole point of life is to express your decisions and intentions onto the
 world. when you can't do that, (because you're oppressed, depressed, or
 distressed) then your life has no meaning. Fuck that.

 if there's a phone number on something, find someone else who wants it instead
 of calling it. doh. extra degrees of separation.
 
 if you think you know someone who wants something, take it when offered.
 opportunists try and find the most valuable thing, but the truth is they're
 all just as valuable and just as worthless in the right context. something
 that's valuable to you is worthless to me, and something worthless to you is
 valuable to me.
 
 everything's worth less once you sit on it for a while... don't be dumb, keep
 track of what's still going on, but also keep your head down. unlike me, who's

 those are the kind of people who probably shouldn't take up that much space in
 your thoughts
 
 like... they're hypocrites. yeah-sure-fine-whatever. Maybe their opinion could
 be changed if they were in different social circumstances, but, they're not,
 so... fuck 'em until they are, yeah?
 
 so many people don't think for themselves. That's okay, they don't have to
 think if they don't want to. I guess. But they also can hurt people, so...
 fuck 'em, until they are given the chance to consider, and they choose to
 consider.
 
 It's very difficult to maintain hatred when presented with the possibility of
 consideration. But those kind of people typically never have that opportunity.
 So... like I said, fuck 'em. Don't give them power, don't let them hurt
 people, but they can fuck right off with their hatred and vitriol (vitriol not
 unlike this kind that I'm writing right now)

 If you're going to flee, flee to me. I will make use of you, by pointing you

 thinking.

 interacting with me, it's because someone is redacting them. go find that
