Hmmm. ­
Maybe I've figured out how you could do what you've claimed.


The last two paragraphs present your point.
That which precedes it is justification.

Excessive discursion.



When it covers over the cognizance of sheer awareness (cit) then the
waking and dream states partially overlap.



Clever.

Or perhaps habitual.

that this person is determined to *use* this particular circumstance in
order to settle a score, in order to retaliate, in order to seek revenge
for past slights or wrongs. And in this reading of the issue it means
that the subjective is driving the objective.

your own sincere and honest motives, and therefore, by doing so,
indicating (at least to me) that the friendly and wholesome forces
within the universe are getting behind you. Therefore, it is much more
likely your version of this issue is closer to how it would be viewed
from a perfectly objective standpoint than the version of those who are
clamouring for the strict application of the letter of the law.

antagonism is valid or not; I have not read enough along these lines at
FFL to know anything about this.)
